Special Changes:

-

• All Beacons Damage Coefficient 2000% => 1300%.
• - This is to remedy Captain's much higher burst damage with his utility skills.
• All Beacons now refresh upon starting the Teleporter Event.
• Healing Beacon renamed to Remedy Beacon.
• Remedy Beacon Healing 10%/s => 7%/s.
• Remedy Beacon Radius 10m => 24m.
• Remedy Beacon Movement Speed 0% => 20%.
• - Healing Beacon was always one of the fastest outscaled beacons, this gives it a really good niche for mobility and healing.
• Shocking Beacon renamed to Thunder Beacon.
• Thunder Beacon Damage Coefficient 0% => 500%.
• Thunder Beacon Fire Rate 0.33/s => 0.25/s.
• Thunder Beacon Radius 10m => 24m.
• Thunder Beacon Shocks for 5s => Stuns for 1s.
• Thunder Beacon now deals an additional hit for 100% damage every second, in a 24m radius and a proc coefficient of 0 on top of the "burst" written above.
• - Nerfed the stun to not make it as raindead, but added a decent bit of damage to compensate. The single target damage isn't great, but it's a good horde clearing tool during teleporter events.
• Resupply Beacon renamed to Artillery Beacon.
• Artillery Beacon now grants a 25% attack speed and 10% cooldown reduction buff in a 20m radius on top of having 3 equipment charges.
• - This still isn't the greatest beacon, but it can increase the DPS and proc rate of your allies quite a bit.
• Hacking Beacon Radius 10m => 16m.
• Hacking Beacon Speed 100% => 150%.
• - I feel as hacking isn't really powerful, since time doesn't matter all that much. It's just fun, didn't have any ideas for it.
• - Overall, I opted for more powerful, limited use beacons. I was inclined to try out this way, as Admiral had already done something different.

I've also added a respawn check to prevent having no beacons but it seems to not work sometimes....

hobo jam,es

also holy the lysate beacon code is actual spaghetti
