RAPID ASSAULT CAMPAIGN Begins: July 31st @ 12:00PM PDT Ends: August 7th @ 12:00PM PDT For those that already have the Manticore, here’s another opportunity to take it for a spin! Prizes are awarded at the end of each run, with a Mastery run that’s able to be repeated three times. Note that this campaign has updated the Cold Snap turrets to deal Penetrative damage.

An additional Forsaken Mission will run in the meantime. [Visual] Premium gift costs appeared incorrect in game but were correct in the Facebook purchase screen. [Visual] Greta's Inferno Dragon reduced in scale on World Map. [Visual] Added missing timer on Base Activity when using R&D. [Crash] Replica bases with an excessive number of duplicated buildings were causing the battle server to crash. These bases have been removed from the replica base set. [Retrofit] Reinforced Chromium Armor (Special) incorrectly listed in a Retrofit group. Removing it will not impact its performance as it did not receive a benefit from being in that group. [Combat] The Phlogiston Launcher II fails to trigger a shockwave. [Research] Creating Advanced Systems in the Outpost has no timer. [Other] Additional minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
