The second patch for “Firebird” is now live!

Quality of Life Changes

• Added a button allowing players to save a loadout for each soldier. 

• Added a toggle button allowing players to unequip all gear from a soldier or load their saved loadout.

• Added a button that can automatically equip all saved loadouts for soldiers assigned to a mission (provided the required gear is available).

• Added Time of Arrival display for player aircraft and updated functionality for the Timers Panel.

• New tactical UI now displays possible AoE deviation zones for grenades and other arced weapons.

• Added an Archaeological Probe filter to the Vehicle tab in Manufacturing.

• Improved German localization thanks to community member Bartleby.

• Added localization for several previously untranslated terms.

Balance Changes

• Haven starvation rates reduced.

• Eased restrictions on where Training Zones and Elite Training Zones can be built in Havens, resulting in factions constructing more of them (especially Synedrion).

• Grenades are no longer perfectly accurate and now have slight trajectory variation.

• Mutoid Sonic Blast WP cost reduced 10 → 4.

• Scylla Sonic Blast range decreased 20 → 13, with reduced cone radius.

  • Range reduced 1700 → 1650

  • Charge time reduced 13 → 12 seconds

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed smoke materials that made units behind smoke very hard to see in free aim. 

• Fixed an animation glitch after taking Return Fire damage when stepping out of cover.

• Updated several prop colliders to more accurately match visuals and prevent bullets from seemingly stopping in mid-air.

• Second attempt at fixing a bug where some Alien Bases did not generate active missions.

• Mutoid Sonic Blast cost is now correctly displayed in the Edit Unit screen.

• Fixed incorrect rounding of resource costs required to replenish gear.

• Fixed a bug where focusing on a base would change the currently selected aircraft.

• Fixed Manufacturing tab buttons not working correctly with controller free cursor mode.

• Fixed a bug where it was possible to build additional Mist Repellers in Phoenix Bases despite no benefit.

• Fixed a visual gap in an Ancient Site parcel.
