PS4/X1 Update 1.6
30-11-2016

NEW character: Ix the Interloper
Ix was a courageous Luxuxi spirit who peacefully roamed the crystal moon of Luxor, until a disaster struck. Intergalactic megacorporations started to drill Luxor on a massive scale, as it housed unusually energetic crystals. At first Ix tried to ‘discourage’ the miners in various ways, which had no effect. In an outrage Ix merged its life force with some high-energy crystals; giving Ix a corporeal form. Harnessing the energies of this new crystalline body, Ix razed the facility to the ground. Blabl Zork got wind of this raw talent for drill destruction. He then convinced Ix to join the Awesomenauts by presenting the mercenary team as an environmental force for good.
This is a FREE new character!

NEW premium skin: Steel Seraph Ix
As angels are usually peaceful and quite focused on their herbal infusions, the Heavens did little more than weep as soulless robots and demonic mercenaries slowly spread across the galaxy. However, one of these angels could no longer stand idly by and decided that the time had come to intervene in the realm of mortals. Turning the weapons of the robotic overlords against themselves, this angel became an armored being of high-tech destruction. Now this fusion-powered, nano-enhanced, tungsten-plated angel is feared across the galaxy. In their frightened whispers its adversaries call this mysterious being 'the Steel Seraph'.
This is a paid DLC and comes with a fully customized voice set!

NEW premium skin: Bravely Scoop IV: Eternal Fantasy
A hero's journey is filled with many great challenges. Like saving the townsfolk from a mysterious invading army from another dimension, that's headed up by a hooded figure who's actually being manipulated by an otherworldly dragon who'll morph into a demon when close to being defeated. It's all in a day's work for Bravely Scoop in Bravely Scoop IV: Eternal Fantasy!
This is a paid DLC and comes with a fully customized voice set!

Assists
-Changed how kills are credited by the game. Before when a turret or droid made the last hit against a naut it would be credited with the kill on the scoreboard. The solar reward for the kill would either be given to the last naut that did damage in the last second or else it was split among the entire enemy team. With this change the kill will now be credited to the last naut that did damage in the last second. This is purely a change in how the scoreboard counts kills.
-Added assist counters to the scoreboard. Whenever a naut dies it will give an assist to all enemy nauts that directly affected the killed naut in the last 5 seconds or supported an ally that directly affected the killed naut. All forms of damage or negative modifiers directly done against the naut will count towards an assist. All forms of healing or buffs to allies that directly affected the killed naut also count as an assist.

Xbox One
-Fixed that the “Bionic Family” achievement could not be unlocked. (fixed via a server-side update on September 23rd).
-Fixed that the “No Holograms in the Band Achievement” was unachievable
-Fixed incorrect counting for the Swimming in Solar achievements. Solar should now be counted correctly. Overall progress should be significantly faster.
-Improved feedback in the leaderboards screen, making it more clear that missing information in the leaderboard is due to a user’s privacy settings.
-The game will no longer freeze when another player disconnects from the match.
-Prevented a rare crash when network issues occur while searching for an online match.

Playstation 4
-Fixed that some music didn’t loop.
-Fixed that Chucho’s motorcycle’s flying sound didn’t loop.
-Fixed that the Anniversary event didn’t coincide with the PS4 launch date
-Fixed that new users would appear in the leaderboards with 0 games played

UI
-The indicators for the amplify damage, stun, speedup, snare, slow, silence, invulnerability, weakness, empower and blind status effects have been overhauled so these indicators no longer overlap and to make them easier to check during gameplay.
-Scaled down the reconnection symbol.
-Restored the dark background of the HUD’s healthbar at the bottom of the screen.

Menus
-Updated the visuals of the main menu.
-The scrollbar of the announcer select screen no longer appears over popups
-Increased the width of the left column in the configure controls screen to that it is wide enough for all languages.
-Removed the duplicate “Confirm” in the legend at the bottom of the screen in the announcer select screen while in-game.
-Increased the font size in character select for better readability.
-Aligned all Russian text properly.
-Moved the loading circle in character select when locking in a character further down.

Tutorial
-Tutorial map, fixed collision near enemy base
-Made the enemy merc in the tutorial intro cutscene visible.
-Made sure the tutorial popups would no longer fall behind HUD elements.
-Replaced all Lonestar visuals in the tutorial with the new Lonestar visual.
-Removed character level from the character name in the tutorial messages.

General gameplay
-Changed the visual appearance of the Blind status effect.
-Fixed issue between enemy and allied droids. Previously when opposing droids would move up or down a ledge at the same time they would jump over each other and idle until one of the droids was destroyed. Now droids that jump over each other will turn back and fight each other instead of idling.
-Removed bots for Ted McPain and Skolldir from the game since they were doing way worse than all other bots. If someone makes a better version of these bots we’d be happy to bring them back at a later point.
-Fixed that certain effects would partially update while reconnecting. This would cause bugs like Nibbs being able to move during Flame Breath when she was reconnecting at some point during the Flame Breath.
-Fixed a lot of rounding errors in tooltip percentages
-Sawblade droids will now walk back and drop down when getting stuck on top of the enemy base.
-Fixed that in very rare cases turrets could start with almost no health, or regain their health on host migration.
-Fixed an issue where health generated by Wraithstone would not be accurately displayed in the tooltip
-The “Awesomenauts, roll out!” achievement will now unlock properly after three characters are unlocked, instead of at the end of your first match. Players who have already unlocked this achievement won’t lose it again.

Custom Games
-Added two more custom game options: a multiplier for passive health regen (which can also be negative) and shop healing.
-Increased the size of the randomnauts item popup - it should fit all of the item descriptions now.
-Fixed issue where damage after the original naut died would always be base damage. This was only the case when playing a game mode with “random naut on death” active.
-Made shop available anywhere by default in the Randomnauts and Random Team Deathmatch modes so it is easier for players to check which upgrades they have received.
-The number of active droids per team is now limited to 48 to prevent performance problems in some special cases. Normally, if the limit is exceeded, no new droids will spawn, but if ‘enable base’ is unchecked in custom game settings, the oldest droids will be blown up to make room for the new ones (since they’re probably just hacking away at the enemy base to no avail, having fulfilled their goal in life).

General balance
-Increased starting solar from 235 to 270
-Reduced added Solar of Piggy Bank from 130 to 100
-Solar Krab Burgers, heal per coin reduced from 70 to 65
-Droids give 4% more XP per level, making it easier for the team that’s behind to catch up

AI station 404 map
-Creeps can now jump a little bit higher.

Sorona map
-Moved the glass platforms directly behind the front turrets up a bit so some characters can make the jump now from the glass platforms to the jungle area.
-Fixed an instance where the droppod’s glow would be in front of the asteroids while falling down on the Sorona map.
-Fixed depths on both Sorona and Starstorm Station, making all foreground elements consistent with the other maps.

Starstorm map
-Fixed a visual bug near the bottom lane turrets on the starstorm map that caused them to clip through the level art.
-Adjusted the platforms in the middle of the bottom lane to make fights in the area more dynamic.
-Fixed the starstorm minimap visual to now correctly represent the map.
-Fixed depths on both Sorona and Starstorm Station, making all foreground elements consistent with the other maps.
-Fixed an issue where on the Starstorm map some characters acted glitchy on the glass platform in front of the bottom front turret.

Baby Kuri Mammoth
As every Awesomenaut now has access to this item and it’s still fairly weak, this is the time to give it a little buff
-Baby Kuri Mammoth, effect increased from 25% to 30% debuff reduction

Image
Ayla
-Made Augmented Ayla’s Rage ball a bit more transparent.
-Changed camera style from vertical deadzone to centered when Ayla is in Rage mode.
-Fixed an issue where Ayla would stay enraged when she was made invisible by Vinnie’s cloud.
-Added a subtle visual overlay when Ayla’s Fiery Jawbreakers item was in effect.
-Fixed that she goes into stealth while using Rage. Picking up the Stealth orb still stops Rage.
Some slight nerfs and diversity tweaks
-Biter Mask, slowing power reduced from +13% to +11% per stage
-Ion Blowtorch, health requirement improved from 40% to 45%, price reduced from 175 to 160 per stage
-Fixed an issue where it was possible for Ayla to fly up into the droppod area by quickly activating Rage.
Rubberband ball currently rewards Ayla for being inactive, this change makes the upgrade stimulate a more active playstyle.
-Rubberband ball, heal orbs only spawn when dealing damage.
Ayla does both a lot of killing and dying. These tweaks push her Rage skill more towards sustain, away from damage.
-Rip Apart bear, self-damage reduction increased from 12% to 18% per stage.
-Angry Drawings, damage reduced from 19% to 17% per stage.
This upgrade made Ayla too tanky, time to replace it.

