Red Solstice 2: Survivors (PC Steam) Rise of the Demolition Patch Notes (2022 April 28)

Based on community feedback, we have put more life into the Demolition class. We have introduced a new play style which is centred around resource management as we have added a disarm skill. All Demolition players can create explosives on the go now, while disarming any placed explosives. However, any explosives which are disarmed will be 'degraded' to disarmed mines, a type of explosive that works like the minefield skill.

We have also added a new magnetic pulse mine skill on top of the disarm skill to add an extra punch to the Demolition class. Along with the two new skills, we have added more support by giving other skills for the Demolition an amplified explosion buff.

Let the explosions begin!
