Ready to try out some new Abilities and a shiny new weapon? We sure hope so, because we've got some new toys ready for you this week!

The headline of this update is definitely the Surgical Laser weapon; with a constant beam of energy (with burning effects) as the primary, and a powerful charge-up blast for the secondary, it's a powerful new addition to your arsenal!

We've also added 2 more Abilities, which happen to be the top-tier Abilities to the existing skill tree. Flurry provides a significant damage and attack speed boost on demand, and Conversion allows your to convert an enemy to your side and turn on their allies! Both very powerful abilities which we hope you have fun with.

As usual we've got a host of bug fixes alongside the new content; find more details on those below. Have fun, and let us know your feedback in the discussions!