Image
Chucho
-Fixed an issue where Chucho would become stuck at the top of the level in the Starstorm map or Sorona when riding his bike.
-Fixed an issue where Chucho could still mount his bike even when it was cocooned.
-Changed camera style from vertical deadzone to centered when Chucho is on his bike.
-Fixed an issue where Trick-up-your-Sleeze, B.O.O.M. Gas and One Armed Chameleon damage scaled like health instead of damage.
-Fixed an issue where the One Armed Chameleon effect could be prolonged by tapping teleport between shots.
After the stun was nerfed One Armed Chameleon became way less effective, so it was changed to be damage focused instead.
-One Armed Chameleon, stun removed, range increased by 50%, base damage increased from 70 to 80 per shot.
Give every Naut access to Baby Kuri Mammoth, in order to better balance CC
-Solar Krab Burgers, replaced for Baby Kuri Mammoth.
Toning down of a too-strong upgrade
-Neon Nitro Muffler, damage-over-time reduced from 210 to 180 per stage.
Changes meant to make Chucho’s playstyle more active.
-Turret, cooldown after destruction reduced from 12 to 10 seconds.
-Turret, cooldown after self-destruction reduced from 6 to 5 seconds.

Image

-Placed Clunk’s healthbar lower again

Image

Combining slow upgrades has been obnoxious for a long time, time to replace one of them.
-Syphon Disruptor, now increases damage of Shock during Blaze by 25%, price 180 solar.
-Disruptor, 1 stage removed.
-Disruptor, slow increased from 8% to 12% per stage.

Image
Derpl
-Derpl now keeps his air momentum when going into siege mode
-When teleporting Derpl will now place his Grid Trap at the intended location.
-Fixed that buying both Pussycat Album and Barrier Magazine would give Derpl too much shielding when not in Siege Mode.
-Fixed that if a Nuke was charging when you transformed out of Siege Mode, the charge-up graphics would disappear.

Image
Froggy G
-Added a visual indicator for when Mutant Worms: Limited Ninja Edition is active.
-Fixed an issue where the damage increase given by Piranha Cartridges was incorrectly communicated by the tooltip when Froggy had a level higher than 3.
-Improved invincibility over network. This should fix the issue where Froggy G would receive damage when dashing through Yuri mines.
-Fixed that the bonus damage granted by Mutant Worms: Ninja Edition would be canceled by engaging teleport.
A slight buff to an underwhelming upgrade.
-Hydro Smash, attack speed buff increased from 40% to 50%.
-Clock Necklace, gain a heal over time that heals 180 over 4 seconds upon landing a Dash.

Image
Genji
-Fixed issue where flying nauts or droids would not fall down when cocooned.
-Fixed an issue where flying characters like Yuri and Ayla while in Rage would not drop down when cocooned.
-Cocoon now interrupts Swiggins Anchor Hook, Leon’s Tongue Snatch and Yoolip’s Gripping Gaze. It also breaks any active chains. We concluded that continuing these skills after a Cocoon would just be confusing and messy behaviour.
-Fixed an issue where Prefab Cocoons would not trigger if the Cocooned enemy was partially overlapping a turret.
-Fixed issue where Raelynn’s snipe or Yuri’s laser would remain visible while being cocooned.
-Fixed issue where the last pieridae transformae would also spawn a droid when Cocooning a flying droid
Some nerfs intended to affect his godlike teamplay, while at the same time giving him a slight buff for SoloQ

-Cat Pillar, price per stage increased from 185 to 215
-Prefab Cocoons, price per stage reduced from 190 to 180
-Prefab Cocoons, now explodes instantly
-Prefab Cocoons, damage reduced from 185 to 160 per stage.
-Fixed that the droid generated by Piriade Transformae give XP to the enemy team.
-Changed Cocoon from an interrupt to a time freeze to the person being Cocooned
Monarch Blessing is now an almost guaranteed win for each teamfight. Some changes to tone it down.
-Monarch Blessing, base shielding reduced from 25% to 20%
-Spiritual Cooking, extra health reduced from 125 to 90 per stage.
-Gettin’ Out of Da Hood, speed decreased from +30% to +25%.
While considered strong in teamfights, Genji is pretty bad at pushing.
-Butterfly Shot, damage vs. structures increased from 50% to 75%.

Image
Gnaw
-Alligned the visual of Gnaw’s spit bullet with the collision (it was off by a fraction)
-Fixed an issue where a cooldown would be visible in the skill dock, there shouldn’t be any cooldown, only a delay to create the weedlings.
Some buffs to help with lategame scaling
-Rotten Teeth, now also reduces Damage over Time duration, by 1s per stage
-Dental Braces, effect replaced. Landing bite weakens enemy damage vs. Awesomenauts by 15% for 1s
-Chattering Teeth, price reduced from 205 to 165
-Diamond Teeth, price reduced from 225 to 190

Image
Jimmy and the LUX5000
-Fixed that Skullplate Trophy didn't speed up the last attack in the Rattle Smash Combo
-Flaming Stroller, only applies one first damage tick when touching multiple flames at once.
Jimmy is currently in a decent position, therefore little changes were made at this time. Improving his charge consistency and some other upgrade changes are being discussed for the future.
-Dirty Diapers, removed one stage, cooldown reduction increased from 0.8s to 2s, price increased from 135 to 180 solar.
-Danger Pins, damage reduced from 250 to 210.
Give every Naut access to Baby Kuri Mammoth, in order to better balance CC
-Barrier Magazine, replaced for Baby Kuri Mammoth
General Fix
-Steel boxing gloves, fixed that it was possible to trigger a shield while activating a skill
This change both reduces the potency of Lux’s most crutchy upgrade as well as removes one of the most frustrating aspects of playing against him.
-Danger Pins, pulse lifetime reduced from 0.3 to 0.25 seconds, to better match its visual.
Missiles are too weak right now for the downsides they bring when firing.
-Missile Barrage, damage increased from 150 to 170.
This lifesteal upgrade makes Jimmy a bit too tanky in teamfights.
-Nano Repair Bots, heal per stage reduced from 80 to 70.
Lux is a bit too tanky right now.
-Base health reduced from 1550 to 1500.

Image
Ksenia
-Scissors now cancel the Cut and Trim damage if thrown at the same time as the attack.
-Fixed issue where Cut and Trim wouldn’t cause silence when coming out of Vanish
-Fixed issue where Scissor Throw icon would pop up during Cut and Trim, even without buying Scissor Throw
-Made knockback on scissors upgrade consistent between regular and powered-up scissors.
-Scissor Throw, cooldown increased from 0.25s to 0.3s.
Ksenia is regarded too strong in the highest levels, some adjustments to tone her down
-Remembrance Machine, slow per stage reduced from 15% to 10%
-Acrobatic Double Jump, maximum jump height decreased from 5.6 to 5.2
-Vanish, cooldown increased from 11s to 12s
-Occam’s Razor, slow reduced from 25% to 20%
-Deja Vu Blocker, silence reduced from 0.6s to 0.5s per stage
General Fix
-Fixed that Ksenia would no longer go out of stealth based on the Vanish timer after picking up the stealth orb in Aguillon. Stealth would in that case last the 20s given by the orb.
The current Fury Blowout generates scissors too quickly for Ksenia.
-Fury Blowout, now only gains 1 scissor maximum.

Image
Leon
-Pinot Noir, base regen increased, price reduced 155 from to 115 solar
Changes to make Leon more of an assassin, less of a pusher / army manager / king of the backdoor
-Leon can have one clone at a time

-Steel false teeth, merged into one stage, heal value increased from 68 to 85, price increased to 190
-Spectacles magnet piercing, added second stage, maximum blind duration 3s
-Fixed that the “stunned” message triggered multiple times when being pulled by Tongue Snatch.
Considered overpowered, this upgrade gets a slight nerf.
-Cheese & Garlic Mints, silence reduced from 0.8s to 0.6s per stage.
-French Baguette, movement speed increase increased from 14% to 20%.
-French baguette, price reduced from 130 to 90 solar
Avoiding combat and just pushing is a bit too effective of a strategy for Leon.
-Structure damage reduced to 75%.

Image
Lonestar
General buffs to improve Lonestars standing
-Bull Charger, damage increased from 180 to 210
-Hyper Bull, increased its push frequency by 50% while reducing the effects per tick to make its push more solid while remaining as strong as before.

-Darkenstone, damage increased from 10% to 15%.
-Fixed an issue where using Orb while Fire Breathing , the Eternal Orb fire balls would still spawn.
Nibbs is too reliant on crowd control effects to be able to land her damage consistently. These changes should help make her damage output more reliable.
-Orb of Omicron, base damage increased from 200 to 225.
-Fire Breath, flame speed increased by 15%.
-Eternal Flame, orbs now deal a damage-over-time effect, dealing 150 damage over 5 seconds per stage.

