Major Updates: Automatons Getting Smarter, and You, Deadlier!

AI Improvements: Those Robots Are Thinking Even Faster!

Arrowhead has turned the AI processing cranked up, which means those annoying Automatons are now responding faster, particularly when they’re attacking you in a swarm. They’ll be a pain in the neck now.
Essentially, they’re not so distracted with each other anymore, so they’ll be like white on rice on you.
However, here’s a caveat. All the extra thinking results in a modest performance penalty. Therefore, expect to notice your framerate taking a little hit whenever things get especially crazy.

Stratagem Loadouts: Long Overdue Organizational Improvements

The stratagem menu’s been overhauled! Forget digging through big piles of cluttered options anymore; they’re now nicely categorized. Amen to that!
Weapon and Stratagem Rebalancing: Pew Pew Upgraded!

Primary Weapon Buffs: Bang for Your Buck!

A whole bunch of weapons received damage increases, such as the AR-23 Liberator and the STA-52 Assault Rifle, and several others. It’s as if they heard us screaming for more firepower!
The SMG-32 Reprimand and SG-8S Slugger received spread reductions, so they’re more accurate now.
The R-63 Diligence received increased magazine capacity.
The R-36 Eruptor now has improved armor penetration.

Stratagem Upgrades: Eagle Strikes and Exosuits!

Eagle 110MM Rocket Pods, and both Exosuits now have additional uses. Who doesn’t enjoy more explosions?
The TX-41 Sterilizer received an ergonomics upgrade.
The M-105 Stalwart  and MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun both received damage and armor penetration upgrades.

Enemy Updates: They’re Adapting!

Automaton Dropships: Harder Than Ever!

Those dropships received a serious health upgrade. They’re much more difficult to destroy now.
The Automaton AI is no longer distracted by one another.
Illuminate Shields: Mid-Flight Defense!
Illuminate Warp Ships now cast shields mid-flight.

Barrager Tank Turret Fixes:

The Barrager Tank Turret now properly has the correct armor value, and weak spots.
New Warbond: Borderline Justice – Space Cowboy Style!

The Theme: Space Cowboys in Space!

Prepare to appear like a space-faring gunslinger with the new “Borderline Justice” Warbond.

New Weapons: Lever-Action and Revolvers!

The R-6 Deadeye lever-action hunting rifle, LAS-58 Talon “revolver” secondary, and the TED-63 Dynamite will provide some wild west justice for the galaxy.

New Armor: Space Cowboy Chic!

The GS-17 Frontier Marshal and GS-66 Lawmaker armor sets will make you the galaxy’s toughest sheriff-lookin’ guy.
The Gunslinger armor passive is a wonderful addition to secondary guns.

Galactic War Update:

The Illuminate are sending a black hole towards Super Earth. What happens next? We don’t know, but it’s gonna be crazy!
