Balance[edit]

Defender:

  • Cost 120 → 100 (was 80 previously)

New unit: Limpet, an Amphibious Bomb. Unlike other bombs this unit does not cloak (in any case, cloak is disabled underwater). It has higher health and a large range to compensate.

  • Cost: 180
  • Health: 400
  • Speed: 117 e/s
  • Damage: 150 normal, 1500 slow. Maximum slow persists for up to 5 seconds.
  • Damage radius: 250

Reef:

  • Cost: 3500 → 3000

Reef's tacnuke replaced with disarm missile:

  • Cost 600 → 150
  • Stockpile time 60 → 30
  • Damage: 15000 disarm for a maximum of 10 seconds
  • Range: 3000
  • Damage radius: 140

Ronin:

  • Health: 3000 → 2500
  • Reload time: 4 → 5 (Effective DPS 150 → 120)
  • Weapon velocity: 400 → 350
  • Turret traverse rate 150 → 50

Siren:

  • Sonic gun range: 380 → 340

Shogun:

  • Cost: 3800 → 4000

Moderator:

  • Maximum slow persists for up to 2 seconds.

Claymore:

  • Health 1350 → 1650
  • Projectile is planted for two seconds before moving (in sea) or exploding (on land).

SLAM rocket:

  • Cost 200 → 150m

Gauss turret:

  • No longer overshoots.
  • Reduced projectile speed by 45%.

Zombies are no longer immune to slow damage. The 50% zombie slowdown is applied independently so now slow damage against zombies can cause them to move at 25% the speed of a normal unit.

Behavior[edit]

  • Claymore tactical AI now runs away whenever it fires.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented Reef and Bantha from moving close enough to their target.
  • Units moving in groups now clump less at their destination.