Image
Penny Fox
-Fixed rare bug in randomnauts where aim input would be locked if you died while playing as Penny and shooting the Energy Pulse.
-Fixed an issue where it was possible to activate skills without charges.
-Penny now always spawns with full charges, making her a bit more viable in Deathmatch modes.
Some slight nerfs and diversity improvements
-Pounce, base damage reduced from 92 to 87, damage per stage from 51 to 48.
-Electric Bike Lock, damage increased from 10% to +11%, price increased from 135 to 160 per stage.

Give every Naut access to Baby Kuri Mammoth, in order to better balance CC
-Wraithstone replaced for Baby Kuri Mammoth
-Changed that Herring Snack Badge scales as a healing skill instead of a damage skill.
-Claw, damage increased from 83 to 88.

Image
Professor Yoolip
-Fixed that it was possible to summon a single Robo Dino while shooting out Gripping Gaze
-Fixed an issue where the stun caused by Gripping Gaze lasted 0.4 seconds too long.
-Yoolip’s Gripping Gaze will now stop immediately when hitting a target that is immune for stun. Examples are a Derpl in siege mode or a Yuri with active Time Warp upgraded with Spacetime Continuity Device or a Vinnie using Smoke Screen with Clown’s Mask. Before only Yoolip would be stunned for the duration of Gripping Gaze while not stunning those targets.
Walking Rod changed because it was hardly ever picked due to its highly situational nature.
-Walking Rod, now gives Dinos a 100% speed up for 1.5 seconds after deploying or until they bite something.
Give every Naut access to Baby Kuri Mammoth, in order to better balance CC
-Solar Krab Burgers, replaced for Baby Kuri Mammoth
This change should both improve Yoolip’s early game and significantly weaken one of his most mandatory items.
-Summon Robo Dinos, base lifetime increased from 3 to 4.5 seconds.
-Antigravity Ball, second stage removed.
-Fixed an issue where Gripping Gaze would always deal 2 ticks less than it should according to its description.
-Summon Robo Dinos, Dino lifetime reduced from 4.5 to 3.5 seconds.
-Wrench Smack, damage increased from 90 to 95.

Image
Raelynn

-Iron rifle, shield absorb damage value increased from 165 to 225
-Fixed a bug where, when simultaneously using a jump pad and charging a snipe shot, you couldn’t jump immediately after firing the shot.
Raelynn is mostly effective at defending, these changes are meant to stimulate her to become more active.
-Timerift, damage against droids reduced to 50%.
-Snipe damage against droids reduced to 75%
-Timerift, charge up speed and projectile speed increased by 15%.
-Timerift, height increased from 3.5 to 5.

Image
Rocco
-Fixed that Mirakuru accurately gives +120% life regeneration.
-Fixed that Classics adds +10% instead of +8% damage to a charged Precision Arrow affected by Little Johnny.

Image
Scoop
-Fixed that the Penguin Squire heal over time effect is correctly given to allies when combined with Holy Cup upgrade.
-Added a visual hit indicator when dealing damage with Frozen Hammer.
Scoop is a bit too good at everything. These changes should both tone him down, and improve his diversity.
-Banner of the triple scoop, dps per stage reduced from 55 to 47.
-The holy cup, healing increased from 65% to 75%, solar price reduced from 200 to 180.
-Ice cream van music, merged into one stage, solar price increased from 140 to 200.
-Fixed an issue where the health gained from Snow Shovel would be inaccurately displayed in the tooltip when the player’s level was higher than 1.
Scoop’s base attack is considered too weak and goes underutilized, thus this structural buff.
-Sword Strike, attacks per second increased from 2.2 to 2.4.
Halberd has been a weird upgrade for a while, granting great amounts of health at seemingly random moments. Time to replace it.
-Halberd of Justice, get +30% damage for 4 seconds when landing a Frozen Hammer.
A price buff for an overpriced upgrade.
-Penguin Throne, solar cost reduced from 225 to 175.

Image
Sentry
-Base health, increased from 1550 to 1600
Compensate for the movement speed buffs most Nauts received in 2.13.5 and Baby Kuri Mammoth affecting Black Hole Sun

-Ringtones for the deaf, silence duration reduced from 2.5 to 2 seconds

These items are overpriced for what they do.

-Ejection Seat, heal increased from 175 to 200, price reduced from 175 to 150, per stage.
-Counter intelligence cross, fixed a small typo in the description.

With the removal of Bug Detector, Black Hole Sun needs to be compensated a bit.
-Black Hole Sun, base gravity increased by 20%

Image
Skølldir
-Improved Skolldir in situations where he couldn’t hit enemies right next to him, by spawning his impact fist a little closer to him and letting it fly a little longer (keeping the effective range the same).
-Fixed that Perfumed White Flowers lifesteal sometimes didn’t connect, while the 3rd Bash hit did.
Axethrowing Trophy stun is still considered strong, added a slight nerf
-Axethrowing Trophy, added stun reduced from 0.3s to 0.2s

Image
Skree
-The cooldown for Saw will now only be visible when it is returned to Skree. Before there was also a cooldown visible when sending out the Saw.
-The minimap icon for the Totem of Power no longer appears as a solid purple block in replays.
Changes to make Sawblade more of an active skill
-Sawblade cooldown starts upon return of the blade
-Sawblade cooldown reduced to 8
Reduce Sawblade stalling potential
-All Sawblade damage a gainst droids reduced to 75%
Give every Naut access to Baby Kuri Mammoth, in order to better balance CC
-Barrier Magazine, replaced for Baby Kuri Mammoth
These changes are meant to make Skree more effective at brawling, less at stalling. Also reduces mandatoriness of the Sawblade size upgrade.

-Sawblade, flying speed increased by 15%.
-Sawblade, size increased by 15%.
-Suitcase Monster, size reduced from 50% to 30%.

-Blue Heart Medal, impact damage reduced from 55(20%) to 50(16%) per stage
-Treasure Lottery Map, duration increased from 1s to 2.5s
-Fixed an issue where you could create multiple anchors when throwing Swiggins anchor down in the Starstorm level
Swiggins gets punished hard for missing a relatively unreliable skill, these tweaks improve upon that.

-Anchor drop, chain length reduced by 15%.
-CC immunity on treasure lottery map, now starts directly when hitting an enemy naut.

Ted McPain
-Fixed an issue where the DoT dealt by a Double RPG Airstrike would reduce the duration of the DoT and apply Ted’s earlier landed DoT faster
Grenaide is still considered obnoxious, replaced with knockback to also allow escapes and technical plays without being overbearing
-Grenaide pour homme, effect replaced by a knockback pulse
Base Stimpack effect is considered a little underwhelming, made it stronger for a longer cooldown, moved some effect to base
-Stimpack, base attack speed buff raised from 35% to 40%
-Stimpack, base duration increased from 3s to 4s
-Stimpack, cooldown starts at the end of Stimpack effect, cooldown reduced from 12 to 10
-Ammo Weekly, Attack speed increase reduced from 15% to 12% per stage
-Armpit Shaving Cream, price decreased from 165 to 155 solar per stage
Changed Tedris Ville, as it’s become a crutch
-Tedris Ville, damage reduced from 190 to 135
-Tedris Ville, range reduced from 20.8 to 15
-Tedris ville, cooldown reduced from 3s to 1.2s, only activates when not firing Machine Gun
Improvements to the auto attack row diversity
-Ted McPain Unicorn Dance Karting, reduced arming time from 1.5s to 0.8s
-Ted McPain Unicorn Dance Karting, grenade damage per stage reduced from 100 to 80.
-Teddy’s Bullseyes, added second stage of +1 ammo for 135 solar
Reduce Ted’s stalling potential and reduced Airstrike strength
-Wheelbarrow with Ammo, damage reduced from 15%(66) to 12%(54)
-Airstrike, cooldown increased from 10s to 11s
-Airstrike damage against droids reduced to 75%
-Fixed issue where Ted would appear to be shooting with the shotgun but was actually shooting with the machinegun.
The airstrike was never designed to reveal hide areas, this was originally a byproduct of its technical implementation. Because the airstrike was overhauled to work on the starstorm map it lost this area revealing ‘bug’. Previously the hide area in which the airstrike spawned was revealed for the entire duration of the airstrike. We felt this revealed the hide area for too long, potentially limiting the enemy team's options for an ambush. At the same time it had limited utility because the airstrike had to be placed inside the area. By making the airstrike reveal all hide areas it hits we expect it to be more intuitive to use. At the same time the airstrike only reveals at the moment it strikes so it no longer just cancels a hide area for long periods of time.
-Airstrike, now reveals all hide areas hit by Airstrike at the moment the strike triggers.

