"This week's update contains some cool new features, some important tweaks and several bug fixes."

- DRG Update Page

 released a rework for the Gunners "Lead Storm" Powered Minigun, deadly electro crystals in the Crystalline Caverns, and Team cameras. It was released on March 23rd, 2018.

New Features
These are new major content introduced during this update.

Gatling Gun Rework
There’s a been a lot of talk about the Gatling Gun being too weak especially on higher difficulties. We agree, and we have made a bunch of tweaks to it:
 * Starting Ammo Capacity changed from 1800 to 1600 rounds. It is now fed ammo continuously from a single, upgradeable ammo drum - no more reloading!
 * Overheats slightly faster - tweaked from 10 seconds of continuous fire to 9.
 * Overheating is more punishing - time to cool down raised from 8 seconds to 10
 * Upgrades reworked: Upgrades involving ammo and magazine increase have now been made to only focus on the magazine size. First upgrade originally gave you +400 bullets to max ammo it has been changed to +400 to magazine size. Second magazine upgrade will give you a total boost of +400 bullets where it before only increased the magazine size. Resulting in the Gatling Gun packing impressive 2400 bullets when maxed out!
 * New Tungsten Bullet upgrade for Gatling Gun has been added allowing you to boost the damage 25%. A mandatory upgrade for players with affinity for Extreme difficulty.
 * Added smoke effect to make it more obvious when the gatling gun is overheating.

Team Cameras
The first iteration of Team Cams - Keep an eye on your teammates are doing while you are incapacitated. Now it is less of a downer being down!

Electro Crystals
Deadly Electro Crystals have been added to Crystal Caverns. Don’t get too close - they pack a punch!

New Space Rig Content
A temptingly tantalizing button called “Gravity Recalibration” has been activated on the Space Rig. Management will likely frown on employees abusing it - but it’s so big and red...

Traversal Tools Prohibited In Drop Pod
Platforms (and Supply Pods) can not spawn/ attach to drop pod anymore. We get it... some of you had fun filling up the Drop Pod with platforms, but Management reminds you that Platform Concrete is notoriously hard to clean out!
