Pinhead Adventures News

We are out for the holidays! Expect some news in the new years outlining the release of The Zino, until then, Merry Christmas!

General
Fixed some camera sequences playing on a save load
Fixed save issues related to large enemy nests
Fixed some instances of rubble saving incorrectly
Fixed the lights and doors for the SSS on Lil Green not turning in some situations
Fixed Bay Door health, 3000 to 500
Fixed socket puzzles shutting off if a hardlight cell is placed near it
Fixed Orbo being unable to present your stored upgrade kits in some situations at the Static Upgrade Stations
Adjusted the names and descriptions for some of the attachments

Reworked the Gun
Shooting the armor on enemies will now only stun for 2 seconds, was previously the same duration as the grapple stun.
Explosive shot explosions now deal 3x gun damage, was 2x (direct hit + explosion = 4x damage)
Kills with explosive shots will instantly refund 1 ammo back to the gun
Explosive shot main beams are now able to also fizzle enemies
When an enemy is fizzled by the explosive shot, the excess hardlight is channeled back into the gun, doubling the passive ammo recharge rate until the gun is fully recharged, or another shot is fired
The gun now has a 'Charged' and 'Depleted' State
When Charged, the gun will always charge to full ammo passively
When Depleted, the gun will ONLY charge to 1 ammo passively while NOT in combat
The gun will become Depleted if all ammo is fired, requiring a reload or fizzling an enemy with an explosive shot to become Charged again
