• More improvements to the Twitter bot https://twitter.com/DxRandoActivity
  • Make sure you have Online Features set to All Enabled in the New Game menu because it's disabled by default
• Minor fix for Howard Strong so he doesn't get in fights with the other enemies
• Minor fix for Lay D Denton support to remove Paul's first dialog so you don't get the free weapon, and prevents an issue with Paul's dialog inside UNATCO HQ after that.
• Adjust the rates for melee weapons so now combat knives are the most common and swords are the least common.

Co-op Teaser

Changes

• Death Markers - see where other players have died!
  

• New Enemy Shuffling option, defaults to 100%, means enemies will be swapped around on the map, so you might see a different enemy than expected patrolling in front of the Statue of Liberty!

• Experimental options for NanoKey and Datacube locations in the Advanced settings page, enabling them to be swapped with containers too.

• Rebalanced Environmental skill. Level 1 now gives less passive damage resistance, and can sometimes even give you negative passive damage resistance so environmental damage will hurt you even more!

• Improvements to skill/augmentation descriptions. Now randomizer adds to the top of the description instead of the bottom, and some descriptions are a bit neater.
  

• Improved NanoKey randomization for 03_NYC_Airfield (issue #230)

• Fixed a possible crash in mission 14 (issue #224)

• Increased accuracy for human civilians and thugs, but they're still less accurate than military.

Co-op Teaser

Changes

Reorganized Advanced menu into groups (expand for screenshots)

• We've renamed the difficulty choices to more accurately reflect how difficulty this game actually is. Easy is now Normal, Normal is now Hard, Hard is now Extreme, and Extreme is now Impossible. We also slightly increased the skill costs for the new lowest difficulty (Normal).

• Death Screen hints - these are somewhat case sensitive, depending on what level you're in and what settings you're using. Check here for the full list of hints in the code.
  

• Randomized Medbot healing amounts, Repair Bot recharge amounts, and also their cooldowns
  

• Added Remove Aug button to Medbots
  

• Options for limited-use Medbots and Repair Bots (Extreme difficulty sets this to 3, Impossible difficulty sets it to 1)
  

• Augmenation cannisters now show what augs they have in their name
  

• Big buffs to vision enhancement aug and tech goggles. You can now see through walls even with just level 1 or the goggles. They also stack, so you can see farther with more goggles + the aug. Vision level 2 and higher allow you to see more things through walls, such as inventory items, electronic devices, and containers.
  
  

• Goal location randomization added to HX co-op

• Added another goal location for mission 11 (issue #202). Check the amazing new wiki page for Goal Randomization!

• Mission 9 weld points are now tracked in your Goals screen

• Tweaks to goals carrying over across missions

• Reduced The Merchant's prices

• Emergency Le Merchant (totally not the same guy as The Merchant) added to Paris just in case you really need a hazmat suit. You can kill him if you don't have the money, but he will defend himself.

• Fast forwarding infolinks when they stack up

• Removed some obsolete infolinks on Liberty Island

• Fixed an alliance trigger bug in mission 6 (issue #208)

• Minor bugs with passwords (issues #200 and #201)

• Minor fix for mission 14 goal location randomization bug (issue #196)

• Fix for possible large crates blocking your path in mission 9 (issue #193)
