New in Defiance 2050 Online Client 15.10.2018 - Trouble in Paradise (Oct 29, 2018)

TROUBLE IN PARADISE:
The Grid have arrived in Paradise! Learn about these fearsome new foes with an all new mission chain that will take you on a journey to discover how these new foes came to be, and begin Ark Hunters down a path to defeat them.
These new missions also come with new data recorders, pursuits, and rewards for completion!
CRUSADER IS HERE:
The Crusaders have come to paradise to help slay the Grid threat. Unlock the all new Crusader class, and smash your enemies with Hammer time, or call down a Meteor from the Ark Belt to obliterate everything in your path.
The new Crusader class can be purchased from the Defiance store (along with an exclusive, limited time outfit), or from the Hunter Commendations vendor with in-game currency
Level this new bruising class, meant for up close and personal combat
Complete the Grid mission storyline to earn additional currency to purchase the class!
All players who purchased the Ultimate Pack will have the Crusader Class immediately
ARKFALL CHANGES:
As the Grid threat ramps up, so too do the Arkfalls in Paradise. Both Major and Minor Arkfalls have gone through some significant changes, now working off of a wave system where enemies will spawn based on how quickly you can take down a previous wave.
More and more enemies will spawn the faster you can take them down
Complete each wave in time to progress to the next. The more players around, the more enemies you can take down!
See how many waves you can take down before the end of the Arkfall!
SCALING CHANGES:
Scaling has been slightly altered to allow for higher power rating players to deal more damage the larger the gap between them and their enemy is. Higher power rating players will notice a substantial difference in damage when fighting enemies that are much lower power rating than them.
WEAPON SKINS:
Look sharp while you demolish the new Grid threat. A weapon skin system has been added next to the appearance menu in the loadout screen. These weapon skins can be collected in game, or purchased through the Defiance store
Once you have collected a weapon skin for a specific weapon base, it is permanent and can be added to any matching weapon type
Change and view the look of your weapon at any time!
Limited time weapon skins are released for this update:
Special Halloween themed skin “The Butcher” will be here during Hulker Hell. Some rare versions of these skins will also glow!
Added a vendor that sells specific weapon skins for Shards, which can be obtained from duplicate weapon skins
Added alternate color outfits for the Crusader and Demolitionist classes to the Hunter Commendations vendor. You must have purchased the Crusader or Demolitionist pack in order to be able to purchase these outfits.
Special Grid skins have been released for the Trouble in Paradise update. Collect these special Grid variants for your favourite weapons!
Limited time Ammo mods have been added to the Defiance store that will give your weapons a blood splatter effect when they shoot!
HULKER HELL IS BACK:
Hulker Hell is back and better than ever. For 3 weeks, participate in Hulker Hell arkfalls to reap special, limited time rewards
Plaguers and Hulkers have invaded paradise. A new Major and Minor arkfall variant have been added. Take down these monstrosities before they consume Paradise!
Complete arkfalls for special Hulker Hell only rewards, including 3 brand new prototypes that will only drop from Hulker Hell Arkfalls
A new reputation vendor has been added: Paradise. Complete daily and weekly contracts to obtain reputation to directly purchase special Hulker Hell rewards, including prototypes and weapon skins!
NEW PROTOTYPES:
