Gameplay Changes:
• General
• Final Stage
• 
The final stage has been redone entirely, with unique objectives and a new, large arena to play in. We won’t spoil it. Please let us know how you feel!
• Low Health Threshold
• 20%⇒ 25%
• NPC AI
• All AI now have dramatically improved pathfinding
• All AI now gets position updates on targets who are invisible only every few seconds, rather than losing the target entirely
• Minions
• Drones no longer have resistance to AOE attacks
• All minions now teleport to their owner if they stray past 400m
• All Minions now scale to the ‘ambient level’ of the run
• Developer’s Notes: The ‘ambient level’ is the level of the run that grows over time. Previously, the enemy team used the ‘ambient level’ to set their level. Now, all enemies AND minions are at ambient level. The result of this is that player minions, like ghosts from Happiest Mask, purchased Drones, and yes – the Squid Polyp – will scale much better over time. This matches drone scaling in RoR1.
• Survivor
• Commando
• Update VFX of Double Tap, Phase Round, and Suppressive Fire
• Double Tap
○ * Now fires a single bullet per click
-
○ Bloom Reset Time: 1s ⇒0.7s
-
○ Damage: 90% ⇒ 100%
-
○ Duration: 0.2s ⇒ 0.15s
• Tactical Dive
- ○ Duration: 0.5s ⇒ 0.4s
• Phase Round
- ○ Now deals 40% more damage every time it passes through an enemy
• Huntress
• Now unlocked by default alongside the Commando! Her previous unlock condition (beat the 3rd stage) now unlocks the Bandit.
• Engineer
• Both Gauss Auto-Turret and Carbonizer Turret now also inherit your equipment. They won’t activate it, but they will hold it.
• Grenades now have slight anti-gravity.
• Artificer
• Nano-Bomb
-
○ Tendril Damage: 20% of explosion ⇒ 10% of explosion
-
○ Tendril Fire Frequency: 0.25s ⇒ 0.125s
-
○ Tendril Same Target Frequency: 2s ⇒ 1s
-
○ Developer Notes: This change is made specifically to avoid the Artificer’s Nano-Bomb tendrils proccing Ice and Fire Bands. The tendrils will now fire twice as often, but at half the damage.
• Mercenary
• Blinding Assault
- ○
Now has a lingering 0.2s invincibility to help chain together Blinding Assaults in high-latency online games
• Items
• Bustling Fungus
• Start Delay: 2s ⇒ 1s
• Now heals at a higher tick rate – overall healing is the same, but the healing is smoother over time
• Now has small visual mushrooms that grow over the area
• Energy Drink
• Speed Boost: 30% (+20% per stack) ⇒ 25% (+25% per stack)
• Developer Notes: Mathematically, the Energy Drink was worse than the Goat Hoof for speed after the first pickup, even while sprinting. This change will consistently make Energy Drink stronger when sprinting, and also makes its stacking behavior more consistent. This may make the Energy Drink too strong, but it’ll at least make a bit more sense now.
• AP Rounds
• Improve visual effects to be more noticeable
• Focus Crystal
• Damage Boost: 15% (+15% per stack) ⇒ 20% (+20% per stack)
• Now shows radius for ‘nearby’ distance
• Now causes numbers to be pink when active
• Developer Notes: There are many characters and builds where the Focus Crystal should shine through – however, it never seems to be quite high priority enough for the effort required. We’re hoping that by making it both flashier and stronger, players will prioritize it.
• Rusted Key
• Now subtly glows and pulses
• Now grants items at the same rarity as a Large Chest
• Now spawns a Lockbox per player with a Rusted Key
• Now consumes a Rusted Key when a lockbox is opened, and requires a Rusted Key to open
• No longer scales reward chance with the number of Keys in your inventory
• Developer Notes: People have always been a bit confused about the behavior of the Rusted Key, so we made it make a bit more sense by actually consuming a key to open. 1 Key = 1 Box. Since the item no longer gives ‘infinite’ items, we can also make it a bit stronger and make the lockbox more noticeable.
• Crowbar
• Damage Boost: +50%(+50% per stack) ⇒ +75% (+75% per stack)
• Improve visual effects to be more noticeable
• Update pickup text to include the damage threshold
• Developer Notes: Same reasoning as Focus Crystal – there are many heavy-hitter builds and characters, but Crowbars aren’t prioritized.
• Gasoline
• Now deals 150% base damage on detonation alongside the burn effect
• Stun Grenade
• Added visual effect when the item procs
• Bison Steak (New! Yum!)
• Replaced ‘Fresh Meat’ item
• No longer grants regeneration on kill
• Now grants 25 (+25 per stack) max health
• Tri-Tip Dagger
• Bleed Chance: 15% (+15% per stack) ⇒ 10% (+10% per stack)
• Developer Notes: Right now, bleed is okay until you can stack it infinitely, in which case it becomes incredibly strong. We want to smooth out the power curve a bit, increasing the number of daggers required for ‘infinite’ bleed to match the number of Glasses required for 100% crit.
