Beacon Patch 2.03

Patch 2.03 is out, adding some performance improvements, new sounds for the Icosatron enemy (laser soccer ball), and other fixes! This will likely be the last minor patch coming out before 2.1 in a couple weeks, which will be the first larger content patch of our early access development including a bunch of new Native faction content.

Balance

• Enemy - Solus Prime: Charge ability range increased so it will use it more often when further away
• Boss - Excavation Spider: Improved beam impact damage so it will hit the player more often when sweeping over
• Icosatron - Decreased max health after fixing lasers harming itself while rolling (Still around the same time to kill), optimized particle effects, and fixed lasers staying active sometimes while in cooldown
