1.41: Exploration and Parkour Puzzles!


Exploring for Rare Loot


This version taps into that fun feeling of discovery and exploration in GTA. You find a random staircase, climb onto a rooftop and discover a cool item as a reward for your efforts. Geneshift now does this with the addition of rare loot crates. These boxes glow in purple and contain extra valuable items such as superweapons, chemicals, $5000 perks, life fragments, etc. The megamap has been updated with over 50 spawn points where these rare loot crates might spawn. Each location has been designed as a puzzle, which requires some form of parkour to get to. In the screenshot below you can see a rare loot crate has spawned in a new balcony area. This balcony is too high up to access via normal jumping, and requires you to parkour your way up there, as shown with the arrows below. The idea with these puzzles is to provide players a change of pace from the fast-paced combat of Geneshift. They also make exploration more fun, and get you using your brain to solve puzzles in completely different ways.

Shifting Now Gives Critical Bullets


Everytime you shift there is now a brief window of time where your gun will fire critical bullets. You see an enemy, shift towards him, and then have 0.5s to fire off a few rounds with extra damage. This window of time is small, so you better make sure those critical bullets hit! Critical bullets deal +20% damage, which can be increased to +50% damage via looting ammo kits. Previously, critical bullets played a fairly small role in the game as they were only available as the final bullets in your magazine. But now they're relevant to every single fight as long as you have the quick aim and timing to use them effectively.
+50% damage is a lot! It can easily decide the winner of a fight. A well timed shift might give you the extra damage needed to secure the kill. But you might instead choose to save your shift so you can escape to safety at the last minute. By giving shifts both an offensive and defensive use, shifts are far more interesting to use. To offset this huge buff, shifts now regenerate a lot slower (once every 4 seconds). We're also capped at only max 3 shifts at a time - so use them wisely! It is possible to bring that max up to 5 shifts, but only if you find them in the purple rare crates mentioned above. Basically shifts are now a lot more powerful than before, but a lot rarer too - so use them wisely!

New Life Mechanics in Survival


A big issue with survival mode was how to cater to players of different skill levels. Generally it was too hard for newbies and far too easy for veterans. This has been solved with a whole new economy around lives. For starters, bots are a lot harder. More accurate, bigger guns, more skills, etc. There is also a minimum number of bots you must "assassinate" each round, to force players to take action and not hide on a rooftop somewhere. You're now going to be in a lot of tough fights, and are going to lose lives in the process. This keeps things far more engaging for skillful players.
To offset this increased difficulty there are new ways to gain back these lives. You can now buy them for $3000 at vendors, and you can find them in the new purple loot crates. Lives are now your main "resource" in the game, and you'll need to explore, farm cops, get sick combo kills to earn enough cash to buy the lives necessary to survive. There are additional incentives for skillful players to play their very best as well. If you manage to survive a round without losing a single life, a free supply drop will land next to you which gives bonus score and goodies. You can also SELL your lives for extra XP if you're feeling risky and don't think you'll die anyway.

Zombie Swarm


Survival also has a new zombie swarm stage that happens at the end of each round. After you kill all the players, zombies will respawn and swarm you with their meaty fists. This can be quite challenging, but really rewards skillful usage of area of effect skills and chemicals, because the combo-kill potential is insane.

Full Changelog


--- BIGGEST CHANGES --- - For a brief 0.5s after shifting, your gun will fire critical bullets. This gives shifts a new offensive usage and makes them worth saving up for tough encounters. - Added over 50 secret loot areas to the megamap. These loot areas will occassionally spawn a RARE crate with expensive loot. However, they are often hidden or require you to figure out a jumping puzzle to get them. - If you avoid losing a life within a survival round, a bonus supply drop will land next to you at the end of the round - Survival mode is quite a bit harder, but you can now buy extra lives from vendors for $3000 - In survival mode you now have the ability to SELL lives from vendors for 300xp per heart - Bots no longer respawn as zombies in survival mode, but instead will spawn as a special "zombie swarm" at the end of each round --- OTHER CHANGES --- - Rare loot crates are hidden in hard to reach places and will drop one of the following: A) 2 quarter hearts B) A random perk C) $2000 in cash D) 10 xp vials E) A chemical F) A tier 2 weapon G) A crate full of 4x nades - Survival mode now requires you to assassinate 8/12/16/20 targets each round (randomly chosen enemy players) - These targets show with a little crosshair above their healthbar, and will not be attacked by other bots - ensuring you MUST fight and not camp till the final showdown - One of these targets will be a primary target with an arrow pointing towards him. Killing this guy gives $1000 bonus bounty - Supply Drops now give +10 score instead of +5 score in survival mode - At the end of each survival round you will gain bonus cash based on how many lives you lost - Nades now cost $500 instead of $300, and lob slightly faster in the air - Capped the amount of money from a kill combo at $2000 per kill (won't affect civs at all, but prevents broken amounts of cash from player kills) - Fixed a bunch of bugs with AI - Superweapons now cost $15000 instead of $10000 - Shifts are now considered a rare loot type, only showing in the special purple loot boxes - Max number of shifts is now 5 instead of 8 - Warp Fields now passively increase shift regen rate by 50% each, instead of giving +2 max shifts - Cooldown time between shifts is now 0.65s instead of 1.0s - Shifts take 4.0s to regen instead of 3.0s - Survival mode lets you collect up to 8 lives instead of 5, and you start with 4 instead of 3 - Civ vendors now have 300hp instead of 500hp - Civs no longer spawn in survival once the timer hits 0, to prevent infinite civ farming - Changed the sound effect and reduced the duration of losing a life - In survival mode it is now possible to get quarter hearts from looting crates - The option to pay off cop bounty is now in a dedicated 6th slot in the buy menu, and doesn't replace the 5th slot - Losing a life in survival mode no longer removes your unfinished life quarters - Some cool map changes made by player GelatinOverlord, mostly own the bottom right of the map, adding some much needed gameplay and graphical improvements. Thanks! - Bots in coop survival mode squad together tighter, making them harder to take down - Survival bot hitpoints increases by +25 each round - Nerfed BT slowdown to 25/20/15/10% - Nerfed MP5 recoil a touch - You now lose 2 score whenever you die in survival - Sonar Cells reveal range is now 40m isntead of 30m - Fixed a bug where bots wouldn't look at mirror image - Xray vision now reveals loot crates - Shifts now look cooler, leaving a little blue trail behind them - Deagle damage is now 20 instead of 17, with a rpm of 240 instead of 300 - All guns now start at +20% critical damage instead of +50%, and go up to +50% instead of +100%. This is to offset the increased frequency you can use them now via shifting. - Plenty of bug fixes

Merry Christmas


And a happy new year! Have fun! bencelot
