Update 2.56.0: Manual Aim Improvements and Dodging Enemies

This week's update makes a subtle change to the functionality of manual aim. When aiming to the side of a target but not directly at them, your Granvir will now target that space beside them, instead of whatever else may be under the crosshair. This should help alleviate difficulties in aiming due to the offset camera angle of third person mode. Additionally, all perspectives can now adjust for high projectile drop and extreme aim sway without aiming off-target and greatly increasing targeting bloom.

New enemy behavior has also been added to improve the defensive capabilities of higher tier threats. Certain elite and boss Granvir will now attempt to evade projectiles if they have the time to move out of the way. This primarily impacts long range attacks where travel time is far greater than reaction time and the time it takes to move out of the way.

2.56.0

Major Features

• Added a targeting backboard to manual aim. The backboard allows your target point to be in the space next to the enemy closest to your crosshair instead of on the terrain behind the target. This should facilitate leading shots, adjusting for drop and compensating for aim sway.
• Added new dodge behavior of varying quality to enemy Marksmen, Aces, Squadrons and Super Weapon 01. These enemies will attempt to move out of the way from projectiles if they have enough time to do so.

Minor Features

• Added the MT Rapture series of side cannons to all tiers. The Rapture fires slow and lightly arcing projectiles with a large blast radius.
• Added the CL Skipper series of two-handed firearms to all tiers. The Skipper fires slow and lightly arcing projectiles with a large blast radius.
• Added the ZM01 Dirge a two-handed firearm to tier 4. The Dirge rapidly fires slow and lightly arcing projectiles with a large blast radius.
• Added the DN Breeze series twin back module to tier 3 and 4. The Breeze massively boosts cooling rate and heat capacity while slightly increasing active cooling rate.
• Added the RT Rat series biped legs to tier 3 and 4. The Rat legs have extra armor, a long dash and a large integrated munitions feed expansion.
• Increased the durability of the grappling claymore enemy Granvir and painted him red.
• Adjusted item pickup to only consider target point for item prioritization and not pickup ability.
• Increased the range of the camera offset slider now that the manual aim system better accommodates camera offset.

Fixes

• Fixed certain settlement buildings missing collision.
