new update added new classes and new weapons, added weapon customization and more progression.

is the game better for it? no not really.

weapon balancing is difficult apparently. so far with everything new its much harder than it should be to accomplish the basic gameplay of KILL BUGS.

im not certain what was actually changed in regards to the weapon stats but time to kill seems higher for every single enemy. i would really like to get NUMBERS rather than unmarked BAR GRAPHs for weapons screens. its hard to accurately campare weapons with bar graphs.

i do want to like this game and most of the mechanical changes for the classes work well, once their explaned. however the gunplay does not feel as good as it used too and it wasnt great to begin with.

old review:
fun enough and the large squad size is more interesting than most pve games. but there just isnt enough here.
major issues right now:
the sheer amount of debris that is thrown up in the standard firefight obscuring vision. this includes the massive blood geysers coming out of the bugs your shooting.
bullets do not come out of the gun your using but somewhere in your chest area during standard firing. this means that when in the buildible bunker you are likely to hit your cover even when the gun clears it.
its actually kind of hard to tag certain enemies because instead of just being near them you have to actually tag them and with how spindly some are its difficult. when a swarm is coming just tagging within a meter of them tagging the area their in.
while the progression model is very straightforward its a little dull. so far there isnt much to actually unlock but there doesnt seem to be much more to it than just level up get the next weapon. there is a quartermaster button that is blanked out which looks like it may be the premium shop but who knows. hopefully there is some attachments or adjustments you can put on your weapon to change its behavior to spice it up a little.
there seems to be only two maps. though both maps can be in either daytime or night.
its still early access i would wait a little while as there is less content here than darktide had at launch.
