Listed here are all of the modifications that had been made within the Early Access Update 3 Patch:

GENERAL

• Elemental weapon mods at the moment are probability based mostly as a substitute of cooldown based mostly. This has been a closely requested characteristic and I might be transferring from cooldowns to probability based mostly on many different mods in upcoming updates to permit for much more insane construct scaling! The final thought is that it’s boring for a strong factor to fireplace solely as soon as each 5 seconds max and it’s way more enjoyable for a weaker factor to fireplace doubtlessly a number of occasions a second (scaling properly with hearth charge and probability construct choices).
• To ensure that this to be balanced and contemplating {that a} 20% probability to burn enemies can be continually utilized from the minigun (as a result of quick hearth charge) and would barely be utilized in any respect from the sniper (as a result of sluggish hearth charge), the bottom set off probability for the sure perks will change relying on the weapon used (with quick firing weapons having a decrease base probability and sluggish firing weapons having the next base probability).
• The next mods use this technique and extra will observe sooner or later:
  • Ice Shot
  • Fireplace Shot
  • Poison Shot
  • Lightning Shot
  • Random Shot
  • Extremely Shot
  • Time Bolt
  • Triple Shot
  • Arc Shot
  • X Shot
  • Sq. Shot
  • Mega Crit
  • Cut up Shot
  • Scatter Shot
  • Concentrating on Shot
  • Homing Shot
• Overhauled the save system- there at the moment are a number of save backups and a separate save for person settings. This tremendously reduces the prospect of your save file changing into corrupt (some gamers had been experiencing a NULL bug the place they couldn’t transfer after their PC misplaced energy whereas an autosave was saving) as there at the moment are 2 additional backup saves to try to stop that from ever occurring
• Elevated the utmost projectile restrict from 300 to 400
• Time Shot can now crit which ought to make it way more attention-grabbing and helpful
• Added new weapon mod: Extremely Shot: Probability to fireplace excessive injury bullets alongside along with your pictures
• Added new weapon mod: Time Bolt: Probability to fireplace bolts that deal injury over time
• Added new perk: Rigged Totems: Probability based mostly totems usually tend to roll in your favor
• Added new perk: Streamer Loot: Larger rarity loot has a higher probability to spawn from chests
• Modified Inexperienced Cube: renamed to Gold Cube, buffed to Legendary rarity and has a stronger impact on probability based mostly mods and perks however not supplies the upper rarity loot profit that it had earlier than. A word about wording that could be complicated: it says +50% probability for probability based mostly mods and perks to trigger- this doesn’t imply including a flat 50% to all probability based mostly issues (as this is able to shortly break many perks), it insteads multiplies the prospect by 150%. So a base probability of 20% might be 30% with the 50% additional probability buff that Gold Cube supplies
• Improved the Tropical biome parkour island format to have a greater and simpler move
• Changed 6 placeholder skins with contemporary new ones: Emerald, Glimmer, Jet Black, Ruby, Sapphire and Silver

BALANCE CHANGES

• Decreased enemy injury scaling a bit on Nightmare issue particularly when looping because it shortly turns right into a “lose all of your well being on one hit” kind of state of affairs which I’m not a fan of. Don’t get me wrong- I nonetheless need enemies to be extraordinarily damaging when looping on Nightmare however this could simply make it really feel like you possibly can take an additional hit or two earlier than the run is over
• Blocker Cranium motion pace diminished by 25%
• The Unstoppable problem (Get a win with over 10000 eliminations) elimination requirement has been diminished all the way down to 7500 eliminations
• Common melee crabs, ants and slugs are barely bigger to make them simpler to hit
• Ice Shot is now unlocked by default

QUALITY OF LIFE

BUG FIXES

• Fastened a bug that was inflicting the settings menu to remain lively in a hidden state whereas the sport was enjoying, leading to frequent stutters as the sport saved continually
• Some mod and perk descriptions that had been inaccurate have been up to date (comparable to Cash Is Energy displaying a 1% elevated in injury when it’s really a ten% improve)
• Fastened challenge the place enemies would cease spawning if gamers had been far-off from any spawn factors
