Additions:
- New level building systems implemented. Players will notice a large increase in the variety of rooms as well the addition of some verticality within the rooms themselves. This is the first implementation of the new system and more variety will be added over the next updates. This also makes the levels harder to navigate and players can expect a mini-map to be implemented in an upcoming update.
- Homing Rifle: A new rifle weapon which fires a single homing round which tracks towards the closest enemy it can see.
- Stun Baton: Shocks all nearby enemies on-screen and stuns them. Combos great with shotgun, pistol and other melee weapons.
- Cleopatra Rex, Royce Hall and Kassidee have idle VO prompts which will play if they don’t do anything for 15+ seconds.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed issue some players were experiencing where they were unable to use the Backpack with a keyboard.

Known Issues:
- Sometimes posters on the wall will be cut off by other walls. This is a product of the new level building system and will be addressed in future builds.
Bunker Punks Ver. 0.5.1
This is a small update for bug fixes and interface changes requested by the Steam Community.
Special thanks to everyone who reported a bug or provided a suggestion. You are all essential to making Bunker Punks a better game.
Changes:
- When changing key bindings, each binding can now only take one input. If keys are mapped multiple times, previous bindings will be removed. This is to allow people to easily map RMB to move forward.

Bug Fixes:
- Opacity for backpack items on the post-game popup has been corrected.
- Bug fixed which prevented players from selling weapons which were not their last weapon.
- Yes/No popups are now consistently laid out across all screens.
Three New Guns and More in Bunker Punks Ver. 0.5
Three new guns and a bunch of different level decoration objects have been added as well as some small UI adjustments and bug fixes.
Additions:
AutoPistol: This is your bullet hose. It’s not accurate and not too great at range, but if you use it in short bursts it can really help thin out a crowd of drones.
Sawed Off Shotgun: The most damaging of the shotguns. Up close, it can chew up a Proxyman in one shot, at a distance it can clear out a group of drones with a spray of buckshot. It’s slow to reload, so pick your shots carefully.
Plasma Cannon: A quick tap of the fire button sends off a shot, but you can hold it down and increase the size, AoE and damage of the shot. It has very little ammo, so be selective when firing off shots.
Level Decoration: Every level type has at least two new world objects, ranging from batteries and gas containers to potted plants and TV stands.
Toxic Acid: Proxyman vats and toxic barrels will leak toxic acid which will hurt you if you run through it. We aware, that blue goop on the floor isn’t just for looks anymore.
Changes:
- Louder alert noise for the RollerBomb, so it’s less likely to sneak up and surprise you.

- Buildout Popup is no longer bypassed if all of your loot has been purchased at the Wasteland Merchants.
- Post-level popup has been reformatted to fit ultra-wide resolutions.

The other big change is that punks no longer heal when you finish a raid. Damage is persistent and must be healed with visits to Doc Mercy, with pickups or with upgrades to your bunker. You will want to rest your punks so that they can recover while others do the fighting.
