Cascading Failure Update 8

Have you ever wanted to be treated nicely by your Engineers? Maybe even repair your Mechs and Turrets at a ridiculous pace? Well now the Heavy Engineer Armor set is here. A tanky support armour set designed around keeping a minimalistic defence alive a lot longer than it should. Able to place mines to stop enemies traversing sneaky side paths, or even to surprise enemy troops as they move towards a nearby resource point.

This is the tankiest armour set that we have put in and as such you will be treated the same way as other heavy armour sets where you are repaired instead of healed. Medics can still heal you but the effect is minimised just with other heavy suites.

Along with the addition of the new armour we have made some other changes around the respawn system in the Wave Defence Game Mode. You will now be able to complete bonus objectives, destroying an enemy fortification, to gain lives and respawn dead allies. There is also a monetary reward for completing these objectives.

We hope that you are able to find a good place to add this armour set into your matches and look forward to joining you all on the battlefield.
