Hello, Runners, we have been silent for too long, but rest assured we were hard at work to bring you another set of small tweaks, changes, ahh hahaha just kidding!
We're bringing you the super, ultra cool [b]MEGA UPDATE[/b]! That's right. This time we mean business!

Members of our community wanted more variety from the start of the game and more evolving gameplay. On that end, we are introducing a new Primary weapon locker system.
Weapon lockers spawn at the start of new environments and enable you to switch up your primary weapons to something that better suits you. To keep it fresh we randomized what weapons you can get in each locker to make each run a bit different!

We also wanted to give you some more choices in build varieties so we are introducing 4 new perks that put more emphasis on shooting. We love the melee mechanic in our game but we felt that there weren't enough perk options for guns.
One of the biggest features of this updates is the update of our characters visuals and animations. We felt that the looks of our characters didn't do justice to the legends they are. They were our heroes as we were growing up, so we wanted to show them some much-deserved love, with our own personal touch.
