New Features

Striving for Light: Survival is now Steam Deck Verified!

New Weapon Stats

New weapons stats have been added to diversify weapon choices. These are mainly applied to all "weaker" weapons to make them a valid choice depending on your build even after new weapons are unlocked. Following stats have been added to the weapons to make weapon choice more interesting and diverse:

• Life Leech
• Max HP
• Critical Hit Chance
• Critical Hit Damage
• Movement Speed
• Collect Range
• Additional Projectiles
• Additional Projectile Multiplicator
• Condition Damage
• Companion Damage
• AoE Size Increase

The weapon stat tooltips are now also dynamic in size and got an updated frame design.
All new weapon stats are listed in the balancing section below.

Extended Twitch Livestream Integration

In the main menu there is now a new twitch icon. Whenever you enter the main menu it will be checked if there are current livestreams on twitch in the Striving for Light Categories. The number of online channels will be displayed along a red dot if there are some. Clicking on the twitch icon will open up a livestream browser giving you more information about the current live stream options. You can quickly jump to a livestream by clicking the twitch icon on the channel entry. We hope that this feature helps further connecting the community. Here is how it will look with a testing category:
