addedWeapon Groups - And new weaponsWeapons are now placed into groups. This allows you to save powerful weapons for a specific enemy or group weapons together for combo effects. This will also allow us to add more crazy weapons that you don't want to fire all the time.

More mouse friendly camera controls and aiming

When using mouse you can now tilt the camera and the aim up and down while scroll let's you zoom. If your aim intersects with something you get an indicator showing you where it is.

For controller it works similarly but tilting the camera also controls zoom.

Target Lock Mechanic 2.0

The target lock mechanic now supports locking onto the nearest target if none is hovered. When the locked target is destroyed the target lock also jump onto the next closest target.

Weapon Groups - And new weapons

Weapons are now placed into groups. This allows you to save powerful weapons for a specific enemy or group weapons together for combo effects. This will also allow us to add more crazy weapons that you don't want to fire all the time.

Here's the UI for it in the journal:

We have also been busy with new weapons to enhance the arsenal you have available in the game and they are shaping up nicely but that will be something for another update. Safe winds out there!
