Ahoy Commanders,
We have a loaded Status Report sailing in, so let's get right to it.
Homebase Status Report - Initiate!
With the addition of the Bouncy Husks modifiers, the Super Husks modifier has been removed from Scurvy Shoals.
It's here Commanders! The long awaited upgraded R.O.S.I.E. has shipped to a Homebase near you. Let's throw it to our expert weaponsmith, Clip, to get a detailed look at what R.O.S.I.E. has to offer now!
Hey Commanders, sorry for the long wait on this upgrade. We really wanted to make sure that we got R.O.S.I.E. working just right for our hard working Constructors. Let’s run down all the changes that have come to R.O.S.I.E.
I hope you enjoy our improvements Commanders.

Homebase Status Report - Initiate!
Scurvy Shoals returns with a new modifier on April 5 (8 PM ET)
The Scurvy Shoals is back, along with the treasure filled Pirate Llamas! This high sea venture is going to feel a little different this time around, as it will introduce a new modifier and bring back a returning one.Bouncy Husk
Things will get quite turbulent with the new Bouncy Husks modifier! With this modifier, Husks, Huskies, and Mist Monsters all have increased health, but they are more susceptible to knockbacks, especially from ranged and melee weapons. Send those Husks back into the Storm that they came from!Super Treasure
Time to start looting like a real pirate! With the Super Treasure modifier, treasure chest filled with valuable loot will periodically drop after defeating enemies. Keep in mind Commanders; the tougher the enemy you defeat, the more likely a chest will drop from it. Great enemies mean great rewards!With the addition of the Bouncy Husks modifiers, the Super Husks modifier has been removed from Scurvy Shoals.
R.O.S.I.E. has been upgraded
It's here Commanders! The long awaited upgraded R.O.S.I.E. has shipped to a Homebase near you. Let's throw it to our expert weaponsmith, Clip, to get a detailed look at what R.O.S.I.E. has to offer now!Hey Commanders, sorry for the long wait on this upgrade. We really wanted to make sure that we got R.O.S.I.E. working just right for our hard working Constructors. Let’s run down all the changes that have come to R.O.S.I.E.
- No more overheating: Commanders are now free to fire away with R.O.S.I.E. as our technological advancements have allowed us to bypass the troubles of overheating.
- Now that overheating is no longer an issue, the Cold Lead perk will now allow R.O.S.I.E. to hold 20% more ammo.
- Better from a distance: The damage fall off to enemies at a distance has been greatly reduced, adding more combative versatility to R.O.S.I.E.
- Quicker activations: After initial use, it would take Commanders quite a while to be able to summon R.O.S.I.E. again. That issue will be reduced as the R.O.S.I.E. cooldown has decreased by 33%.
- A new shield: One weakness of using R.O.S.I.E. is that it would leave its operators vulnerable to ranged attacks. Well their security is now improved with the new anti-projectile shield that will form around R.O.S.I.E. whenever it is deployed.
- Commanders will have the option to sacrifice the shield which will trigger a large knockback. This is especially useful when hordes of melee Husks get a bit too close to the turret.
I hope you enjoy our improvements Commanders.
