Knights and mercs, we've been holding to our weekly map release schedule now for 18 weeks now and counting - but we're coming up on the full release, so why not hop-skip and pick up the pace? Today we have a second new map for the week, joining the proc-gen lists: Cyber Research Clinic. We've also polished up the animation back-and-forth that can occur between Overwatcher and attacker when counter-fire is invoked (your under Overwatch, try to attack, the Overwatcher misses, you shoot back!) and fixed a host of reported map bugs, improved some props (red couches!?) and more.

If you're enjoying the relentless pace that we are keeping to expand and improve the game, please take just a moment to leave a review. We need everyone and remember, you can always edit later.

Double Weekly Map: Cybernetic Research Site

Another week, two new maps!? Get it, choppa! Cybernetic Research Site is a large but highly compressed facility with maze-like hallways, offices and research areas. It will not be a place to take your Sniper but can be a playground for a fast and sneaky Vanguard or shotgun-toting Scourge.

Cybernetic Research Site can also feature a Gold Key (loot) and Blue Key (shortcut), depending on the objective and map setup.

The second map this week kicks the map total for proc-gen missions up to 31 and adds an additional +11 proc-gen combos. With this extra icing on top, we're now at 232 total combos, including a rapidly growing pool of maps that match with the newest objective types, including Exfiltrate, Infiltrate and Download, and Hardened Target.

We've just recently completed 3 new objective types (Exfiltrate, Infiltrate and Download, and Hardened Target), so we've turned the burning laser beam of focus back to weekly map releases for the moment. The next thing in objective land will be building out new premises for Contacts who are Compromised. Then we'll be switching back for a few final objective types before release to round out the set and really blow up the numbers!

Map and Prop Fixes

We've fixed a ton of reported map issues - thank you for your F10s! You can no longer walk through the couch lux couch props and a number of other props have had their colliders adjusted. Also, we keep working on enemy spawn positions to ensure they all have a clear physical reason - a door, elevator, ladder, etc - that can explain and pre-warn of their arrival point.

Thanks to everyone playing and posting F10s!
