Ace of Spades: Battle Builder - SallyTheButcher


It's time to upgrade your options with this Hurt + Heal DLC pack for Ace of Spades: Battle Builder. Adding 2 brand new classes of hero, as well as new weapon load-out options for all other classes, you can really add some punch to your creative shooting.

TWO NEW CHARACTER CLASSES
  • The Specialist: A run-and-gun mercenary with a shady past, this contract killer is not to be messed with. Get in quick, eliminate the enemy then get out even quicker. The Specialist's Fully Automatic Shotgun is the opposite of stealthy, and his Grenade Launcher really brings the thunder. Sticky Grenades and Chemical Bombs complete this highly toxic weapons arsenal.

  • The Medic: Heal up yourself and your team with a powerful Med Pack. Don't make the mistake of thinking the Medic is an unarmed nurse though - this battlefield doctor knows how to soldier their way out of trouble with a high-fire-rate LMG and tough Riot Shield to absorb damage.

NEW WEAPONS FOR EXISTING CLASSES
  • Commando: NEW Assault Rifle
  • Marksman: NEW Automatic Pistol
  • Engineer: NEW Mine Launcher
  • Miner: NEW Blocksucker

Get the pack and get in game to Hurt & Heal!

Ace of Spades: Battle Builder - SallyTheButcher


New Weapons
Brand new equipment options for the original 4 classes!

Commando



Parachute – Love rocket jumping? Hate the fall damage? Always dreamt of gracefully flying through the sky? Then suit up with this top-of-the-range parachute & make your enemies fear the air above!

Press SPACE again after jumping to open the Parachute.


Marksman



Radar Station – Do you find yourself looking down scope and finding no one? With the Radar Station even the loneliest Marksman can meet new people. Simple drop one of these little gems for a short duration of global map visibility.


Engineer



Disguise – Taking camouflage to a new extreme – be the block, wear the block, you are the block!


Miner



C4 – Timing not your strong suit? Pick the C4 (complete with detonator) for precise demolition & have a blast!


Balancing Changes
  • [Marksman] Increased the ‘aim down sights’ time for Bolt Action Rifle

Bug Fixes
  • It is no longer possible to place floating light blocks on the map so as to make you largely untouchable.
  • Fixed a graphical bug where entities (e.g. ammo crates) would turn grey if there were any falling blocks.
  • Spectators are no longer able to kick remaining players.
  • An issue with privacy settings in lobbies not carrying over to game has been fixed. Players can no longer join your game once the session has started and is set to ‘Invite’, for example.
  • Fixed crashes on Player Profile UI screen.
  • Steam Workshop: Subscribed maps are now only re-downloaded if the client's version is out-of-date.

Performance
  • Various performance optimisations have been made.

Localisation
  • Typographical corrections made across existing localised languages.
