Defiance Midsummer Mutiny Update to PTS

Quick deploy to PTS at 6:00 PM PT or so today. This update includes the new Heaven Sent expedition and the Midsummer Mutiny event:

Midsummer Mutiny

Take on Darkmatter and their Bulwarks in Major Arkfalls during the Midsummer Mutiny Event. Stick around to the end of a Major Event and catch the fireworks show. You might even get your own Firework Spike or titles unique to this event which include, Sol Survivor, Zenith Crusader and Midsummer Knight (Patron only). Contribute to the fireworks show or start your own by acquiring your own novelty Firework Rocket Launcher, collect all 8 in game colors from different Reputation Vendors around Paradise. Complete your Tarr Family Daily and Weekly Contracts for a chance at the Emancipator Jackpot weapon.

Expeditions

A new expedition is available: Heaven Sent. This expedition is the interior of an Arkbreak, and is the most difficult yet! You can access this expedition from Alcatraz island like all other expeditions

• Expedition loot has gone through some changes. Rewards at high tiers have increased, and new itemization tiers have been added so rewards will continue to improve through Tier35, round 10.
• End bosses in expeditions are now more generous with loot. In addition, they’ll always drop at least one cyber rig or cyber chip.

Bug Fixes

• The damage infector bugs deal now increases with the power rating of the infector that was used.
• The animation for the reloading of a BMG now syncs up with the duration of the reload.
• Removed the errant manufacturer damage and recoil bonus from the randomized Solstice Blast Rifle.

As always, thanks for testing, and keep in mind that these notes are not final and subject to change.
