New Features

Gameplay

Procedural Weapon Recoil and FPS Combat Balance
  • Introduction of Procedural Weapon Aim Recoil to FPS combat. With this update we have overhauled the recoil of the majority of the weapons to use the new and improved procedural recoil tool shown at CitizenCon, this will improve the diversity of the weapon sandbox allowing each weapon to fulfil a more specific and niche role whilst allowing for more intense visual recoil.
    • Overall you will find greater weapon variety in how weapons play and feel with tweaks such as weapons now having consistent recoil patterns and the removal of ADS spread.
      • Full Weapon Reworks: The Arclight Pistol has had a full rework and is now a burst pistol with an alt fire mode of single fire. The LH86 Pistol is now fully automatic.
      • Fire Rate Changes: Demenco, S71, and P4AR have all been reworked to increase their fire rates. Lumin V burst delay has been decreased.
      • Force Reaction Updates: Forces have been tweaked across a range of weapons to make knockdowns only occur in situations where that would ‘feel’ that should occur. This should appear as an overall reduction in staggers & knockdowns.
      • Other changes include balances to sniper rifles to avoid players in heavy armor being 1 shot when hit by a sniper rifle while still allowing this to happen to players wearing medium armor.
  • Along with weapon balance changes we have adjusted player health, damage modifiers, and medical to increase time to kill (TTK).
  • Damage modifiers have been adjusted to allow for more consistent fire fights & times. Removed increased stamina costs on limb HP pools being low. Removed movement speed penalty on limb HP pools being low. Medical Pens will now fully heal players.

Feature Updates

Gameplay

  • Structural Salvage
    • Further UI and VFX Polish Pass. Use dissolve to fade out debris pieces before they are destroyed by disintegration. Adjusted the breaking force and the field size for the reclaimer (bigger). Add target distance bindings for salvage targets, relative to the field emitter point.
  • Further Mining Balance Pass

Bug Fixes

  • Put in further fixes to help resolve wheeled ground vehicles continuously vibrating when stationary on surfaces in gravity
  • Fixed visarea and lighting issues on freelancer cockpit and rear ramp
  • Fixed – Multivehicle – ASOP Retrieval – Various vehicles spawn with wings/engines/landing gear in their “in-flight” state instead of their “landed” state when retrieved from ASOP
  • Fixed – Drake Vulture – PU – Vehicles – Components – Paints / GFX – Lighting – When any non-default tint is applied to the Vulture, interior lights are reflected and obscure vision on the cockpit glass
  • Fixed – Stanton – ArcCorp – Area 18 / Riker Memorial Spaceport – Art / Locations – The entire “asphalt” surface at ground level is missing collision allowing players to go under the map

Technical

  • Fixed 2 Client Crashes
  • Fixed 2 Server Crashes

Arena Commander Updates

Gameplay Features

New Feature: Multicrew & Spawn Locations

  • Updating all maps to utilize a new Spawn Location system for spawn selection. This update enables the long-awaited introduction of Multicrew to Squadron Battle, Team Tank Battle, Free Flight, and Swarm Modes and expands them all to include a large variety of our crewable ships. Players have the ability to enable multicrew spawning on their selecting ships and other players in the match and on your team will have the ability select turret and crew positions.

In-Game Vehicle Selection

  • Gone are the days when forgetting to pick your vehicle before the game starts locked you into a fierce battle of cat and mouse. In-Game Vehicle Selection now allows you to pick which vehicle you want to use in-game and switch between respawns in all dogfighting modes. This includes a new “Slots” system allowing you to switch and customize between 4 vehicle slots. Arena Commander will also remember your selection between matches and per mode.
