Say hello to Pro #12, Captain Spark! Captain Spark is the next Commando. There are now multiple pros for each position. Details of how he plays can be found in the update notes and the SMNC Beta User Guide in the SMNC Beta Forums.
The rest of update six focuses on balance and bug fixes. We took major passes on critical shots and damage ramps for all pros. There are also big changes with all melee weapons gaining a lunge on the reload button, turret shields coming back up, reducing the effectiveness of ‘bot tagging’ and healers gaining assists from healing allies that get kills.
