The Cycle Frontier gets a new update, patching plenty of issues that have been brought thanks to player feedback. Most of the weapons in the game are getting extra tweaks, such as increased damage, so hopefully, it combats the spongy feeling when shooting an enemy. Update 2.2 falls in favor of the players, and you can check why exactly below.

Furthermore, this update addresses the faction missions, which, thanks to this update, got adjusted to feel less grindy. Judging by this, they should not require as many items as before, which will lead to faster completion. Therefore I’d suggest you check out your current progress on some of the quests once you get in the game.
