The big balancing update is live for MENACE! The goal here is not to make all items, perks, OCIs, & characters feel equal. Some are intentionally situational. Instead, the goal is to level pick rates and enable build variety. store.steampowered.com/news/app/243…

MENACE uses a chassis-based modular system. Each vehicle chassis defines armor, hit points, and a selection of Light, Medium, and Heavy weapon slots that can be equipped with a vehicle-mounted weapon of the appropriate size in any combination

In MENACE, Space Pirates hit fast and hard, favoring reckless assaults over precision. Their weapons are scavenged and barely reliable, but when fired in bursts, they deliver raw firepower. Light jeeps and heavy trucks get them into combat quickly, though they’re exposed while disembarking.

In MENACE, Scavengers are the backbone of any pirate raid. They rely on sheer numbers and makeshift rifles to pin down enemies, tossing frag grenades to clear defenses. They resort to improvised RPGs when facing armor, trusting raw firepower over precision.

In MENACE, the Pirates’ Flame Truck brings destruction up close, covering wide areas in fire to flush out entrenched infantry. Durable but lightly armored, it carries a dangerous weakness—if hit hard enough, the flammable liquid inside can set off a catastrophic explosion.
