This thread will be opened for discussion tomorrow after the PTS update goes live. --- Download the Test Server client from this thread after reading the Test Server Policies: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps...st-test-server-policies-download-link.114038/ --- Seeking to increase the options and variety of implants available, we've gone ahead and added 7 new implants for the battlefield. Check them out below! New Implants

• Take a Walk
  • Your movement is not impeded when underwater. Weapon behavior is unchanged. MAX units can equip.
• Juggernaut
  • Melee attacks knock enemies away a short distance. MAX only.
• Living on the Edge
  • When your health drops below 20% your accuracy increases by 5/7/10/12/15% for 5/5/7/10/12 seconds.
• Rapid Response
  • While wielding a beneficial construction module your sprint speed is increased by 7/10/13/15/15%. At max rank, the unequip times of beneficial construction modules is reduced by 50%.
• Air Drop
  • Upon exiting a vehicle Jump Jet recharge rate is increased by 7/7/7/7/10% for 5/7/8.5/10/12 seconds. 20 second cooldown after triggering. Light Assault only.
• Karma
  • Each time you revive an ally a charge is added to Karma. At 30/27/24/20/20 charges, your next death allows you to self-revive once at 50/50/50/50/100% health. Redeploying or using an equipment terminal will wipe your current progress. Combat Medic only.
• Overcharge
  • While overshield is active your primary weapon's bullets will now pierce through one infantry target before stopping at the cost of 30/25/20/15/15% of your overshield uptime. Heavy Assault only. At max rank, this will also affect the bullets of secondary weapons.

UI Changes

Bug Fixes

• Mining and depositing cortium will again provide experience.
• Oshur meltdown alert should no longer be able to start while the continent is locked.
• NS-D Helios will correctly play its reload animation in first person when switching to alternate fire mode with under 50 ammo in the magazine.
• Fix for intermittent flicker on certain shield shaders.
• Fix for deployed vehicles that could still display despawn timers in some situations.
• Fix for loyalty gain notifications always showing +0
  • Note that this was a display issue only. Players were earning loyalty as expected.
