Damage system Overhaul

Stagger System If a player takes more than 8 damage from a source, they will be staggered for a short duration. While Staggered they cannot use their first or second attacks. Timing your attacks is much more important now. Improved Damage Detection Taking 8 damage or more will cause a player to be knocked back (scaled based on how much damage is being dealt). To improve this system we now feed the actual location you were damaged from. This creates a richer experience as you can now control where you knock players into. More impactful kills Killing a player now slows down time and desaturates the screen for a short period of time. Cooldown adjustment Cooldowns now carry over between deaths, to prevent spawn spamming.

More ways to make Space Bucks

For an easy payment of $9.99... just kidding! You now earn whatever space-bucks you gained during the tournament, no more arbitrary values! To help make money, we've added 5 Money Events! These are events that randomly happen while playing the Live! gamemode Events

• Zombie Invasion (summons zombies that drop cash on death)

• Sqorble Slayer (Summons a cute defenseless creature that drops a pile of cash when you murder it)

• Madness (Randomly become confused but always drop cash for a medium duration)

• Money Pool (A money pool spawns, stand on it to make the big bucks!)

• Mystery Crates (Break open the crates, some have dynamite while others have load of cash!)

Diva gives 50 space bucks per tick as well! While playing, you can use your in match Space Bucks to buy from the shops that are around the map!