Image
Vinnie & Spike
-Reduced the amount of particles used with Cod Father’s visual overlay effect.
-Reduced maximum falling speed by 30%.
Some slight build diversity changes and fixes
-Rigged casino games, reduces base spike dive damage by 40%, solar price reduced from 225 to 180
-Clown's Mask, changed to 1 stage of 3 seconds CC immunity, cost 200 solar.
Vinnie is on the weak end of the spectrum right now, both in strength and build diversity. These changes should help with both.
-Spike Dive, base damage increased from 370 to 400.
-Dead Seahorse Head, effect increased from 11% to 18% per stage.
-Chrome File, damage per stage reduced from +15%(55) to +12%(48).
-Bag Full Of Gold fish, damage reduced from +24%(88) to +20%(81).
-Alien Abduction Kit, price reduced from 185 to 165.
-Withered President Mask, duration increased from 2 to 3 seconds.
Big quality of life improvement.
-Vinnie & Spike now ignore glass platforms when holding down the ‘down jump’ button.

Image
Voltar
-Fixed an issue where due to lag there would be a disparity between the visual and the healing done by the healpod
-Healbot, fixed an issue where the Healbot would always finish with its destroyed animation instead of the heal-flash
-Healbot, fixed an issue where the description said it needed to charge for 0 seconds instead of 2
-Necromancer Voltar skin, fixed a visual bug that would make the skull on his chest invisible when aiming upward
This upgrade offered an unreliable increase in healing, this will make it more reliable.
-Happy Thoughts, increase base heal by 15% per stage, instead of max heal by 25%.
Voltar's in air movement has always been clunky, this will tighten it up.
-In air maneuverability increased by 50%.
Putting it just out of reach of Piggybank after drop, making piggy less mandatory on Voltar.
-Psychokinetic Repulsion, price increased from 140 to 185.
Healbot is too divisive, healing more than healthpack at base while doing nothing for a long time if it fails.
-Healbot, base heal reduced from 450 to 330.
-Healbot, base cooldown reduced from 17 to 13 seconds.
-Changed that Healbot scales as a healing skill instead of a damage skill.
-The counter in your skill button now keeps better track of how many drones are active.

PS4 patch 1.5
7-9-2016
This is the same version as the Xbox One launch version

NEW FREE character: Rocco
When a job's too dirty for The Intergalactic Police Department to take on, they call Rocco. This old Bird's the most relentless, gruff and tough-as-talons hitman vigilante this side of the Milkyway. Rocco is feared by the most dangerous solar cartel gang bosses, Shisu mobsters and other crazed alien psychopaths for his "ravenous methods". Not shunning any kind of weapon, Rocco prefers his ACOG Blackout G-Mag Laserbow, which has got him out of a tight spot more than once. Rocco's aggressive behaviour did result in a lot of powerful enemies however, including a corrupt Galaxial congressman who made him a wanted man, and forced him to quit the force. Instead of a retirement at the Kentucky Friends and Poultry Retreat he joined the Awesomenauts to plot his next move on his path to rid the universe of all space-scum.
This is a FREE new character added to the base game.

Image
NEW FREE character: Ksenia
Ksenia was once the best hairdresser in the galaxy. Year after year she won the renowned Venus hair style tournament with her outrageous hairstyle creations. She enjoyed the great fame that came with the status as master hair dresser, unfortunately her father Vladimir Pewchenko a rich weapons manufacturer on planet Russia (formerly known as the moon) had other plans for her. With a virtual reality hood dryer showing her a hair cutting simulator, he made her into one of the best assassins in the galaxy. While thinking she was cutting hair, in reality she was cutting down Pewchencko's enemies. With no competition left her father assigned her to the Awesomenauts, where she still wears the VR hood. Many suspect that Ksenia is actually just watching soap opera's on her hood and perfectly knows what she is doing.
This is a FREE new character added to the base game.

As a scientist professor Milton Yoolip loves to create wondrous inventions and contraptions.

NEW: Lonestar’s new graphics
Sheriff Lonestar got a brand new attire! His visuals and animations were completely redone resulting in cooler, crisper and much more awesome art! Sonic Picnic has even extended his theme song and killing spree music. The theme song is over twice as long now!

NEW: Starstorm map
The massive Starstorm station is ready for battle! On this map there's two big new factors to keep in mind: warpholes and bottomless space! Leaping into one of these wormholes will conveniently teleport you to the top of the map. Bottomless space is less convenient however as it tends to kill all Awesomenauts who fall into it...
This is a FREE expansion, playable for everyone who owns Awesomenauts!

NEW song: One Happy Galaxy
Together with the Starstorm map comes a new song in the regular gameplay soundtrack on all maps: One Happy Galaxy! Bounce along those awesome beats by Sonic Picnic!

NEW FREE skin: Augmented Ayla
There was a time when the Killer Koalas were as legendary as the Awesomenauts are today, and one of their members actually came from the future! Ayla used one of Yoolip's inventions to travel back in time, and she became the youngest member of the Killer Koalas. They gave her a pretty neat eye-patch to help her focus her psychic abilities. She became known as one of their most feared members and was nicknamed 'The Eraser'.
Augmented Ayla is a FREE skin added to the base game.

NEW ultimate skin: Electronic Supersonic Cybertronic Rocco
There are countless dimensions that are quite similar to ours, yet with subtle differences. In one of these dimensions, wars are not fought with weapons, but with music. One of the DJs enlisted in the ranks of the great music syndicate known as the Awesomenauts is called Rocco. Cybertronic Supersonic Electronic Rocco is now one of the most prominent DJs in the galaxy, and uses his music to bring peace to worlds ruled by dissonance.
This is a paid DLC and comes with custom voice lines, custom music and special in-game music effects.

NEW ultimate skin: 8-Bit Yoolip
Professor Yoolip’s most dangerous invention is probably the 8-Bit Game Cartridge-to-Reality generator, which is capable of reading any game cartridge from that ‘80s and turn the world contained within to reality. When he first tried this invention, it unleashed an 8-Bit version of himself… just sitting there, waiting for someone to take control of his destiny. Now he and his Robo Dinos are ready for some old school action!
This is a paid DLC and comes with a fully customized voice set, a new jingle and killing spree, and fully customised sound effects and graphics!

NEW premium skin: Sentry Specimen X-58
When Sentry infiltrated the commercial space ship Nostrilmo he found a gross pulsating egg. He quickly imprinted his consciousness on the embryonic alien within. Years later, the Nostrilmo crashed into the Starstorm station and unleashed a never-before-seen horror upon the Awesomenauts!
This is a paid DLC and comes with a fully customized voice set!

NEW premium skin: Skull Chopper Chucho
After slaying the last demon in Europe in a dark forest late in the fifteenth century, the legendary demon hunter got atop his steel horse and set off to another world in need of his services.

This is a paid DLC and comes with a fully customized voice set!

NEW premium skin: Wicked Coco
Witches were hunted down throughout the middle ages, but one of them managed to escape to a place where the inquisition was unable to follow her: a planet near the outer brim of the universe, called Okeanos. On this world she was finally free to practice her magic. Over time, the Witch traded her trusty broom for a more modern combat waveboard and updated her wardrobe, but every once in a while she still dons her old outfit.
This is a paid DLC and comes with a fully customized voice set!

NEW skin: Dragon Huntress Ksenia
Only one dragon remained in this world, but it would fall to her blades all the same. She leapt forward and killed her opponent with a single blow. Pieces of armor, weapons, and gold dropped all around her, but she cursed as the ring she had hoped to find was nowhere in sight. "Dammit, now I'll have to grind this part for the seventh time." Ksenia was already browsing through the menu to restart this particular chapter of her favorite game: 'Warrior Princess: Dragon Huntress'. Ksenia played the game whenever she had a few minutes in between the clients that visited her barber shop - she was a Dragon Huntress at heart!
This is a paid DLC.

NEW skin: Cosmic Captain Ksenia
At the Hairdresser Academy Ksenia was chosen by a cosmic force along with four fellow students. They were tasked with fighting evil monsters that threatened the galaxy. Sadly, the 'cosmic force' turned out to be some hacker kid that had been rejected from the academy a year earlier, and Ksenia's fellow chosen-ones were squished when a 20-story tall monster waltzed into town. Ksenia still managed to defeat the monster on her own, and even though she never heard from the 'cosmic force' again after that, she continued to hunt down giant monsters as a part-time job during her time at the academy.
This is a paid DLC.

NEW skin: Shinobi Rocco
Rumor spread of a new, hooded figure dispensing justice to the injust. Where they were once hunted by Rocco the Lawman by day, they were now hunted by Shinobi Rocco by night. They say Evil never sleeps, but they never told you that's because the Righteous made Evil afraid of the dark.
This is a paid DLC.

NEW skin: Sun Wukong Skree
A merchant travelling to the western edges of the Galaxy once met a strange being on an asteroid. The being came into this world by the name of Sun Wukong, and claimed to wield unimaginable powers. The merchant scoffed at his new companion, and told him "You look like a Monkey, but if you truly are a primate you would be a King among them." Sun Wukung glared at the merchant and zapped him with lightning, burning to him to a crisp. "They called me the Monkey King once, but none remain to do so now. I have become Skree, and I am free!"
This is a paid DLC.

