• Reenabled Dimetrodon
  
• Reenabled missions and mission info UI panel
  
• Reenabled Echo audio cues for missions/Survive
  
• Reenabled movement tagging for NPCs on receiving damage from player
  
• Reenabled additive hurt animation on health damage for NPCs
  
• Reenabled basic pack behavior for certain NPCs
  
• Reenabled Survive mode
  
• Added Spawner Pools for randomized spawns - Some spawns are still fixed for mission purposes, and most spawns are varied based on time of day
  
• Fixed material and mesh issues with M416 rifle
  
• Fixed/added certain animation sound triggers for NPCs

You can opt in to the Public Test Branch via the Betas tab, found by right-clicking Apex Hunters in your Steam Library and selecting Properties. Simply click the dropdown under the Betas tab and choose "earliestaccess - Public test branch." You can return to the current main build via the same dropdown by choosing "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" instead. Going from one to the other will trigger an update as Steam fetches you the desired branch.

As always, you can leave your thoughts in a comment on this post, or discuss the latest State of the Apex in the dedicated SotA discussion thread.

Good hunting, Field Agents.
