Seeking to increase the options and variety of implants available, we’ve gone ahead and added 7 new implants for the battlefield. Check them out below!
New Implants
- Take a Walk
- Your movement is not impeded when underwater. Weapon behavior is unchanged. MAX units can equip.
- Juggernaut
- Melee attacks knock enemies away a short distance. MAX only.
- Living on the Edge
- When your health drops below 20% your accuracy increases by 5/7/10/12/15% for 5/5/7/10/12 seconds.
- Rapid Response
- While wielding a beneficial construction module your sprint speed is increased by 7/10/13/15/15%. At max rank, the unequip times of beneficial construction modules is reduced by 50%.
- Air Drop
- Upon exiting a vehicle Jump Jet recharge rate is increased by 7/7/7/7/10% for 5/7/8.5/10/12 seconds. 20 second cooldown after triggering. Light Assault only.
- Karma
- Each time you revive an ally a charge is added to Karma. At 30/27/24/20/20 charges, your next death allows you to self-revive once at 50/50/50/50/100% health. Redeploying or using an equipment terminal will wipe your current progress. Combat Medic only.
- Overcharge
- While overshield is active your primary weapon’s bullets will now pierce through one infantry target before stopping at the cost of 30/25/20/15/15% of your overshield uptime. Heavy Assault only. At max rank, this will also affect the bullets of secondary weapons.
UI Changes
- Added ability to toggle off HUD Indicator Waypoints.
- Added ability to toggle off HUD Indicator Nameplates.
- Added terminal icons to deployment interface for construction bases.
Bug Fixes
- Mining and depositing cortium will again provide experience.
- Oshur meltdown alert should no longer be able to start while the continent is locked.
- NS-D Helios will correctly play its reload animation in first person when switching to alternate fire mode with under 50 ammo in the magazine.
- Fix for intermittent flicker on certain shield shaders.
Rapid Response
I see no reason someone should use this implant for running modules. If someone cares about speed it is better to use ambusher JJs + adrenaline pump.
As I understand, sprint speed does not stack from multiple sources anyways. You can’t pair rapid response with other implants or adrenaline pump. You only receive the sprint speed bonus from the highest effect.
I think it’s cool they’re adding new things but I take issue with the underwater and rapid response ones. If you have to add an implant to make an aspect of the game enjoyable, just make that aspect more enjoyable in the first place and nix the implant.
I feel the same way about the underwater mobility scooter and underwater weapons. I don’t want to have a loadout specifically for underwater combat. Just let me use my regular ones.Air drop is just for bail assaults? Not sure why that “playstyle” needs any extension.
Karma is just Phylactery 2.0? The amounts are way too high though.
The other ones don’t look too interesting.
More UI customisability is very welcome IMHO!
