What is toxin? Does it mean that some guns will now have a lingering poison effect for a certain amount of seconds after the bullet's initial hit or is it like some extra damage as your shooting?

The first option is the correct one! :-)

Hi everyone! We got ready some useful information concerning weapon features so that you are totally ready for the Epic Forge update release! :-)

EPIC FORGE FEATURES

BASIC FEATURES
- CALIBER: The base damage increases by X%

- QUICK FINGERS: The reload speed increases by X%

- ARSENAL: The clip capacity increases by X rounds

- EFFECTIVE: The Critical Hit Probability is X%

- LETHAL: The Critical Damage multiplier is X%

- AUTOMATIC: The firing rate increases by X%

- AFFILIATION: You will get X% more Talent Points, up to a maximum of 100%. This bonus will apply to the rest of the members of your team when you play as a Raider. The radar's detection radius increases by Y meters.

- TREASURE HUNTER: You will get X% more Weapon Parts, up to a maximum of 100%. This bonus will apply to the rest of the members of your team when you play as a Raider. The radar's detection radius increases by Y meters.

- BOUNTY HUNTER: You will get X% more Gold, up to a maximum of 100%. This bonus will apply to the rest of the members of your team when you play as a Raider. The radar's detection radius increases by Y meters.


ADVANCED FEATURES
- AUTO-RELOAD: Reloading the weapon is X% slower, but 1 bullet is generated in the clip every Y seconds.

- OVER-RELOAD: If you reload with a full clip, next will have X more rounds. That reload is Y% slower.

- ATTRACTOR: When you shoot and kill an enemy carrying Aleph, there is a X% chance of receiving the Aleph, instead of it falling to the ground.

- TREACHEROUS: Your effective damage is reduced by X% compared to the base damage. In exchange, your treachery damage is Y% of the base damage if you shoot an enemy in the back.

- BERSERKER: Your effective damage is increased by X% compared to the base damage. In exchange, you receive Y% more damage when shot.

- ECHO: Your effective damage is reduced by X% compared to the base damage. In exchange, when a victim has gone 1 second without being wounded by your shots, they receive echo damage equal to Y% of the effective damage you have done to them in the past Z seconds.

- PARAMAGNETISM: An indicator shows magnetic north (different in each game). Your effective damage is reduced by X% compared to the base damage. In exchange, if you shoot North, your paramagnetic damage is Y% of the base damage.

- ANCHORING: Your effective damage is reduced by X% compared to the base damage. In exchange, your targeting damage is Y% of the base damage, if over Z seconds go by without you wounding another enemy (who is still alive) by shooting.

- ANTIMATTER: Your effective damage is reduced by X% compared to the base damage. In exchange, if your victim has over half of their initial health, your antimatter damage is Y% of the base damage.

- TOXIN: Your effective damage is reduced by X% compared to the base damage. Your victim receives toxin damage equal to Y% of your base damage for the next Z seconds.

- FAUST: When you shoot and kill an enemy, a faust is generated with a radius of X meters around your position, which affects only you. If you are inside your faust, your regeneration is turned off and your health degenerates by 30 points each second until your health points are reduced to 1. In exchange, your effective damage increases by Y% compared to the base damage if you shoot from inside the faust.

So I watched the last Stream on YouTube, I often cannot catch the streams when they are live so I cant ask my questions then. However, It seems that you (MSE) plan on doing some serious changes to the weapons and how they work as a whole. On top of that, you gave us the ability to have multiple guns with different set ups built on them. So my question is, is there any possibility in the future that we (the players) will get at least 1 extra loadout slot? Its already a challenge in the current game to have just 1 loadout, especially, if you play raider and antagonist. Having 2 free loadouts instead of just 1 will make it so much easier to flip between favorited builds.

I know this is how MSE makes money, however, I'm offering just 2 free loadouts. The 3rd or even 4th (if there is a 4th that is) can be bought with mercury points. I have been hoping for this for years and I know I'm not the only one. Just curious if MSE has thought about giving this to the community?

Hey, ya! I asked Vela about it and he told me two things:
- We'll be sticking to a maximum number of 3 loadouts per character.
- When the Epic Forge update kicks in loadouts will cost a reasonably low amount of Gold instead of MercuryPoints.

I appreciate the response, but what makes the game most inaccessible for new players was not the aleph.  It was the passives/poor matchmaking (getting matched with veteran antags as a noob raider), and confusing inconsistent MMR.

Yes I agree, getting aleph from the elites did feel magical.  New COD is coming out soon and is going suck players from ALL other games, including spacelords.  I tried the beta and it felt amazing, even though I don't really like those mindless no-strategy type of games.  If I was you I'd make my experimentation decisions and all prioritization decisions wisely, as this will be a new and powerful dynamic in the gaming business (Black Ops 4 was a huge letdown, there is a big hunger for new COD). 

This is coming from someone who would like to see spacelords reach it's maximum potential.  Best wishes.

Thank you for your advice.

Accessibility is a global issue that's not related to a single element in the game, but to several different ones (control, tutorial, Aleph & ammo management, gunplay, melee..etc.).
That's one of the reasons why, as you suggested, we are also removing player level-tied passives from the game and have been working on improving matchmaking as well.

I'm sorry I deleted your posts, guys. I had to add a few replies made by myself beacuse we are adding some extra info.

Thank you Ojuel for this! I do have a question regarding the new changes... All of my weapons that I already have forged...will they remain the same or will everything I have be erased? I believe in the patch notes the blueprints I already have will remain but what about those that are already forged?

You get to keep both the BPs you currently have and the weapons you already forged.

What will happen to blueprint rewards now? Since after the update they'll be the free option to craft your weapon instantly with no costs
Will it be harder to get blueprints?

Blueprints now can only be earned as part of the monthly rewards. Daily rewards now grant you weapon parts cases instead.