NEW skin: Clockwork Yoolip
Professor Milton Yoolip has made many inventions, but his best work is quite possible a fully-sentient robot that mimics his every move. Whenever duty calls but Yoolip would rather spend his time tinkering on new gadgets or go to the park with his granddaughter, he sends Clockwork Yoolip to take his stead. Few people even notice the difference, given the Professors eccentric personality and the many tools he usually carries around.
This is a paid DLC

NEW skin: Sir Jimmy Lionheart
The Lionhearts are forged for battle, so the everlasting peace they had brought to the realms grew boring after a couple of years. That's when they heard about the Awesomenauts, a band of mercenaries embroiled in perpetual war, and set off to a land far far away to once-again fight side by side.
This is a paid DLC

NEW announcer: Ghosthouse
Shadow falls across the land - the midnight hour is close at hand. An Army of the Undead has risen from their graves and Baron Dreadfort himself commands the ghosts and ghouls that wander the streets. He speaks to you from beyond the void, sending shivers down your spine, yet beckoning you to participate in a game of Awesomenauts. The battlefields you have visited before appear as from a nightmare, and it feels as if on this particular night, there is so much more at stake than just your life…
This is a paid DLC.

NEW announcer: Rockstar announcer
Zippy Starburst is undoubtedly the biggest rock legend on this side of the Galaxy. His long and colorful history includes the introduction of head-tentacle banging and the ground-breaking album 'The rise and rise of Zippy Starburst and the Worms from Sorona'.
This is a paid DLC.

NEW announcer: The Mind Collection
From deep within the unexplored corners of the galaxy comes a threat called The Mind Collection – a clustered, shared awareness spread over countless assimilated species. This force will slow for nothing, and neither strength nor technology can keep it at bay. It seeks only to expand itself and slithers from system to system like an oil spill, leaving nothing but itself in its wake. Pray that The Mind Collection never reaches your world.
This is a paid DLC

NEW announcer: Skree
Lookit all deez puppets, man! Dey be fightin’ and scrapin’ over all deez here shrines Skree built. I is gonna spy on dem and see how dey be goin' after each other in da battle station.

This is a paid DLC

NEW: random announcer option
Use this option to make the game select a random announcer at the beginning of every match! This only uses the announcers you own.

NEW game system: Leveling
Awesomenaut teams will now level up during games based on the experience they accumulated. Each level will increase their damage and health. The new system will make damage and health upgrades less dominant in games, improve the flow of games by smoothing out the damage/health curve during a match, reduce the length of long games and overall make it more fun to play!

Reworked balance
The XP system brings a complete rework of the balance of the game. There are so many changes that we can't list them all individually here.

NEW: Sharper characters and levels
-Increased the resolution of Froggy G, Leon Chameleon, Raelynn, Clunk, Derpl, Yuri and the team-droid. Their in-game art is now just as sharp as the art of the newest characters.
-Increased the resolution of the level art in all the levels (only on High/Medium graphics quality, Low remains as it was).
-Optimised and restructured textures so that peak texture usage is only a little bit higher than it used to be on High/Medium graphics quality, and unchanged on Low graphics quality

NEW: round collisions
Most area effects now have round, instead of square, collisions. In several instances, graphics and area of effect radii have been tweaked. This change will make skills and visual feedback a lot more precise. The most notable improvements include Clunk's Explode, Derpl's Nuke, Ayla's Rage and Yuri's Timebubble.

NEW: Better tooltips
Tooltips in shop have been updated. They should be easier to read and have more detailed information.

NEW Custom Games options
Lots of new options for Custom Games! Including some really crazy ones like slipperiness, stealth for everyone, spawning a Solar Boss on death, dealing knockback on every hit and even not being able to walk back.

Fixes and improvements
This patch comes with hundreds of smaller fixes and tweaks to all aspects of the game! Too many to list them all here!

PS4 patch 1.4
9-9-2015
Discuss here!

Voltar and Sorona reworks!
Both Voltar and Sorona got a big rework this patch! Especially Voltar is a New Man (tm) now! See the notes below for detailed information.

NEW Naut: Nibbs
Image

Nibbs is a dragon warrior in service to the Sisterhood of Coba. This demonic group was bound to the Omicron dimension who, as soon as the Starstorm ripped a hole in the continuum, started an invasion of conquest.

Right after going through the portal, Nibbs's ship landed on the space station. Scouting around, she mistook Gnaw's tail for a juicy piece of fruit. After he was bitten, the startled Gnaw led her right back to the Awesomenauts who managed to convince her to stay with a wide variety of exotic treats.

Orb of Omicron
Send out an orb to which you can teleport with a second press.

Fire breath
Hold your position and unleash your fiery breath on your foes.

Dragon frenzy
Strike with your claws. Each hit will give a stack of frenzy, increasing your attackspeed.

Nibbs is a paid DLC

NEW premium skin: Battle Nibbs and the Hu-Zurian

NEW skin: Voltar Bonaparte
Image
The death of Napoleon has always been shrouded in mystery: he vanished from history in 1821, and was never seen again. In 3521 we finally learned the truth of what had happened. He had the technology. He had remade himself, ready to start his conquest in Awesomenauts.
This is a paid DLC

NEW announcer: Wraithlord Scoop announcer
What do you do when you're an immortal warrior, doomed to pursue your own unending thirst for vengeance? That's right! You get a hobby! Tremble, mortals!

This is a paid DLC

NEW announcer: The Scrolls of XiPang
And behold! The king said, build me a palace of splendor, for it pleases ourselves and our queen. From that day, the land was sapped of its riches. The king gathered also the ire of his people, who rose up to besiege the palace. Thus started the age... of strife.
This is a paid DLC.

NEW announcer: Coco
Coco Nebulon takes the mic as she tries to stay focused on the battle at hand. She will probably be distracted all the time by all the shiny lights and her girlfriends calling her on her cell.

NEW song: Sirens Before The Storm
In the depths of the Starstorm station the Awesomenauts discovered an ancient intergalactic-space-composer-bot. He had used the formula for the intersonic quantum barrier to come up with beats so awesome that they are still used today as the Sirens before the Storm.

NEW language: Russian
Thanks to the great help of the community the entire game has now been translated to Russian!

-Scoop by Nailcliper
-Sentry by Ignotis

-Changed DoT (now purple) and Damaged (now off-white) colours on the healthbar to be better compatible with newly implemented colourblind functionality

General
-Gnaw, Raelynn and Ayla are now available right from the start and don’t have to be unlocked any more (only relevant to new players or players who had not unlocked them yet).
-Accounts now level 25% faster
-Fixed that holidays level art sometimes triggered on the wrong date
-Fixed that in the tutorial the mud was sometimes hard to remove from the turret.
-Fixed matchmaking issues due to unknown league
-Fixed that damage was sometimes applied twice when the internet connection was really bad
-Fixed that AFK timers had accidentally been set back to 90 and 150 seconds in patch 2.6. These were increased to 120 and 180 seconds in patch 2.5.6 and were supposed to still be that way.
-Muting a player in-game now also mutes attack/defend/help commands
-Fixed that there was always one loading screen hint missing
-Fixed that sometimes the screen remained black for 10 seconds before the intro video began
-Fixed that leaderboard reset sometimes didn't happen correctly

Polished graphics

-Coco’s Ball Lightning has improved visuals and teamcolour.
-Disco Voltar’s drones now have a customised laser shot.
-The Core’s damage state had a date with Nicola Tesla for a more shocking visual effect.

Menus
-Can now change the language from the settings menu in the game (instead of only by changing the console language)
-Fixed issue where with Randomnauts you could circumvent the random pick
-Fixed missing league in menus
-Improved anti-aliasing on text for better readability, and making it less pixely
-Improved the spacing between characters in the font. Due to a bug the distance after a short letter (like i) was shorter than the distance after a wide letter (like w).
-Fixed that in the character select menu some character animations stopped after you had selected the character
-Fixed some issues in the menu flow around weird combinations of adding and removing splitscreen players
-Fixed that the friendslist in the leaderboards was empty for some players

Sound
-Sounds that have several variations now won’t randomly play the same sample several times in a row. This is especially noticeable in voices like taunts, where characters won’t repeat the same taunt twice immediately after each other any more.
-The Private Mels skin for Lonestar now has a more fitting revolver sound for his gunshot.
-Sentry’s voice is made 10% softer to be in line with the volume of the other characters
-Swiggins’ voicelines when using skills now play less often
-Lonestar’s gun has a new more awesome sound
-Added impact sounds for whenever someone is hit by anything. We already had pain sounds for hits but there is now also a sound that represents the hit itself. This sound differs with whether the character is a metal or flesh character.
-The SUSI announcer got some extra voice lines.
-Fixed that pain sounds always played the strong variation, even when you got only a little bit of damage. This happened because all damage had been multiplied by ten in patch 1.3, but the threshold for pain sounds had not. Pain sounds now again have a weak and a strong version like they did before.

