I almost won 
I like the new floor, the final boss was hard because I didn't know where i was going and there were a lot of enemies. As you can see ^ the bipod isn't as good any more which you said in your patch notes, and it's definitely not good for the act 2 boss because you have you move far down the tunnel. I will say that boomerang, and the ice glyph, with the power that pulses freeze are still good, I also liked how when we completed a defend mission you were rewarded with an artifact. I can't remember if that was there before but I like it, all in all I really like the new update, I can't wait for the other character to be added. Good luck with your game, I will continue to play it.
