Major Update 3: The Underworld

Hello, Hitchhiker.

Trinity Fusion’s Major Update 3 is now live, featuring:

• A new boss in the Underworld: The Extant Decay

• Updated enemy setups in the Underworld levels.

• Fine-tuned the combat feel based on the feedback we got at Gamescom and PAX.

  • Hit feedback when attacking multiple enemies at once has been reworked to make the player character feel more responsive.

  • There are now generally slightly more enemies per level, but enemies have a bit less base health.

  • Added controller rumble. Keep the feedback on this coming!

• A brand new Energy Weapon for Altara: The Resonance Star. A chargeable projectile that ricochets off of walls and between enemies, with a chance to inflict Weak on anything it damages.

  

• Altara has a new passive traversal ability: Hover.

  • This ability is unlocked after defeating the Extant Decay.

Other stuff in the update:

Enemy Changes:

• A brand-new ranged enemy has been added to the Underworld when playing on Veteran and Hardcore difficulties: the Squidshroom

  

• Airborne enemies like the Wasps and Quad Shooters now go into a recoil animation when hit, interrupting their attacks, making it easier to take them out up close without getting hit.

• Flying enemies in the Underworld now have substantially less base HP.

• Ewer Assassin no longer gets stuck midair if killed while teleporting away.

• Fixed a bug that made the first Underworld boss stop attacking the player after a while.

Weapon Tweaks

• A large “NO ENERGY” prompt now appears on-screen when the player attempts to use an Energy Weapon without enough Energy.

• The Hunter Seeker projectiles now lock onto enemies from a much greater distance.

• Weapons with an intrinsic elemental effect now list the effect in their perks list.

• The Ice Katana has been toned down so it’s a little less broken.

Streamer Mode:

• Adjusted the appearance of the the on-screen text to make it a bit more readable

• Updated the localizations for the chat messages.

Misc Changes and fixes:

• Several areas in the In-Between have been slightly tweaked to make it more clear where the player needs to go to proceed.

• Fixed a bug that was breaking the Reroll upgrade on the Amp Select screen
