Exit the Gungeon V2.0 Update Notes

Welcome to SteamAH, Exit the Gungeon 2.0 has releaseed on Steam now. here is the V2.0 update details.

 

Game Rebalancing

We’ve done a huge rebalancing pass on the game, including making gameplay more challenging and runs longer. Among other changes, we:

• Overhauled the enemy spawn system, increasing enemy/room variety, level length, and difficulty

• Redistributed enemies and waves across all elevators and levels

• Increased enemy health across the board, and increased projectile speed on later levels

• Rebalanced pickup, chest and powerup spawns (increasing drop variation and protecting against duplicate item drops)

We’ve also overhauled the combo system, making it easier to reach higher tiers and affect player power progression

• Damaging enemies and dodge rolling through bullets award more combo points

• Blanks reduce combo level by half instead of wiping it out

• Combo no longer degrades over time during boss fights, and takes longer to degrade in combat rooms

• Jammed boss and enemy probability increases as your combo raises (similar to curse in ETG)

Enemies/Bosses

• Added several new enemies and brought back Jammed enemies!

• Reworked many enemy behaviors, with an eye to increasing difficulty and making enemies more interesting

• Improved enemy effects and animations

• Reworked every boss in the game, including new attack patterns, animations, effects and difficulty increases

• This is doubly true for the final boss, though we have further improvements planned for him in the future as well!

• Updated some boss names and localization

• Boss intros are now skippable (yay!)

Elevators/Rooms

• Added one entirely new elevator, several elevator variants, and improved many existing elevators

• Increased dodge roll distance on flying elevators

• Added a second floor to some elevators

• Visual improvements to all elevators, including totally new wall variations and backgrounds

• Over 100 new rooms with far more spawning variety, including support for larger rooms

• New room art for every floor

NPC’s:

• Several new NPC interactions across all NPCs

• Conversation flow improvements across many interactions throughout the game

• Translation QA across much of the text

• New quest for Bello which rewards a new item

• Daisuke now appears in the Gungeon and can give you rewards based on your combo level, and has a new quest (which rewards a new item)

• NPC quests in general now give you the reward on the run you turn it in, rather than the one after

Other Features/QOL Improvements:

• Improved visual status effects (fire, freeze, transmogrification and others)

• Improved debris of all types, including casings, clips, hit effects, and more

• Added new hats, improved hat placement on all characters/skins and fixed several hat-related bugs

• Beast Mode Lv. 2 is now available in the options for players that have completed Beast Mode

• Fully rebindable controls

• A wide variety of improvements and bug-fixes for the tutorial

• Auto-Fire Charged Weapons: Added an option to auto-fire charged weapons once they’re fully charged (this is a little less efficient than manually timing the charge, but helps in hectic situations)

• Added transparency to projectiles in cases where guns/items produce a large number or projectiles, or very large projectiles

Items:

• New item, Spiked Boots: Jump on enemy heads to apply damage and bounce in the air

• Many item improvements:

• Amulet of the Pit Lord – Added a cooldown and updated UI to prevent abuse (still good, but no longer broken)

Guns:

• Alien Sidearm – Rebalanced, and added new & improved projectiles

• Balloon Gun – Falling into a pit from the balloon gun popping no longer damages the player

• Gunslingers Ashes – Gunslinger Spirits are now translucent so you can actually see what is going on when you are firing the gun, and fire more often

• Quad Laser – Projectiles are now the correct size (like in Enter the Gungeon), but become transparent after 3 seconds so you don’t fill your screen with yellow squares

• RC Rocket – New Projectile art

• Screecher – New projectile art, functionality, vastly improved effectiveness

• Skull Splitter – Skulls now actually split!

• Makeshift Cannon – New Effects, looks way better

• Improved guns with arc projectiles, like Anvillian, Flame Hand, Grenade Launcher, iCarbine and Mahoguny

And probably many more things that we’re forgetting here…
