### Unique cabin ‘Steppe Spider’ of epic rarity

Spyder drew a sketch shortly after returning from the mission that brought him notoriety. And the masters of the Brotherhood decided not to deny the hero, and they were curious to see what would happen.

And it turned out to be a surprisingly strong and comfortable design.

## Game Modes

### Raids

#### Siege

* All types of guns mounted on towers have their explosive damage resistance reduced by 30%.

## Factions

### Steppenwolfs

* Now, when reaching reputation level 13 with the ‘Steppenwolfs’ faction, the player additionally receives 2 ‘Armored triple slope’ items.
* When the player reaches reputation level 15, he gets 1 more ‘Armored triple slope’.

## Parts

### Clarinet TOW guided missile launcher

* Missile explosion radius increased by 25%.
* Missile flight speedt in the first phase is increased by 33%.
* Missile flight speed in the second phase increased by 38%.
* Missile turn speed increased by 10%.
* Missile flight time reduced by 33%.

*Developers comment:*

*‘Like many players, we have long wanted to return the poor TOW to form. We did not like that the TOW was used at low PS, where it was used to destroy small beginner cars in one hit. The change in the system of explosions allowed us to solve this problem and simultaneously made it possible to improve the characteristics of the TOW, so that it could become more efficient and more convenient to use at high PS.’*

### AT Wasp

* Rocket flight speed increased by 10%.

*Developers comment:*

*‘Because of the missile's ballistic trajectory and low speed, it was difficult for the players to use the Wasp at medium distances.An increase in flight speed will make the rocket's trajectory less flat, which should facilitate precision shooting for players.’*

### Plasma emitter ‘Synthesis’

* Turn speed reduced by 10%.
* Plasma flight speed reduced by 10%.

*Developers comment:*

*‘Initially, Synthesis was conceived as a weapon for medium-range combat, between shotguns and machine guns.Reducing turn speed should make Synthesis less efficient than shotguns at short distances, and a decrease in plasma flight speed should not allow Synthesis to compete on equal footing with machine guns at long distances. In the end, with these changes, we want to bring Synthesis closer to its originally intended role.’*

### GL-55 Impulse

* Projectile explosion radius reduced by 25%.

### Grenade launcher ‘Retcher’

* Projectile explosion radius reduced by 25%.

### Cricket 1M

* Rocket damage increased by 20%.

*Developers comment:*

*‘With the introduction of the new system of explosions, changes were made to all guns with explosive damage.As a result, the effectiveness of some guns has changed more than we expected. Changes in explosion radius of grenade launchers and increased Cricket damage should make them more balanced with respect to other guns.’*

‘Auger’, ‘Buzzsaw’, ‘Druzhba 2’

* Increased melee damage contact area.

*Developers comment:*

*‘We slightly increased the contact area and tweaked the collision for melee weapons. This will increase usability and potential damage of these weapons.’*

## Miscellaneous

* Improved various surface hit effects.
* Improved a number of text strings.

## Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug where chat lines could be coloured in different colours.
* Fixed a bug with icon colours in raids.
