New Game Mode, Weapons, Skills & Mechanics! This update is our release candidate and brings you every feature we still had up our sleeves.

• New Weapon: Plasma Beam
• New Weapon: Grenade Launcher
• New Skill: Cloak
• New Skill: Speed Boost
• New Skill: Teleport > A great defensive trick, but beware, you have no control over where you'll end up!
• New Skill: Heal Wave > Repair your teammates' broken bots

This is just a tiny update but a big one is in the works and will be live soon!

• Added damage to Shockwave skill based on enemy proximity
• Drastically decreased the build size to roughly 370mb (down from 1.7Gb)
• Fixed an issue that would cause bot speed to be dependent on FPS

A small patch that fixes an issue with online multiplayer games.

• Fixed an issue that would cause AI to get stuck and all bots to explode every 15 seconds. Woops :)

This update is a complete rework of the malfunctions mechanic. We removed most of the randomness and are giving the power back to the player. It's now up to you to cause negative malfunctions on enemies or positive effects on your teammates.

• Players now have a malfunction gun. Charge it up by killing enemies and completing objectives. When fully charged, shooting an enemy will give them a negative malfunction while shooting a friendly player will result in a positive malfunction.
• Malfunctions now spread like a virus. Get close to positive malfunctions to get a piece of the action, but steer away from negative malfunctions!
• Malfunctions have a better visual effect to distinguish positive (blue) from negative (red) effects.
• Match time reduced to 5 minutes (from 10). We also introduced new leaderboards to keep things fair (but kept the old ones for bragging rights).

We are working hard on pushing out a larger update asap. In the meantime, here is a small visual update:

• Changed the malfunction screen distortion effect to only affect the sides of the screen and leave the center fairly intact. It should now be a lot easier to see what is going on during a malfunction.
• Malfunctioning bots now have a clear visual trail effect.
• Fixed a bug that would make additional controllers lose focus after pressing 'start' to join the game.
• Fixed a bug that would cause the game to crash after reaching the menu on 32 bit systems.

• Bugfix: fixed an issue where a lot of bullets firing at the same time would make all audio cut out

We have implemented some fixes to the AI after receiving player feedback during our first day on Steam. Here is a list of changes:

• AI : Bots will now avoid dynamically placed objects such as turrets, generators and other bots and have a lot less tendency to get stuck. We will continue to improve on this.
• AI : In Capture The Flag, AI bots carrying the flag will no longer seek out the enemy flag carrier. Instead they will always return to their base to cap the flag.
• Small improvements to Russian localization
