Update 2.0 for Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr is officially out and looks to be the biggest so far. Additionally, the patch is offered free for all owners of the game.
The latest patch brings a number of changes to some of the game's core features like combat and the progression system, among others. This update also expands the game by adding new features like a new level cap, new items, and even a co-op campaign mode.
These are some of the changes brought about in this new update:
- Combat
- Combat flow has been drastically improved.
- After using movement skills, players should be able to use their skills as soon as they arrive at their new location.
- All character animations have been sped up such as grenade tossing, weapon switching, along with all weapon animations.
- Primary Skill Global Cooldowns have been reduced to 0.5 seconds.
- Movement speed of all classes has been adjusted.
- Turn speed of all classes has been sped up.
- All skill and projectile effects have been adjusted to match the faster animation speeds.
- Combat flow has been drastically improved.
- Leveling
- The maximum level cap has been increased to 100.
- An experience bar has been added to the Battle GUI.
- Itemization
- The Inventory is now available during missions.
- Power rating has been removed from the game completely.
- Items now have item level.
- A player's drops are determined from player level.
- Item drops can range between five item levels below or above the player's current level.
- Maximum item level is 90.
- Example: If you are level 80, items can drop from a range of item level 75 and 85
- The Relic items have been vastly expanded: More than 200 Relic enchants have been added to the game to further aid build variety.
- Each Crusader and Assassin weapon received 4 new model types, while Psykers received 8 new weapon models.
New additions to the game include the items tiers:
- Archeotech Relic
- Relic enchants on this item are fixed, and other enchants are rolled onto these items from a fixed pool as well. You won't be able to reroll these items, but a good roll on an Archeotech Relic should be more powerful than on a regular Relic item. It is advised to reroll the secondary enchants on these items to support the Relic enchant better.
- Ancient Relic
- These Relics have 4 pre-defined, powerful enchants that cannot be rerolled via Modify.
- Ancient Relic enchants will have to be unlocked first - the unlock conditions will be listed on the item.
- These items have secondary enchants that will always support the primary Relic enchants.
- Morality Relic
- Daemonforged or Holy enchants are rolled onto these items depending on the player's Morality status and levels.
