New Gamemode: Endless Kuva Survival!
Endless Kuva Survival brings an Excavation/Defense twist while maintaining the intensity of Survival. This gamemode offers players a much requested avenue to acquire Kuva outside of the Siphon/Flood mechanic, and on the aptly named Kuva Fortress! Players, both Public and Solo, now balance risk and reward as they sacrifice their Life Support Towers for precious Kuva.

The current Kuva awarded per successful Kuva Harvester is set at 200. A plethora of test runs and acquired stats showed that 200 Kuva sat safely in between Kuva Siphon and Kuva Flood missions. This value is not set in stone - we are eager to read your feedback from your own playthroughs!

How it works:

• Taveuni on the Kuva Fortress is now the new home of Endless Kuva Survival.
• A marked enemy carrying a Kuva Catalyst will spawn per Life Support Tower.
• Picking up this Kuva Catalyst and simply walking up to an unactivated Life Support Tower, transforms the Life Support Tower into a Kuva Harvester. Now you must protect this Kuva Harvester for 1 minute (as indicated on your UI) as enemies will now logically and forcefully attempt to destroy it. If they succeed in destroying the Kuva Harvester, you will lose out on both Kuva and the Life Support Tower.
• Once the Kuva Harvester is complete, 200 Kuva is awarded to everyone! Completed Kuva Harvesters also give a small percentage of Life Support to aid in your literal Survival.
  • Worth noting that this 200 Kuva is awarded the same way as Kuva Siphon/Flood missions, as opposed to a physical Kuva kool aid bottle drop that was proposed in the Dev Workshop as. Meaning, you do not need to return to the Tower to physically pick up your Kuva, it is instantly awarded (still affected by Boosters and Smeeta Charm).

Kuva Fortress Survival Improvements:

• Removed cramped and maze-like Kuva Fortress tiles that felt unsuitable for an Endless Survival with an Excavation/Defense twist.
• Added a repurposed Fortress Defense tile to Kuva Fortress Survival with improved enemy navigation and traversible areas.
• Improved enemy spawn flow and navigation in the Kuva Fortress Survival tilesets.

Kuva Guardian Changes:
In light of all these changes surrounding Kuva, we felt it necessary to make improvement tweaks to the Kuva Guardians. When faced outside of The War Within quest, their mechanic required to turn them vulnerable has been met with some confusion.

As an overall change, Kuva Guardians are now easier to turn vulnerable, but will become tougher to kill once they are.

Previously vulnerability flow was:

• Operator Void Blast to stun, then Void Dash when stunned to disarm their Kesheg and turn vulnerable.

NEW vulnerability flow:

• No stun state required. Operator Void Blast OR Void Dash to disarm their Kesheg and turn vulnerable.

General Kuva Guardian Changes:

• Increased base Health from 300 to 400.
• Slightly increased the Fire Rate of their Twin Rogga .
• Guardian Health type is now in line with the rest of Grineer.
• Weaker against Heat and Viral but more resistant to Gas.
• Added a pulsing red glow around Kuva Guardians for a few seconds to depict when they are vulnerable (similar to the Teralyst).

Grineer Commander Switch Teleport Changes:
We've all been in that sudden situation when you're Switch Teleported into an angry mob of Butchers happily thrashing at your face. Questions of 'how did I get here?', 'who done did that to me?' and 'why me, Lotus, why?!' are typically asked to oneself. The lack of warning or indication that a Commander Switch Teleport is about to occur can leave one confused and distraught, which is why we've made some changes to improve not only indication, but also ability to avoid!

• Increased the Commander Switch Teleport cast time to 2 seconds instead of being almost instant, and added a casting sound indication.
• Both Grineer Commander and his target will glow orange during his Switch Teleport cast.
• Bullet Jumping or dodge rolling can now break you out of the Switch Teleport. Previously the only way to avoid being Switch Teleported is to kill the Commander while he is casting.
• Switch Teleport now delivers a Knockdown Status debuff after being teleported (unless Modded to avoid or minimize Knockdowns).

General Changes:

• Survival Life Support Towers no longer have interval spawn scaling (90 seconds + 1 second per pillar), instead they will just spawn every 90 seconds.
• More Visual Effect intensity changes to reduce visual noise from:
  • Quanta Energy cube explosions
  • Teralyst ability FX
  • Vomvalyst ability FX
• Improved sound differentials between body and head hit notifications.
• Removed option to Purchase/Gift items if there is a new Update available to download. This often resulted in errors due to mismatched versions trying to communicate.
• Upon taking damage, Kubrow Dens will now only spawn 4 Kubrows to defend their Den instead of an infinite amount. This fixes a potential for 'infinite Kubrow spawns' that has reared its head before.
• Improved AI navigation on the Grineer Earth tileset by allowing AI to wade through water properly.
• €¢ Changed the /offline Chat command to /dnd (Do not Disturb) to more accurately describe the mode. 'Do Not Disturb' mode will now auto decline game Invites and auto reply to private messages to indicate that you are unavailable (disable with the Chat command /normal).
