On Tuesday the latest patch for Evolve was released, featuring not only the first female Assault Lennox but also a small bonus for loyal players. Balancing adjustments were made, and numerous bugs were fixed.
Lennox, the Iron Maiden
With the nearly 5 GB update, Lennox has been introduced to the game. The good lady has built her own mech from the scrap of Shear, with which she now goes monster hunting. The exosuit offers her several advantages and enables playstyles that distinguish her significantly from the other hunters, such as being unmovable from many attacks and being able to “stick to the monster” for a long time. We reported on her abilities here.
Balancing, Bug Fixes, and a Goliath Skin
The biggest balancing change concerns the time a monster needs to “evolve.” The time window has been reduced from 11 seconds to 9, allowing for faster evolutions and giving monster players the opportunity to ascend to the next phase even in riskier locations.
Those who already own Evolve can look forward to a new Goliath skin. This one is called “Frostbite” and gives the melee monster a blue texture and greenish eyes. The developers want to thank fans for their loyalty with this.
In addition to these changes, numerous bugs have been fixed, including issues that prevented players from finding each other when searching for “Evacuation” matches. You can view a complete list here.
