Agents,
Here comes the April balance patch (Ver. 0.31.0), containing various adjustments, improvements, and fixes–especially those reported by our Agents! After we deployed the “Party Up” patch last month, we have been reading all feedback and taking note of various playstyles, both singleplayer and multiplayer. Your feedback has been crucial for us to come up with many of the changes in this patch.
We continue to work towards our official launch next month, as well as keep listening to your suggestions and thoughts. Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts via the Steam discussion boards or our Discord server!
For the list of changes in this patch, please see below.
