This week's update temporarily plugs the new parts valve to add a special mission to the Millennium Horizon Campaign. The Forest Settlement is a new urban environment with an optional objective to destroy all Millennium Company Granvirs. Clearing the area will greatly improve the rest area by removing shop access cost and tripling the amount of parts for sale. A large credit reward is also provided to assist with the upcoming shopping spree.

2.27.0

• Added a new special region to Millennium Horizon. The Forest Settlement is an urban map where if all Millennium Company Granvirs are destroyed, the rest area shops will have reduced access times and far larger inventory than normal.

• Added a custom difficulty setting for disabling fog of war. Disabling fog of war increases enemy detection range by 50% over their visibility range stat. Enemies will more slowly detect targets beyond their unmodified visibility range.

• Parts that have not been added to the codex will appear with "Undiscovered" in their description.

• Added the RH03 Danteleis continuous boost to the RH04 Isseleis instead of the standard dash.

• Changed the lightweight part enhancement to only apply to legs and torsos.

• Builds with slow resistance will decrease the slowing effect of knocking down trees.

• Adjusted the tall coastline trees to be toppleable with a powerful slowing effect.

• Adjusted the continue campaign button to always be visible and display a message indicating that no save exists when the campaign cannot be continued.

• Relabeled the start campaign button to "Select Campaign".

• Fixed certain melee weapons attacking in the wrong direction when held in the left hand.

• Fixed control group toggle settings not saving properly.

• Fixed control groups on parts that were never equipped defaulting to weird values when equipped after loading a save. This fix only applies to saves created after this update.

• Fixed shields taking damage in the testing grounds from AoE attacks.

This week's update smooths out some bumps created by the addition of first person mode. The highly requested leg facing indicator has been added to the HUD to help you keep track of where you are pointing when you can't see your legs. Low tier radar modules have also been added to many of the starting loadouts with torsos capable of installing them to give first person focused players an option to stay aware of their surroundings.

2.26.0

• Added the HK Browen and HK Stellad series light and heavy machine guns to all tiers. These are high firerate high capacity one and two handed rifles. The lighter Browen series can be held in one hand by most armatures but are more accurate when held in two. The heavier Stellad series is more accurate but requires a strong arm to be held in on hand and suffers a greater accuracy penalty for doing so.

• Added a HUD orientation indicator. The indicator is only visible in first person by default but can be enabled all the time or disabled in the settings.

• Added an accuracy stat to ranged weapons. The accuracy stat represents a range where all shots are likely to hit an enemy Granvir.

• Increased the DPS and DPA of heavy one-handed weapons (weapons that require a medium strength armature to hold in one hand and must be raised to fire in one-hand) by 20%.

• Reclassed the BQ01 and BQ02 Sluggs into heavy one-handed weapons.

• Added an extra item to all supply pods in all campaigns.

• Added a supply pod to each mission in Millennium Front.

• Added a setting for disabling the deploy confirmation.

• Added a custom difficulty option to sandbox.

• Adjusted vital destruction tooltips to display their effect instead of their name.

• Added radar modules to the starting loadout options for many pilots.

• Increased the size of the sandbox arena.

• Fixed the buttons in the control menu not staying visible in the scroll view when selected with controller.

• Fixed being able to navigate off the controls menu in the mech builder when using controller.

• Fixed issues caused by losing a beam cannon while firing or exiting the testing grounds in multiplayer.

• Fixed the parrying sword grip adjusting while parrying.
