Update 322 is now live on Steam! This update is primarily a maintenance patch. Over the last few months lots of new systems and features have been introduced to the game and with those additions have come some small issues and strange new bugs. Hopefully this update will address those reported issues and get us back on solid ground. The dev team continues its work on the UGC conversion from Steam Workshop which is slated for 323. Always more to come, including something very special that could come with 323 as well, so stay tuned! Changelog Gameplay

• Improved sentries slightly (contributed by Nin)
• Prevent beeping noise while attacking and for 1.5 seconds afterwards
• Speed up barrel swivel when it has a target so you're not getting shot at by a sentry facing the other way
• Add a delay after shooting at a target before starting to swivel and scan again
• Always show tracers from sentries so that players better know where they are getting shot at from
• Sentries will prioritize players over other things, and will shoot at the closest players. Previously, they would prioritize anything that wasn't a cyst.
• Hydras do not block each other’s line of sight anymore (contributed by Katzenfleisch)

Tweaks / Improvements

• Tweaked some marine pickup icons to appear more stylistically consistent.  (Thanks Sinakuwolf!)
• Metabolize is no longer a switchable weapon.  This means you cannot accidentally switch to it any longer, and can only use it via the MovementModifier key.
• Drifter Eggs can now be issued orders that will be carried out by the drifter when it hatches.  Before, drifters could only be issued rally-points.
• AI movers such as ARCs and movable alien structures like Crags would move on top of players, sometimes trapping them.
• Tweaked the infestation shader slightly to better hide the hard edges of infestation circles.
• Don’t show team resources for the Ready Room team at the scoreboard.
