Mechanica changes
This update introduces various new weapons as well as an entirely new enemy type: F.R.A.N.K
F.R.A.N.K F.R.A.N.K is the newest addition to Odyssey's robot lineup. He is a heavy hitter, making use of a large machete in close range and a powerful laser cannon at distance. He has a large amount of health and is impervious to impact damage. What he lacks in speed, he makes up for in durability and deadliness - he is truly a formidable enemy.
