Sideways Surge update 1.5 is out now, introducing a series of Variation changes, QoL updates and a new weapon because, hey, why not?
NEW WEAPON: DMR
The Designated Marksman Rifle has arrived as a new weapon that can be dropped by Sideways Soldiers. This is the only rifle of its kind, using a scope.
VARIATION CHANGES
Starting in 1.4, there is now a lot of variation in the monsters that can spawn. Soldiers and Brutes can spawn at any stage, and new variants have been added to both Survival and Hardcore, including poison gas, exploding and throwing variants.
SURVIVAL & HARDCORE MODE
Due to the variation changes, the game is now split into two stages: Survival and Hardcore. Survival is played up until a player reaches the legendary tier, and Hardcore plays from that point. This system replaces the Soldier/Brute system in place before.
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
Increased drop rate of Survival Loot [5% > 20%]
Increased drop rate of Hardcore Loot [10% > 15%]
Increased eliminations required for victory [150 > 250]
MORE CHANGES
Updated UI with unique icons and colours
Fixed lighting and map issues
String changed: [Brutes emerge from the shadows...] > [The darkness overwhelms you...]
That's all for today's update. Jump in and kick ass!
