Update history

Patch 2.8.0
  • Damage reduced from 45 to 40
  • This is to address the "one-shotting" of our fellow Striders, an unintentional result in Patch 2.7.0 when we tuned their health.
Patch 2.2.0
  • You can charge your heavy melee attack when sprinting again, setting you once more on a warpath to unbridled mayhem and fury
Patch 2.1.0
  • You can sprint while charging a melee attack
  • Your sprinting speed is however reduced while charging a melee attack
Patch 1.4.0
  • Improved general fluidity and responsiveness of the heavy melee strike, so delivering very hard head bonks should be a smoother experience
