Echo Loadout

Echo Presets
You will enjoy having multiple loadouts or presets ready for your resonators. This is extremely valuable as some fights require different builds!

Camera Feature Upgrades

Camera Upgrades
The camera will have new idle poses in Version 2.1, and players can expect more in the following updates! It will also have new filters, intensity features, and horizontal and vertical movement!

Full Ray Tracing

Full Ray Tracing will make its debut into the game on 2.1! Thanks to Nvidia, players can now enjoy the game with better and more accurate lighting!
