Balance Almost every weapon and game element received varying adjustments, making loadout combinations and your mech’s design’s choices even more important than before.
Map improvements We spent a good amount of time improving visuals in multiple maps, tuning and adjusting pickups for better balancing, optimizing for smoother gameplay.