Item shop
-Fixed that recommended items were not shown in the shop
-Refund button can now be changed in the control configuration menu
-Fixed that in 3 player splitscreen the "refund" text in the store was just out of view

-Fixed that things like grenades and anchor collided with the sides of glass platforms
-Fixed that damage increase icon (sword) was still visible when in stealth
-Added a visual countdown for the Eye of Aiguillon invisibility buff
-Baby kuri mammoth now also reduces knockback effects
-Fixed that bullet detonation didn’t break stealth (e.g. Coco’s Ball lightning, Derpl’s Nuke, etc.)
-Fixed that you could get stuck while downjumping through platforms and the Skree totem
-Fixed that you could get hit by bullets in the path between the teleport enter and exit positions.
-Fixed an issue where players were able to wedge themselves into the droid spawners.
-Cocoon, Voltar Drones and Airstrikes now don't affect skills anymore that depend on others being near. For example, Ayla's Rage damage is not increased anymore if a cocooned enemy is near, while it still is for any normal enemy that is near.
-Fixed that turrets and droids could steal your kill, making the Solar drop on the ground. Now if a turret or enemy is killed by a turret/droid just after you hit it, you get the Solar automatically.
-All melee attacks from nauts will now prioritize other nauts first, then droids and then buildings.

Wraith Stone
We realized the item we created to replace Solar Tree wasn’t used by many players. We are trying to find a useful yet balanced solution. During the beta we tested out a new upgrade called Zork’s Barrier. From the feedback we got we found out that some players prefer Wraithstone (+heal from critters) and some others prefer the shield. We tried to fit the items to the classes who would have most use out of each. Resulting in the following changes.
-Wraith Stones effect is replaced by Barrier magazine which provides a passive damage absorbing shield of 5% per stage (110 Solar per stage, 2 stages) for Clunk, Coco, Derpl, Genji, Lonestar, Scoop, Sentry, Skølldir, Skree, Swiggins, Voltar.
-Fixed an issue where wraithstone would not work correctly
-Wraithstone will now also have a fixed price when this function is turned on in custom games.
-Wraithstone price reduced from 155 to 120 Solar.
-Wraithstone health drop increased from 200 to 300.

Droids
-Droids now prioritize enemy droids over enemy nauts, when choosing a target.
-Droids should now have less issues with jumping over each other and finding their target.
-Fixed an issue where the spawning of droid waves could desynchronise per team. Droid waves will now always spawn at the same moment for both teams.
-Humming bird droids health reduced from 550 to 400, this also includes the humming birds from Genji (The last Pieridae Transformae) and Raelynn (T-800 dome)
-Removed the shield on hummingbird droids including on the ones of Raelynn and Genji

Aiguillon

Sorona
The ground rumbles and rocks shift as the earth comes to life as a rare phenomenon occurs over Sorona’s battlefield: a long awaited nightfall. Due it’s two suns there is a rarely a time without their scorching heat, so when a night dawns over Sorona’s sands the worms inhabiting the earth gorge themselves on the cool surface-rocks.
Sorona has received some big changes, including a reduction in size: the mid area is about 10-20% smaller now. Also the maximum flying height has slightly been reduced and there is now a road from the neutral area to the area behind the front turret. Also some new platforms are introduced and locations of solar and health orbs have been altered. This design should reduce the funnel at the end of a game on Sorona and reduce overall game time on this sandy map. We also removed some Solar from the worm location to reduce farming situations.

Voltar
Image
Voltar got some big changes to improve his mechanics. He is basically a new character now, give him a try and learn his new way of playing! Our intention was to fix a number of issues:

-His burst damage with suicide drones which doesn't really fit his supportive role. To fix this we changed the suicide drones to fire one at a time, with a short cooldown.
-Drones shoot bullets that often don't hit and aren't very reliable. To fix this we have replaced the shot with a fast laser shot and increased the range and accuracy of drones.
-His low skill ceiling. Healbot and healing wave are too easy to use and his max potential is easily reached. To fix this we have made healing wave a single target Awesomenaut only heal, which can heal more individually and also deals damage to enemies, positioning is now more important. Since it has been changed so drastically we have renamed the skill to Techno Synaptic Wave. Healbot has reduced health and is easier to take down, and deals one pulse instead of multiple over time, again to improve positioning and timing. Overall both skills feel more active now and Voltar needs to move around more, to reach max potential.
-His dominance in group healing and weak single target healing. With all his healing abilities being able to heal in an area, made us balance him for good teamplay. This however harmed his ability to heal single targets and also work effectively in solo matches, where it is often hard to play the supportive role. As explained we have made healing wave a single target ability this removes the scaling in groups. To further increase his skill ceiling and to reduce his strength in groups, we have added a mechanic where his techno synaptic wave heals more the further he is away from his target. This should allow for more interesting positioning for Voltar and provide options for enemy teams to pick him out of a group.
-His Solar gain, which has always been almost double the amount of other nauts. We removed his Solar gain on wave and reduced the prices of all his items. By adding damage to his techno synaptic wave and increasing accuracy of the drones he has an easier time of last hitting enemies and gaining Solar.

-Put the "rematch" option back in the game for public matches
-Fixed that the shop was so close to the edge of the screen that the safe frame of an incorrectly calibrated television/Playstation®4 would cut off part of the right most items

-Fixed that the text "Refund" fell off the screen for the top players in splitscreen

PS4 Patch 1.3
18-3-2015
Discuss here!

NEW Awesomenaut: The Scoop of justice!
Scoop is a brave Gelati knight. The Gelati are brilliant craftsmen famous for their delicious Castle Ice Cream. The gelatinous knights gather snow and ice from different planets and mix them with sweet candies and fruits. Although cocoa trees haven't been seen for ages and they are thought to be extinct, the Gelati see it as their holy duty to find a real piece of chocolate and create the ultimate flavour of ice cream: stracciatella. Scoop was assigned by the lords of his house to aid the Awesomenauts in protecting the universe from the new Omicron threat.

Scoop’s skills are as following:

Wrapping of justice
Wrap yourself in healing bindings which heal you and damage your enemies.

Frozen hammer
Throw out a hammer of ice that snares multiple enemies. The longer it flies, the more damage you deal and the longer the snare lasts.

Sword strike
Hold attack button to alternate between a direct stab and a sweeping cleave attack that heals you.

This new character is free for all players, so this is NOT a paid DLC. Enjoy!

NEW: Removal of the loadout and introduction of ZORK’S MEGA SHOP!

At Ronimo we love to criticize our own work and improve where we can even if it means making large changes. Making Awesomenauts a better game is our #1 priority!

For a long time now we have evaluated the loadout system and recently we came to the conclusion that the game needed something better.

From a design perspective the loadout system was meant to increase item build options, but what we found was that it actually works quite the opposite. With the ever increasing size of the Awesomenauts team, new gameplay, situations, added mechanics and with no information on enemy team composition or selected level players were forced to pick the best items for every situation before the battle. This limited options, effective builds and created frustration when the situation in game was not optimal for your chosen build and reduced overall fun.

So we made the radical decision to remove the loadout completely and came up with something better and what is better than a loadout you ask?... ZORK’S MEGA SHOP that’s what’s better!

With a completely new interface and expanded shelves, you now have 6 options in the shop per skill row. You still can buy 3 items per row, but you will have all the items available to you to choose from during the game. This will give you more control over your build, allows for situational items to become a lot more interesting and hopefully we’ll see more items being picked..*cough*baby kuri mammoth*cough*! We are certain you are going to enjoy this major overhaul! :)

NEW: AI Station 205
This is a revised version of AI Station 404 with two lanes, a new hazard and pimped graphics. The original AI Station 404 is still playable in Practice and Custom Games, but will not be selected anymore in online public matches.

NEW: Bots made by the community!
A whopping nine new bots have been added to the game, and the four existing ones have been improved! These are:
-Ayla by Veanko
-Coco by nailclipper
-Genji by thesilverskull190
-Gnaw by Veanko
-Raelynn by Pirate-Rob
-Skree by Veanko
-Swiggins by hurleybird
-Ted McPain by Gatronix
-Vinnie & Spike by TheMesp
-Clunk by Veanko
-Froggy by gmfreaky
-Leon by Veanko
-Lonestar by Veanko
Online bots now use difficulty level 3, which means they cheat half as much as they did before. In Custom and Practice modes you can still set bots to difficulty levels 4 and 5 to give them insane cheats for extra challenge.

NEW menu music
The menu music has been extended for much more awesomeness!

