Major Feature Additions

• 12 new levels
The highlight of this update. Many level editor features were made to support the experiences the levels wanted to create. The larger scale of the newer levels necessitated optimization of AI behavior, the benefits of which also carry over to the base levels.
• New cannon mode, meta grenade
Given the level reorder and properties of the initial campaign, players ended up entering the final level ‘The Wall’, with a brand new arm cannon type, immediately after unlocking it. The beam flamethrower arm cannon mode was initially also used in the ‘Estate’ level. The sudden confusing and underwhelming nature of the overcharged cannon necessitated the introduction of an improved late-game upgrade. The Meta Grenade has similar uses to the Plasma Grenade, but has more charges, no drop-off, faster travel speed, and more enemy damage. Rather than giving the player something different and unfamiliar in the final levels, we wanted to improve the player’s current ability to express themselves by increasing the usability of the standard arm cannon.
• Adds Specialist npc
A recolor of the standard enemy type, but with new guns, doubled movement speed and health, and crouches less often. The majority of enemy types in the game can be killed quickly, even without headshots. Making a tougher, faster, more aggressive enemy type fills a niche that the old enemy roster didn’t have. Their dropped weapons include a mix of new and underused guns, which mirror, but are an improvement upon, the standard enemy loadout.
• Added suppressed deagle
The only previous sidearm type weapon that was suppressed was a fast, high capacity, burst fire pistol. A slower weapon with the same damage as the deagle provides a sidegrade option.
• Added suppressed mac10
The smg class of weapons didn’t have a suppressed option, and a huge suppressor on a tiny gun looks cool.
• Added sawn off shotgun
A requested weapon by bloody, the sawn off is dropped by specialists and heavies. High damage, low range, low capacity weapons are fun. It is capable of 1 shotting a heavy enemy if enough pellets hit.
• Added lever action
Guns with manual actions are cool, a one armed protagonist who is also able to use such a gun is even cooler.
• Tweaked music throughout campaign
Many tracks created by Floating Door for the OST were unused. Adding new levels interspaced in the campaign provided the opportunity to revise the existing bgm.
• New achievements

Stunt Balancing

> Added 0.5 seconds to jump and double jump startup
Jumping from a flat surface gave a small amount of stunt, about 0.15 seconds, at the beginning and at the end of the jump arc. Both trigger because of the passive stunt status granted when being above 850 units of speed. The additional forced stunt time of 0.5 seconds allows the player to stay in stunt mode until near the apex of the jump. This allows a larger and more forgiving window to transfer from sliding or standing to wallrun, behaves more similarly to the stunt time granted from walljumping and doublejumping from a walljump, and overall allows for safer vertical movement.

> Leaving fan gives .5 seconds stunt

Weapon Balancing

Many weapons felt underwhelming. Visual tweaks in randomized gun attachments and audio tweaks in gun sounds help distinguish them from each other. All smg type weapons, the most commonly used type in the game, received both a base ROF buff as well as a ROF buff while in bullet time. The DB12’s 2 shot burst fire was seldom useful, changing it into a full auto weapon fills a role not yet seen in the shotgun weapon type. The L86, as a weapon that is only placed in levels and not dropped by enemies, felt ineffective and boring, with rifle tier damage but horrible accuracy. Increasing its accuracy, ROF, and giving it the same ROF buff smgs have in bullet time makes it stand out as a powerful gun to use.

> Boosted eon rof by 50 and reduced mag size by 5, increased shot pitch
> Changed R-shotgun sound to match other shotguns more
> Increased db12 mag size by 4
> Tightened bulldog spread, altered sound to match other shotguns
> Doubled deacon volume
> More eon randomization options
> More advanced rifle randomization options
> Reduced bulldog mag size
> Db12 now automatic, reduced mag size
> Boosted l86 rof to 1000, reduced mag size to 60, gives smg bullet time properties
> Reduced l86 dmg
> Boost smg rof
> Adjusted p90 rof and sound
> Randomize zip sights
> Randomize ru2 sights
> Randomize m4 sights and grip
> Scale up up m4 model, combat rifle model, r-shotgun model, l85, 92f, db2
> Beef up db2 sound
> Moved db12 shoulder position
> Adjusted shotgun grip and sound

> Hide hand when no gun (hide ugly fingers)
> Added .7 seconds persistence to weapon ready state

Bugfixes+Optimization

• AI Optimization
Many of the new levels are larger and have higher enemy counts than previous levels, using enemy spawners was necessary to reduce CPU load, tweaking and optimizing spawner properties became necessary. Many older levels did not feature extremely long sightlines, so AI detection and behavior was adjusted to reduce excessive CPU use from AI pathfinding to distant players.
> Performance tweak to enemies spawned in during level, no longer spawn in immediately awake
> NPCs return to spawn and sleep when cant find player
> Reduced NPC sight range for all except sniper
> Turn off npcs sight when player is far away
> Lowered max npc count for auto waves
> Capped npc rof
