Cosmos Update 2.2.9 - Elemental Power
Update on the Cosmos
Welcome Back Co-Pilot, We have received some intel from our deep space satellites regarding the eradication of multiple Cosmic Rifts in the Zeldari system, seem like the Cosmic Entities are holding off their attack efforts, or maybe losing? we are not sure yet. Here's some of the intel we received;
Increased the Health and Damage spawned by Cosmic Echos in the Vivid Nightmare Rift

Summon Damage has been replaced Laser Damage
All subsequent items, Artifacts and Augments now scale with these new stats,
All weapons now have a specific Weapon Type assigned to them to allow game play diversity
Rift Modififers
In other news our Rift Scientists have been working hard to pull energy from the Rift Core using the Rift Modification device (RMD) and with some success we have been able to pull all different types of energy from from the deeps of the Rift core;
Stable Modifiers now grant Health Regeneration equal to the Rift Energy it requires to choose it
Unstable Modifiers grant Gold, Items and Artifacts based on the type of Modifier chosen
Enemies Of The Cosmos
Our scanners have picked up some new and powerful entities lurking beyond the shadows
New Enemy type "Overlord" will now start showing up after completing 25 or more Rift Events in one rift
Larger and more powerful enemies will now show up sooner due to the increase use of the RMD
Augment Changes
Augments have been a great contention for powering through rifts and progression in the game but some Augments have become over-preforming alot of other augments in the same tier, to this end we have adjusted multiple Augments to match their power levels per tier;
Nerfed Augments [Black Market Augment] Infinite Storage Space [Black Market Augment] Orbital Satellite [R-ION's Level 20 Augment] External Storage Drive
Changed Augments [Black Market Augment] Reaper >> Quantum Core [Naomi's Mastery Augment] Death From The Grave >> Plasmacharger
Artifact Changes
Some Artifacts have not that enjoyable to use, to the point in which picking them is a detriment to your overall progress. These are the Artifacts changed to better match the scaling fun you would expect from a rouge lite;
Advanced Artifact Descriptions
Pressing "Left Alt" brings up the Enhanced upgrade that is achievable through the Enhancer perk or thoughout the mechanics in the rift, The UI for the Enhanced Artifact versions look like this;
Bugs Fixed
Fixed an issue with the Artifact "T441 Auto Upgrader" in which the selections would sometimes roll the same option twice or even three times
