Let’s see what’s inside Strike Vector’s recent 400MB patch.

♠

The first big patch for Strike Vector, titled “Endless War” by the developers, just got released and promises better server stability among other things. Fellow Vectorians may also notice that the shotgun and the swarm missiles are less ridiculous (especially at long range) now.

For details on the current patch, please see the edited patch notes below.

The next big update after Endless War has, according to the developer, “a new map, a new mode, and other features” in store for us, plus “maybe other surprises.” Oh! yes, please!