• Lepton Daisy
• Now activates in all ‘holdout zones’, like Void Fields, and not just during the Teleporter Event
• Old War Stealthkit
• Now activates when falling to low health, rather than as a chance when hurt
• Stealth Duration: 3s (+1.5s per stack) ⇒ 5s
• Stealth Cooldown: 0s ⇒ 30s (-50% per stack)
• Bandolier
• Packs now restocks skills by the amount a full cooldown would
• Packs now also apply to stashed skills, like MUL-T’s second primary
• Radar Scanner
• Now details if an interactable is a Barrel, Chest, Drone, Shrine, or something unknown
• Frost Relic
• Now applies ice slow debuff
• Now has a softer visual
• Damage Coefficient: 150% ⇒ 300%
• Radius: 3m (+1.5m per kill) ⇒ 6m (+3m per kill)
• H3AD-5T v2
• Now calculates damage from distance traveled, not speed on impact
• Developer Notes: Even though this makes less sense from a physics standpoint, it will align better with player expectations. Super long fall = big boom.
• Resonance Disk
• Redo firing logic to be more understandable
• Now grants 1 stacking buff per kill, lasting 5 seconds
• Now fires the Disk at 4 stacks, resetting all stacks
• Defiant Gouge
• Monster Spawn Points: 100 (+100 per stack) ⇒ 40 (+40 per stack)
• Developer Notes: A single Gouge would spawn way too many monsters. Now, having 1 or 2 Gouges should be a reasonable option.
• Focused Convergence
• Now activates in all ‘holdout zones’, like Void Fields, and not just during the Teleporter Event
• Queen’s Gland
• Limit of deployed Beetle Guards now doubles for Artifact of Swarms
• Halcyon Seed
• Changed summoned Aurelionite pre-stack scaling from current-difficulty-based hp + damage bonuses to leveling up to the ambient level like other summoned characters
• Summoned Aurelionite attention span: 5s ⇒ 15s
• Developer Notes: Aurelionite’s raised attention span should make it less likely to get distracted by weaker monsters attacking it so it’s more likely to spend its time fighting stronger monsters.
• Mired Urn
• No longer capable of targeting and healing from allies
• Monster
• Hermit Crab
• Base Damage: 4 (+0.8 per level) ⇒ 12 (+2.4 per level)
• Mortar Projectile Count: 3 ⇒ 1
• Mortar Projectile now has more visible trail
• Developer Notes: When fighting Hermit Crabs, it’s always been difficult to parse where and how many there are. To help clarify their behavior, we made it clearer so 1 mortar = 1 crab.
• Parent
• Health: 900(+270 per level) ⇒ 585 (+176 per level)
• Update visuals to match closer to RoR1 design
• Update animations
• Greater Wisp
• Can now be stunned and frozen
• Lunar Chimera (Golem)
• Health: 1900 (+570 per level) ⇒ 1615 (+485 per level)
• Twinshot Attack
○ * Total Shots: 4 ⇒ 10
-
○ Damage Coefficient: 2 ⇒ 1
-
○ Force: 8000 ⇒ 1000
-
○ Now fires in series, rather than all at once
-
○ Update visuals to be less noisy
-
• Raised the aim origin to be closer to its cannons so it can fire more accurately
-
• Lunar Chimera (Wisp)
-
• Tracking Bomb
-
○ Damage Coefficient: 6 ⇒ 5
-
○ Speed: 90 m/s ⇒ 60 m/s
-
○ Update visuals to be less noisy
• Beetle Queen
• Summon Beetles
-
○ Beetle Count: 5 ⇒ 2
-
○
Now summons Beetle Guards instead of Beetles
• Scavenger
• Now properly spawn as elites
• Developer Notes: Apparently, Scavengers were already spawning as elites – with their health and damage buff – but did not have their elite equipment (Burning, Glacial, etc). Now they will.
• Void Reaver
• Added a minimum distance between bombs
•SPOILERS! Final Boss, Last Phase. SPOILERS!
• Base Health: 1000 (+300 per level) ⇒ 1400 (+420 per level)
• Added stagger state triggered by taking high damage
• Item Steal
○ * Now consistently returns items as you deal damage, rather than randomly, i.e if you have him at 50% health, you will have 50% of your items back
-
○ Now consistently returns items to players in multiplayer in order (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4) rather than per-player damage
-
○ Now returns items in the order that you found them, rather than in reverse order
-
○ Now utilizes Crowbars
• Stages
• Bazaar Between Time
• Now allows you to reroll shop contents, at the cost of 1/2/4/8… lunar coins
• Wetland Aspect
• Altered stage layout to add more identifiable landmark areas
• Sky Meadows
• Reduce initial map monster spawns by -24%
