- NEW CONTENT: Edge of Doom map (Night variation) is now enabled for Escape and Co-op Escape.
- Tweak: renamed Escape map "Outpost" to "Expansion Zone", because it had the same name as Story Chapter 2.
- Improvement: HUD radar now has a dark background for better visibility.
- Improvement: Story Mode player level cap increased from 18 to 25.
- Improvement: Escape mode - scorpions popped into view at the first cave when they spawned.
- Improvement: moved an annoying cliff in Story Chapter 2 that got in the way of the camera.
- Improvement: increased player visibility by adding an additional point light to the main flashlight. It shines on the character and surrounding area (subtle).
- Improvement: Doomed Mode, removed some bridges that made it more difficult for enemies to reach you.
- Fixed: having the "Frienly Fire" perk will no longer make you immune to the crash site ground fires in Story Chapter 1.
- Fixed: additional checks to deal with lost / out-of-bounds enemies so that players do not get stuck during combat.
- Fixed: issue where the Space Ducks were randomly dying in Doomed Mode wave 6.
- Balance: doubled the spawn rate of Space Ducks in Doomed mode so that you don't stand around waiting for them.
- Balance: Escape mode - Elite enemies now don't spawn until wave 2.
- Balance: with auto-heal now in place, players ended up with too many spare Nano-meds and almost never dying from enemies. Nano-meds now healt 50 points instead of fully restoring health.
- Balance: reduced elite enemies in Escape and Co-op Escape.

Release Notes - v0.2021.062
- Improvement: if you have a Nano-med (health) in your inventory, it will now be used automatically at the moment that you take a death blow. This means you will no longer die from an enemy hit if you have any spare Nano-meds.
- Difficulty: The first two loot items you pick up at the crash site are now always a Nano-med (health) an an Oxygen Refill. This gives you some extra guaranteed survivability from the outset.
- Difficulty: Reduced the maximum simultaneous enemies of several battle encounters in Chapter 1 to ease the difficulty curve. The final base battle is still as before (not easy!).
- Networking: fixed a very rare case where health of players or enemies might go out of sync due to the timing of invulnerability.
- Fixed: Zappy bot will now move away from the player when getting too close (closer than attack distance). This prevents Zappy from overlapping with the player and just standing there doing nothing.
