[previewyoutube=mCy8TLGe6K8;full][/previewyoutube] [h1][b]THE GATLER[/b][/h1] An absolute monster of a turret with massive range. The Gatler takes a while to spin up, but once it gets going it turns into a deadly ammo eating bullet hose that can shred targets at a distance. Accuracy suffers at high fire rates. Has finite ammo and needs to periodically reload. The Gatler has a set of artifact mods that include multi-shot, penetrate, instant reload and freeze wave. [h3][b]NEW RANDOMIZED MAPS[/b][/h3] -CONDUIT: A huge map inspired by Chamber, with tantalizing routes on the sides forcing you to make some hard choices. -DIVERGENCE: A large map that focuses on bridge routing and double backing. -PLATFORM: A large square grid map that may seem simple at first, but will test your maze building prowess. [h3][b]NEW HAND BUILT MAPS[/b][/h3] -ANNEX: A nasty little map that appears trivial, but is surprisingly unwilling to give up space for maze construction. -EXCHANGE: A 2 level map that requires some real 4D thinking. -SPRINT: A simple direct line path with platforms dedicated to building the best kill-box ever! [h3][b]NEW TILES[/b][/h3] -NOXIOUS TILE: Creeps that trudge through this tile are probably calling in sick tomorrow. -SPARK TILE: Creeps that step on this tile are in for a shock. [h3][b]CONTROLLER MODE IMPROVEMENTS (Still experimental)[/b][/h3] -Controller mode has been changed to have 3 states (Full, Menu Only, Off). -Full mode allows you to select menu buttons with the D-pad, and to use A and B to place and deselect objects. -Menu Only mode forces the d-pad menu selection to stay active at all times (recommended for Steam Deck users). -Controller UI tweaks and improvements. [h3][b]MAPS CAN BE PLAYED IN ANY ORDER[/b][/h3] While the maps may say “locked” you may still play them if your are a glutton for punishment. Play at your own risk!
