    YAY finally, Power Armour Boost Mods
    Added Winter Key-Pack to the ZEN store. This pack include 20 keys, the loyal sidekick Agate, 5 safeguard catalysts and 25 Cybermind's Impression mods.
    Giving a Fenrir with laser sword mods
    This doesn't make sense at all thematically
    The Robot Spider pack with Infernal Supernatural did made sense because the spider can deal poison damage, but Agate doesn't

    ... i do want a Fenrir for my ice shaman
    Nightmare Clarence
    Clarence has been corrupted by Qliphothic forces and his attacks are a little more...toxic. When his health dips he can summon giant mechanical claws that will target players at random.
    and its absolutly Nightmare Retardant along with Clitche E D G Y voice lines
    another reason to play with Voice sound off


    I DO LOVE that the new clarence variations have unique perk-titles
    Added Cyber Katana to the Questionite store.
    Thank you so much for making this weapon available for Laser Swords as well!​​

    Those steam pipe shoulders still need to be fixed. You can even see the size issue in the promotional picture.

    Is the cybermind impression mod going to be available elsewhere? Kinda figured it would end up in the GCR store.

    And now I can look fabulous while running around with the only other acro skin. Well, after my new hard drive comes in anyway.

    Once the Bundle ends and get replaced with a new one, the sidekick will be sold stand alone and the MODS it will be moved to GCR store
    Just what happened with the Spider Sidekick Bundle pack and the Infernal Supernatural mods

    Also I hope those mods drop from Cybermind's alert, it make sense​​

    That new sidekick does look pretty nifty. I could totally see making an ice-themed barbarian character using that, with ice powers and heavy weap...ons... Oh right. Fire. Nevermind :'(

    Winter Steam Bike seems to not have it's basic sound effects on (flying around & Boost).
