Features- New venom cannon wargear for the warrior class, priced at 75 points. It has 40% less range, splash size and damage than the carnifex version, but fires 40% faster too. This involves new weapon models and new warrior animations. CC requested.
Balance- Buffed the spore mines rate of fire from 1.2 seconds per shot to 0.8.
- Nerfed the spore mine's damage from 50 to 40.
Bug fixes- Attempted to fix the HUD occasionally not highlighting the correct target objective. I don't know how to reporduce the old bug, but we should know soon enough if this fix has made it any worse.
- Attempted to fix the lictor cloak.
Next week i'll be tuning the new weapon combo, making turrets play idle sounds and working on an offline tutorial level for new players. I'm still looking for an artist to create 40k themed stained glass designed for EX's windows.
