Scouts!

Last time we reshaped Lumencrafts gameplay by turning the experimental update into the mighty Giga Update that ended up as a really important part of the games Early Access build.

Now its time for something different, but were sure that youll "feel" the changes instantly - a few of them refer to the way of defending your base.

[h2]1 First stop: turrets! [/h2]

Machine Gun Turrets get a two times damage upgrade and an extra anti-air 2x damage upgrade. It means that these ones will be even more deadly than before. Just see how quicker they deal with the swarm in the GIF below.



Sniper Turrets get critical change and fire rate upgrades. If you complained about them, you probably wont do that again.

Yes, we also changed the Bomb Turrets - cluster granade are providing two bombs after the explosion, but he maximum is 4 bombs exploding at once.

Watch out! Explosions now deal 50% less damage to flying enemies, which means that Machine Gun and Flamethrower are still great for you to pick up.

[h2]2 Second stop: Walls![/h2]

Theres a new upgrade of the Walls available - it will slow down flying enemies. It truly is a gamechanger - as you know, every second counts when they start to penetrate the base.



[h2]3 Third stop: co-op![/h2]
Dead co-op players now only drop items when you fail to revive them in time. Does it mean that playing in co-op will be easier? It depends on the situation youre dealing with.

[h2] The last stop: everything else. [/h2]
Just look at the full list of changes posted below.
