Server Performance / Desync
We made various improvements to server performance. These changes aim to address the"desync" issues (invisible enemies, shop malfunctions, game breaking entirely, etc.). We need your feedback to determine if these changes resolve any issues you've experienced.
We continue to work on improving performance, but it's challenging to gauge the impact without your input since we cannot reproduce such problems in-house.
Other
- In testing: new region selection when opening lobbies. - Dropping items no longer resets cooldowns. - Fixed lobby ready button mismatching the player. - Various minor improvements.

Gameplay
Upgrades
Item and ability rarities have been adjusted. This results in healing abilities and items costing less to upgrade compared to other abilities. This change offers more choices in determining which items to upgrade, thus presenting players with more strategic options.
Loot
Further improvements to item and weapon shop rarities and some costs have been adjusted to be more logical. Varied costs are reduced a bit, but epics in the uncommon weapon shop now cost 200 more, highlighting the uncommon items. Fixed the issue of the uncommon item shop having items of too low rarity. Corrected the bug where scavenging yielded an excessive number of upgrade kits. We are still monitoring this.
Loop
Loop enemy movement speed reduced from 50% bonus to 30% bonus. Loop armor bonus decreased from 40% to 20%. Fixed the issue of players not receiving the loop debuff. Further loop improvements and additional loot are planned for the near future.
Map Icons
New icons for weapon chests, item chests, players, pickups.
Shops
Variant Override added to the tinkerer shop. Weapon tuning now provides +1 upgrade kit. Mystery trader's power has been significantly increased. Dodgy pills and Titanium legs have been upgraded to epic tier. Grenade arm now also boosts ejection speed. Chaos Technology Insertion now grants 2 perks. Fixed issues with Ammo Refit.
