This major update to Zero Front focuses on increasing the functionality of armatures and their weapons. All wrist mounted weapons can now be used by the supporting arm of a two-handed weapon. To get the most out of this feature, a new series of armatures supporting grappling hooks that will pull you towards the target have been added. Try out the Engineer or the Hero to jump immediately into grappling.

A significant change has also been made to many melee weapons. Most one-handed melee weapons have had the heat cost of their basic attack removed. Alternate attacks and two-handed weapons are unaffected by this change.
