Dear OverRiders, Greetings!

Thank you for your unwavering passion and feedback! After intensive development, OverRider Version 0.6.0 is now officially live!

This update focuses on improving the early-game experience and in-run build depth, along with a wide range of new content and system overhauls. Here's what's new:

Core Rework: 「Override-Cores」 & 「Enhancement-Chips」

• Nearly all \[Override-Cores] and \[Enhancement-Chips] have been redesigned, featuring updated effects and improved synergy.

• 30+ new \[Override-Cores] have been added, offering greater build diversity.

• 30+ new \[Enhancement-Chips], including a powerful new category: \[Pristine Chips], which can drastically shape your run strategy.

• The full build pool now includes over 140 tactical components, including \[Combat-Exensions] — providing greater freedom and strategic possibilities!

Difficulty & Encounter Adjustments

• New Difficulty: Hard Mode — a fresh challenge for experienced players.

• The previous “Elite Zones” have been replaced with new “Trial Zones”, including:

  • Trial: Override

  • Trial: Block

  • Trial: Deflect

  • Trial: Prime

• Standalone Shop Zones have been removed. Shops are now fully integrated into the pre-Boss areas for a smoother game flow.

Reward System & \[Neural Network] Upgrades

• Reward distribution has been overhauled with a weighted system, ensuring rewards are more aligned with your current build path.

• New: Reward Refresh Mechanic — unlockable via the \[Neural Network] interface, giving players more control over in-run options.

• Several \[Neural Network] modules have been adjusted for better balance and synergy.

Boss Overhaul

• New Boss: \[Miss Crimson] now replaces the old \[Swam Squad] as a major encounter.

• Former \[Wasps] are now elite enemies, while \[Hornets] appear as common units in later stages.

• Updated Boss Order:

  1. Yokozuna

  2. Roxane

  3. Miss Crimson

  4. Ritsuko Nitta

Override Core Activation

• All equipped Override Cores now fully activate upon ONE triggering, removing the need for multiple Override uses to power them up.

Skill Module Adjustments

• The 「Skill Module」 Unlocking system has been removed. All character skills are now available from the start of a run.

• 「Trait Upgrades」 are now character-specific upgrades, and may appear in reward chests at the end of each area.

• 「Evolution Modules」 remain unchanged in both mechanics and availability.

Character Enhancement System Returns

• The Attribute Enhancement System is back!
  You can now upgrade special stats to permanently boost your combat capabilities across runs.

Other Improvements

• Enemies now have a chance to drop Data-Coins upon defeat.

• Talent: “Coin Drop Rate” has been adjusted to increase additional drop chance.

• Drone AI Behavior has been improved — drones now auto-target and attack enemies without manual input.

• The original “→ + Skill” input has been replaced with a Secondary Skill Button:
  ▸ Default Key: K (Keyboard), RB (Xbox Controller)

• New \[Pristine Chips]: Hyper Reassembly — allows players to quickly switch between their original body and acquired body using the secondary skill key. (Requires talent ELBIS mkII to unlock)