NEW premium skin: Grim Genji
From the darkest reaches of space, the Void Moth comes to spreads its wings over all of creation. To aid him in his eternal struggle against the Space Butterfly, the Void Moth has sent out it's most powerful prophet, Grim Genji, to go forth and gather more souls for his master. This DLC comes with a fully customized voice set by Jesse Cox! Grim Genji was designed by community member Li Yang 'Xethoz' Lim for the Design-a-skin competition and was chosen by the community as the most awesome concept from more than 250 submissions!
This is a paid DLC

NEW ultimate skin: Magma/Jotunn Skolldir
Old spacesailors tell the tale of Jotunn Skølldir, who was banished from his homeworld and carved a path of destruction through the galaxy. Worlds that fell victim to his rage were swallowed by lava or entombed in ice, leaving none alive. Supposed to wield both fists of undying flame and the cold of an eternal winter, Jotunn Skølldir truly is one of the last remaining legends of the galaxy. Those who have witnessed the destruction left behind by him are never the same. The skin-design and sound effects vary depending on whether the player is currently playing for the Red or the Blue team, with Jotunn Skølldir assuming his fire-form in the Red team, and an ice-form in the Blue team. The Jotunn Skølldir skin does NOT have a unique voice over. Jotunn Skølldir was designed by community member CrimsonYeti for the Design-a-skin competition and was chosen by the community as one the runner-ups to Grim Genji from more than 250 submissions!
This is a paid DLC

NEW skin: Leon Legionnaire
My name is Leon Legionnnaire, commander of the Armies of Aiguillon, connoisseur of fine cheese and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor: Blabus Zorkonius. Owner of a stolen space yacht, winner of the 3586 jeu de boules cup. I will claim my glory, in this battle or the next. Leon Legionnaire was designed by community member Lautaro Aglione for the Design-a-skin competition and was chosen by the community as one the runner-ups to Grim Genji from more than 250 submissions!
This is a paid DLC

NEW premium skin: Wraithlord Scoop
Once an avatar of Justice itself, Wraithlord Scoop is the twisted resurrection of a once benevolent warrior. On his new dark path this once noble spirit has now been consumed by an unending vengeance. Ancient prophecies have been discovered that speak of the Wraithlord's legendary dark weapon, Doomblade. It is said that unless a being of pure spirit exorcises this Doomblade, the dark powers within it resurrect the Wraithlord each time he is slain... This DLC comes with a fully customized voice set
This is a paid DLC

NEW: Removed Rematch option after public matches
Since only part of the players in a match used the Rematch option, this resulted in lots of half-filled matches. Matchmaking functions better if instead all of these players just enter the matchmaking pool again, giving the matchmaker a chance to put them in the matches that fit their location and rating best. This also removes the irritating timers from the post-game screens.

NEW: Damage multiplied by 10!
We multiplied all the damage numbers by 10. Apart from Clunks hitting badass numbers like 1000, this decision was made so we could do finer balance changes. When an attack hits 2 per second and we want to nerf it, it would be nerfed by half. Now we can nerf things much more subtly.

Rewards for kills
The reward for killing someone felt too weak for us, so we increased the bonus amount for a killing blow from 30 to 40. Also, killing someone with a killing spree now gives you a bonus 40 solar instead of 20. The player dying now loses more: from 30 to 40 Solar. Bots will still drop half the amounts.

Network
-Fixed that host migration failed if the new host left the game during host migration (host migration can still fail for other reasons, like if players don’t have a connection with the new host)
-Important gameplay data (like bullet creation info) is now sent twice, greatly reducing the impact of packet loss on gameplay. This increases bandwidth by around 5%. (Explanation: if a packet is lost it takes a while before the game can know this. The game waits with resending until it knows the packet is likely lost, which results in lost data on a really bad internet connection getting a very high delay. Now important data is immediately sent twice, so even if the packet is lost, another packet comes in immediately after that also has the data.)
-Improved throttling

Modified bot difficulty
We want to remove as much bot cheating as possible. With the new improved AI’s the bots are a lot smarter and don’t need to cheat that much anymore, so we have removed most of the cheats. In some leagues the bots won’t cheat at all and in the lowest leagues they even get negative cheats. So this is quite the improvement. The full breakdown on botcheats is as following:

Practice/custom games
-Difficulty 0: really dumb, 3x as high cooldowns, items 3x more expensive, 15 seconds OtherSkillCooldown, never buy utility items, don't buy any upgrades in first 5 minutes (bothandicap1+2)
-Difficulty 1: much less smart, 2x as high cooldowns, items 2x more expensive, 5 seconds OtherSkillCooldown, never buy utility items, don't buy any upgrades in first 3 minutes (bothandicap1)
-Difficulty 2: less smart
-Difficulty 3: maximum smartness, 19% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2)
-Difficulty 4: maximum smartness, 35% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2+3)
-Difficulty 5: maximum smartness, 55% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2+3+4)

Online
-Leagues 7-9: maximum smartness, 2x as high cooldowns, items 2x more expensive, 5 seconds OtherSkillCooldown (bothandicap1)
-Leagues 5-6: maximum smartness
-Leagues 3-4: maximum smartness, 10% lower cooldowns (botlevel1)
-Leagues 1-2: maximum smartness, 19% lower cooldowns (botlevel1+2)

OtherSkillCooldown means that if a bot uses skill 1, skill 2 goes on cooldown, and the other way around. So Froggy cannot do tornado and dash immediately after each other.

Bots
-Bot difficulty, changed see design notes above
-Bots don't respawn quicker anymore
-Bots don't deal increased damage against turrets anymore
-Bots don't receive extra max health

General
-Blind has been changed.
-Shop music now starts at a random position in the song for more variation
-Particle forces have been tweaked to make particles move less far. This especially fixes particles blowing several screens away after Coco’s Ball Lightning explosion.

-If an ally or enemy makes a triple kill, it no longer displays “Source” instead of his name
-Made the error message clearer when trying to play splitscreen with a controller that is not logged in to PSN
-Fixed that some buttons and menus were visually stretched
-Fixed that sometimes the controls configuration menu mixed up which controller is which player
-Fixed that creating a game sometimes caused the game to freeze for several seconds (this issue still exists when joining an existing game)
-Fixed that when re-joining a match with a splitscreen group not everyone automatically got the same character and upgrades as before

-Fixed that muting sometimes did not have any effect until several minutes later

General balance
-Air max values of Ayla, Gnaw, Derpl, Swiggins are now showing the correct value in the description
-Killing spree bonuses for killing Penny, Vinnie, Genji, Swiggins, Ted McPain, Skree and Sentry now work
-The scoreboard now takes into account when a player has lost Solar due to being killed. Previously the scoreboard would show a too high Solar amount because Solar loss on death was ignored there. Important: this makes the difference between teams look bigger in this patch even in cases where it is the same as before!
-Minimum respawn time increased by 3s (8s total now with 5s camera movement)
-Maximum respawn time reduced by 5s (25s total now with 5s camera movement)
-Turrets now have 15% reduced health.

Removal of solar items
"Some Solar items have been removed from the game because they felt unfair and didn’t require the player to play the game like they should be playing. Items replaced are: Flashy Glasses, Solar Magnet and Solar Tree. Read more at the specific upgrade note."
-Solar Tree is replaced by Wraith Stone
-Wraith Stone costs 155 solar
-Wraith Stone increases healing by critters by 200

Killing Spree Ending
We increased the combined bonus Solar that a team gets for killing someone that's on a killing spree (3 kills without dying). The killer gets a bit less and the rest of the team gets more as it is mostly a team effort to take down such a strong opponent.
-Killing Spree bonus gold given to killer is reduced from 40 to 20 solar
-Killing Spree bonus gold now also goes to teammates, 20 solar for each teammate

Ayla
-Fixed an issue where you could use rage to fly out of the landing area
-Rubberband Ball, tooltip now displays Movement Duration instead of Duration, to clarify what time is bound to what effect
-Ion Blowtorch's, tooltip now explains you deal extra damage if enemy Awesomenauts with 40% health or less are close, instead of saying wounded Awesomenauts

-Super conductor, attackspeed reduced from 200 to 160
-Super conductor, price increased from 170 to 180 Solar per stage
-Shock, damage is increased against turrets from 80% to 100%

Sentry
"Basically Sentry is one of the strongest nauts in the game at the moment and he excels at being a tank, in our opinion his sustain was a bit too much with the lifesteal on tactical vest, that’s why we nerfed it a bit also the damage reduction shield of microfilm was a bit too much. The idea of Sentry was to make him tanky but his main survivability must come from his teleport beacon, which requires skill to time correctly instead of just plain health/shield/lifesteal. So we buffed the cooldown of beacon by 25%. Lastly we did some changes to counter intellligence cross, although we liked the original idea on paper, practically it felt clunky and gimmicky to detonate the mines. With the turrets being able to counter outranging we did some changes to long range attacks counter intelligence is one of them, but you will find other changes in the patchnotes, machine gun range for instance that got buffed for to the same reason."

