Toxic Commando Major Update Adds New Difficulty and Makes Balance Adjustments
1.😈 INSANE Difficulty 😈
Prepare to suffer! This difficulty setting is impossible to pass without a maxed-out player progression.
We added rewards for completing the game on Insane difficulty as well.
Changes we made to the “Insane” difficulty following the Public Test Server
-
Slightly reduced damage dealt by Roamers on Insane difficulty
-
Lowered health points for Roamers on Insane difficulty
2.Prestige Weapon system update
Attachments and Tiers are no longer removed when upgrading a Weapon’s Prestige; only the Weapon’s level is now removed when upgrading a Weapon’s Prestige.
3.Respawn system update
The moment the first player dies, a random Revival Pod is selected for him from those located between 100 and 160 meters away. If there are no such Revival Pods, the nearest Revival Pod is selected.
This change was made to remove situations where players had to cross a significant part of the map to rescue their teammates from the Revival Pod.
