I think y'all are going to really like this one! This update has been months in the making, with updates to many of Black Ice's core systems, a ton of added content, and literally too many bug fixes to list. Let's get into it!

Major Features

• World Overhaul - The world is now hand-crafted, with lots of verticality, secrets to find, and lots more fun areas to kill things in. More details in the patch preview.
• Arena Servers - Two boss arenas in which you must fight *inside* the server! More to come!
• Drastically Enhanced Mobility - Double Jumps are now standard, and you can grab ledges and climb up on anything!
• AI Update - The AI have never been better at climbing, chasing, jumping, and hunting you down.
• UI Overhaul - The UI is in the process of being completely redone, by a real artist instead of me this time!
• Powerups! - The world now has fun little powerups or items to discover, including a 2-minute movespeed buff, items, and XP!
• Controller Vibration
• When multihacking, enemies can kill each other and level up, retaining XP
• Motion Blur - try turning this to about 8 (or max!) in video options. Off by default.
• Ranged enemies try to hide after firing
• Melee enemies try to flank
• Enemies can be seen through walls after a hack is completed
• Increased the number of supported controllers
• Aim Assist is drastically enhanced
• Tutorial Overhaul
• Added Triple Jump unique
• Lots of little visual updates!

Changes

• The player now automatically gets +5% damage per level (up to level 50)
• The Damage Returned perk now also increased DR range
• Hack Links are no longer visible except for Lasbreakers (to account for the new terrain)
• Leveling is faster! Talents are twice as effective, but the limit is now at 50 points
• Condensed talent list to six options (much less confusing for new players)
• Aimbot projectile slowed to encourage dodging
• Reduced Aimbot and Scorporation damage
• All icebreakers have longer range
• Homing is drastically enhanced
• Reduced the number of affixes per rarity on items (so each feels more unique)
• Reduced the number of items dropped by dropping XP instead of a third item
• Shotguns fire more projectiles
• Shotguns and Snipers are now slower and have an attack speed cap (making them feel more like shotguns and snipers)
• Shotguns now have damage falloff, but do much more damage at close range
• Rocket splash radius increased to 2m
• Normal lasers are now sometimes Orange, green, purple, and blue, in addition to red
• Teleport items no longer go through buildings, but can still go through enemies/players
• Teleport visual upgrades (which are disabled during Photosensitive mode for those who get motion sick)
• Servers stay solid after hacking (so you can still climb on them!)
• Added a few new random hacker names
• Piercing projectiles now only go through enemies but not walls (except for railguns, for now)
• Enemies will respawn if they get stuck
• Knockback effects on the player have been reduced (to prevent the player from clipping through some walls)
• Loot now drops toward the player
• Other minor balance changes

Fixes

• Multiplayer stability improvements
• Aimbots can now properly fire all machine gun / sniper / weapon projectile types
• Hardcore mode should function properly
• Disco Deathball now syncs properly in multiplayer
• Holding tab in a multiplayer game now properly pauses all items
• Monitor resolution should make more sense
• Toggle sprint option works a lot better now
• Music now properly resets on death and going to the main menu
• Loot cubes from shops and missiles from shotguns are no longer deafening
• Many more!

• The SHARK is on a vacation, but will return!