Swiggins
"Swiggins is definitely the ‘naut with the most changes this patch, and you probably going to love the complete overhaul on the way anchor drop now works. A lot players complained about not being able to pick up the anchor when you want instead of the automatic return of the anchor after a set amount of time. With the new system you can decide when you want your anchor back, creating new ways for Swiggins to play instead of the hook & drop combo. You can throw down your anchor and get the movement speed increase to get into the action, wait for the best opportunity to get your anchor, recall it and hook, and if you planned it correctly you can drop right after that. Also losing the anchor to get away and don’t have to worry about a returning and slowing anchor you can safely run away and recall your anchor when needed. Treasure lotery map was a really crappy item and with debuff immunity on it, hopefully will make it more attractive in fights against strong teams with cc’s. Bovinian skimmed milk now adds amplify damage which is going to make teamfights a lot more interesting, we put the old speed increase from Bovinian skimmed milk on Krill biscuits, because we liked the upgrade but it fits better in that row, it should also give some incentive to divert from the cookie cutter damage build. Last thing, the double glazed royal porcelain was an upgrade we didn’t find very suiting for Swiggins, so we went with a chain utility item for it instead."
-Anchor drop, the anchor will now stay on the floor until the cooldown has run out. After that you get a new skill (anchor recall) that when activated returns your anchor to your hand. When you touch the anchor when anchor drop is on cooldown the anchor recall skill becomes directly active. If you pick up the anchor before the end of the cooldown you will still need to wait until the end of the cooldown to throw another anchor drop.
-Drop anchor, duration of the chain reduced from 4s to 3s

Ted McPain
"Over the past few patches we have tried to make stimpack better, but overall the skill was lacking enough uhmpf to get picked over shot upgrades and airstrike. This is the reason why removed the self inflicting damage on stimpack to remove the downside of the skill, obviously this made the skill a no-brainer with the short cooldown, so we increased the cooldown so give players more choice when to use the skill, instead of just activating it after every cooldown. With the longer cooldown it made sense to bring back the full clip angel wing toilet paper and to balance the removal of selfdamage on ammo weekly we increased the price a bit. Armpit shaving cream could not stay the damage reduction obviously so we went with a shield instead. Puffed spider eggs was an underused item and doesn’t really fit shotgun ammo theme so instead went with an extra shell to increase your burst with the shotgun and with the side effect of increasing the stimpack duration while holding the machine gun, to make stimpack work better with machinegun mode and reduce the pain of having to wait on the gun switching animation. Grenaide pour homme, was one of the worst items in the game, very underused and we did a revamp as well to a short stun pulse to give ted either a better escape or a great opener."

Vinnie & Spike
"Overall Vinnie & Spike have been the character(s) with the highest winrate in the game for a long time now. We think he is not overpowered though but there were some concerns that the pricing of his items were a bit too cheap, giving him early access to endgame strength, this is the reason why we nerfed a bunch of items we think were a bit too cheap and did some small damage nerfs here and there. Also the range of his main gun was a bit too much, and made poking at enemies a bit too easy. Mammoth sock was worthless at 1 stage so we combined that one into 1 item and last but not least, the beloved double dive found its way back. This time we replaced the rigged casino games with something more appealing the double dive, big difference with the old double dive is that this one reduces the damage of both dives with a flat amount to be able to make it not too strong."

PS4 patch 1.2
28-10-2014
Discuss here!

Note that DLC will go into the store either today or tomorrow depending on the region, so you might not be able to get new characters right away.

NEW character: Sentry
Sentry is a robot built for infiltration, fooling enemy troops by mimicking anything from an umbrella to a phone booth. After re-activating aboard the Starstorm and finding it overrun by hostile mercenaries, Sentry chose to join them undercover. Biding his time to exact revenge, gathering enough Solar to buy a very serious tank. One with a shark printed on the front!
-Warbots from the X-58 line come with a high powered photon mine launcher.
-Black Hole Sun: Enables a damage collecting black hole that can be placed with a second press, pulling enemies toward it and dealing the collected damage.
-Teleport Beacon: Sentry deploys a beacon to which he can teleport. Sentry deals a damage dealing pulse at arrival.
-Standard warbot energy thruster, for short leaps in combat.

NEW character: Skree
Skree, the powerful but superstitious techno shaman!
-Shoot lightning from your mechanical rod!
-Summon a robotic wall that blocks movement!
-Shoot a spinning blade, that stays in one position for a limited time. You can place it and pull it towards you!
-Skree floats on a swirling set of blades, by holding the jump button he can stay on the same altitude in air!

NEW skin: Giga Sentorii (for Sentry)
Giga Sentorii is the combination of the five Galactic Turbodinopowerzords: Tyrannozord, Galactozord, Electrozord, Fourswordzord & Grammarzord. Handcrafted by the elite Zurian battle team known as the Power Strikers, Giga Sentorii is only called upon in the most dire of situations. The Giga form is therefore rarely seen on the battlefields. This DLC contains a custom skin for Sentry X-58 in Awesomenauts, and comes with a fully customized voice set!

NEW skin: Skreeletor (for Skree)
In the deepest of evil lairs, the infamous villain Skreeletor can be found trying to turn his dreams of universal conquest into reality. Having found hints of a powerful artifact known only as 'the Golden Weedling', he will do everything in his power to locate and claim this galaxy-conquering tool as his own. The only obstacle in his path is a small tribe of He-Mon'grahs from planet Skrultor Prime trying to obtain the very same artifact. This DLC contains a custom skin for Skree in Awesomenauts, and comes with a fully customized voice set!

NEW: Brazilian Portuguese language support
Thanks to the help of the awesome Brazilian community all texts in the game have been translated to Brazilian Portuguese.

NEW: Particle forces
Certain skills will now affect certain particles around them. For example, Ayla’s rage bubble will now pull sparkles and smoke towards it. Effects have been added to: Sentry black hole, Froggy dash, Clunk explosion, Derpl nuke explosion, Ted McPain shotgun, Ayla rage, Yuri timebubble, Vinnie & Spike dive, Penny pounce and Coco ball lightning.

Network
-Massively reduced bandwidth and packet count used by the game. The exact results vary depending on the gameplay situation: the less opponents are in view, the stronger the effect. Bandwidth has been reduced by between 35% and 50%. Packet count has been reduced by between 20% and 65%.
-Fixed that quite often premades did not end up with the entire team in the same match
-Increased AFK timers from 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes for not pressing any buttons and from 2.5 to 3 minutes for not interacting.
-Removed network throttling entirely. "Throttling" means sending less if the connection is bad. Although throttling reduces network errors it seems like it also makes the game feel more laggy, so we are removing it now to see whether this makes characters warp less. We also think throttling might not be as relevant anymore now that general bandwidth usage has been reduced so much.
-Fixed that the "players met" feature of the PS4 was not filled in by Awesomenauts

General
-Fixed that the game crashed when playing several splitscreen matches in a row (DOH!)

PS4 patch 1.1

NEW CHARACTER: PENNY
This character is sold separately as a DLC. Everyone can play against Penny, but you need to own the DLC to play her yourself.

Honorary Star Scout Penny Fox is on a personal quest to rid the galaxy of all evil. In pursuit of these lofty goals, she has traveled all over the worlds to collect weird aliens and put them in jars for her private collection. During her

latest travels her scooter broke down in the Raki system, forcing her to scour for spare parts on the nearby starstorm station. It is there that she found a mysterious robotic claw, which would lead her to the adventure of a lifetime!

Pounce
Consume all charges to charge forward, knocking back enemies you come in contact with. Each charge spent increases range and damage.

Energy pulse
Consume up to 4 charges to shoot a piercing energy pulse that deals damage and amplifies the damage affected targets take for a short duration. Each charge spent increases the damage and damage amplification

Claw
Penny strikes with her claw awarding a charge when hitting an enemy. Max 4 charges.

Leap
Being super agile, Penny can leap up and perform a double jump.


New CHARACTER: TED MCPAIN
This character is sold separately as a DLC. Everyone can play against Ted McPain, but you need to own the DLC to play him yourself.

Ted McPain was one of the great heroes of the first AI Wars, a long time ago. Long after his eventual heroic demise, he lived on as he became the star of various video games: Ted McPain I through XVII, Ted McPain: Zombie Blast, Ted

McPain vs. Evil Ted McPain and Ted McPain Unicorn Dance Karting. Now Voltar managed to re-materialize Ted. The Ted McPain that appeared, though, was missing his pants for unknown reasons.

Airstrike
Call in an ion cannon airstrike for maximum damage.

Stimpack
This stuff hurts, but stimpacks make Ted go berserk, enhancing his attack speed.

Weapon Switch
Ted can alternate between his shotgun + Stimpack setup and his Assault Rifle + Airstrike setup

Shotgun
A heavy hitting short range area of effect weapon that has a limited ammo capacity that slowly regenerates bullets

Assault Rifle
A medium range spray of bullets!
