Full Changelog - Update 120 - Experimental 4

Additions:

  • Added UI Interface to Ammo Counter Attachments

  • Added 4 new Typeface Options for Ammo Counter Attachments

  • Added Change Interval and Frame Delay options to Ammo Counter Attachments

Take & Hold Scoring Changes:

  • All ‘Alert’ based Scoring Bonuses (implicit penalties) have been removed

  • Damage/Health Remaining bonuses are now ranges instead of binary bonuses

  • Kill/Style/ Bonuses now apply to Hold Point Guard Sosigs as well.

  • There is now an ‘execution time’ bonus between the first and last Hold Point Guard being killed, clamped between a 5 and 25 second time range. The min time clamp is to ensure sosigs dying to bleed-out (while being already effectively downed) doesn’t negatively impact an otherwise ‘perfect’ fast clear

  • Hold completion time bonus increased

  • Hold kill distance bonus removed (encouraged a stupid meta)

  • Inflated the base Hold Completion by so new scores will slowly supplant old scores

Changes:

  • Changed how Sosiggun Ammo Scavenging works. Magazines will only be retrieved up to the capacity of magazines that you already possess for a gun. They will only be loaded up to the amount of rounds in the Sosiggun being scavenged. And Sosigguns that do not visually have magazines cannot produce them.

  • Adjusted the ammo capacity of some Sosigguns

  • Configured all sosigguns to know whether they should produce scavenged magazines

  • Changed the total number of targets one needs to destroy in Blitz mode. This amount increases (up to a limit) based upon the current Hold Phase.

  • Tweaked a bunch of Take & Hold point sequences for Institution

  • Ammo Counters should now save their settings

Fixed:

  • Fixed incorrect capacity and round type configurations on a bunch of Sosigguns
