The most noteworthy updates this time around are definitely the power-ups given to the laser blade IA-C01W2: MOONLIGHT and the Multi Energy Rifle 44-142 KRSV (Karasawa). Moonlight now has increased charge attack power and cooling, and also takes less time to commence cooling, making it easier to handle.

As for the Karasawa, up until now, the quirky weapon’s number of rounds had been its most limiting factor, but this spec has now been doubled, taking the total number of rounds from 80 to 160. This will make it easier for players to do no-charge rapid fire, which is superior in terms of DPS (Damage per Second). On the other hand, the Ammunition Cost for charged attacks has also been doubled, so charged attacks will still require you to keep track of things carefully.

Moving on, the Laser Blade Vvc-770LB was also improved in terms of cooling, weight and EN load, making it more efficient. The Laser Shotgun WUERGER/66E was updated with increased charge attack power, shorter charge time and improved cooling, offering a lot more freedom in how it can be used.

In addition, the performance of two types of Plasma Missile Launchers and various special launchers have been improved, and a number of arm parts and reverse joint parts have also been fortified, making this regulation almost entirely centered on improving/increasing performances. Other detailed items of the update are as follows.
