Critical damage and normal damage are separated per enemy for feedback.

- Gunbot Diplomacy Patch 1.01 - 29 May 2025
Hello Gunbotters! As you may have noticed, patch 1.01 is out - the full patch notes can be found here, but a quick summary of the main highlights: The upgrade grid can be viewed at any time now - check your build while choosing your next Module, or change the manual targeting settings on your guns mid-combat! There is significantly more scrap available in the early game, allowing a wider variety of builds to get off the ground properly. The dreaded Dillosaur charge has been changed to give players more time to react. Many weapons have been buffed across the board, and some have also had their cost reduced. Base pickup range has been increased, and there's a brand new uncommon rarity module that gives even more! Your feedback has been invaluable in making these changes! Please keep letting us know what we can do to improve the game, and look out for the first content patch sometime next…
- May 28th 2025 - Patch 1.01.0 - Balance and QoL update! - 28 May 2025
Patch 1.01.0 is here! We included a lot of changes and improvements based on all the feedback, bug reports and data from all of you, so thank you all for playing and letting us know what you liked / didn't like! The main goal of this patch was to add some much needed quality of life updates, explain mechanics in a clearer way and balance out the early game so the player can get their build off the ground better. To highlight the most important balance changes: more Scrap is now available in the early game, and we've buffed many weapons that were on the weaker side. We've also heard you loud and clear about the Dillosaurs: their charge now gives the player significantly more time to react. Our goal was for the normal difficulty to be easier to allow more trial and error - but for the later difficulties (especially Turing Test) to stay about as challenging as they have been so far. Thank…
