• Neutron Cannon Weapon – Travelers can now research a brand new Multi-Tool weapon—the Neutron Cannon. This charged energy weapon can be used both as a rapid-fire projectile launcher and also charged up to release a deadly, close-range barrage of destruction. The core blueprint, and associated upgrades, are available on the Space Anomaly. Upgrade modules can be found at space stations and other sites across the universe.
• Varied Drone Weaponry – Sentinel drones now have access to a range of weapons, including rapid fire lasers, close-range scatter blasters, and long-distance explosive mortars. These devastating barrages can blow holes in the planet’s surface, reshaping the battlefield on the fly by creating new obstacles and cover.
• Shut Down Planetary Sentinels – Players may now temporarily clear a planet of Sentinels. Defeating the Sentinel forces that are summoned on maximum alert level will now suppress any additional Sentinels across that planet, for a limited time. In addition, players who are able to locate and breach a Sentinel Pillar can activate its shutdown process and lock down the Sentinels without having to engage in such a large battle.
• Royal Jetpack – Travelers who undertake the Exobiology Expedition and document its strange and exotic creatures will be rewarded with an equally exotic new jetpack customization.

• Anomalous Sentinel Upgrades – Defeated Sentinels can now be harvested for strange materials. These shards of otherworldly glass contain many valuable items, including a new class of anomalous equipment upgrades.
• Heavy Weapon Animations – Larger Multi-Tools now sit correctly in the player’s hands, and heavy weapons are fired with more weight, their power now reflected in the player’s firing animations.
• Faster Warping – Teleporting between bases and space stations within the same star system has been significantly optimized, allowing for rapid travel between planets.
• Holographic Energy Shields – Sentinel drones may now deploy mobile cover in the form of a temporary energy shield. These holographic barriers serve as protection against incoming fire, but players can also take advantage of this shelter and turn the tables on the Sentinel forces.
• Sentinel Summoner Drone – Elite drone combat units are accompanied by a Summoner Drone, capable of beaming in reinforcements mid-battle. While of low threat on their own, these advanced Sentinel units can quickly turn the tide of a fight and overwhelm an unwary player.
• Deploy Stun Grenades – A new Multi-Tool upgrade, the Paralysis Mortar, is available to research aboard the Space Anomaly. This support weapon launches electrical energy spheres that explode and stun any entities caught in their radius.
• More Companions – The maximum number of companions has been increased from six to eighteen, allowing players fond of rare animals and/or genetic manipulation to build an even larger and more diverse collection.
• Improved Enemy and Creature Navigation – The underlying navigation of both planetary creatures and Sentinel enemies has been significantly improved, bringing better and more realistic behaviors, as well as allowing Sentinels to hunt the player within buildings and in caves.

• Improved Walker Combat – The targeting and mobility systems of the Sentinel Walkers have been significantly improved. In addition, their armor system has been reworked so that leg armor no longer has to be removed in order to damage their critical Walker Brain. Instead, destroying its leg armor will buckle the Walker, giving time to attack other vital systems while it recovers control.
• Advanced Combat Upgrades – A significant range of new combat effects and upgrades are now available to research. These include modules to add fire damage over time to the Pulse Spitter, add a stun to the Blaze Javelin’s energy beam, and a general upgrade to cause increased damage to stunned targets.
• Probe Sentinel Secrets – A substantial new series of missions awaits players who currently oversee their own planetary settlement. This story will take players on a new adventure, working with the crew of the Space Anomaly to probe the deepest secrets of the Sentinels…
• Build Your Own Drone Companion – Travelers who work with Iteration: Tethys, Specialist Polo, and the other Traveler Iterations aboard the Space Anomaly to complete these new Sentinel stories will have the chance to capture, reassemble and reprogram their own robotic companion in the form of a friendly Sentinel Drone.
