Awesomenauts Free 1.1 Patch to Introduce Two New Awesomenauts

Introducing Coco Nebulon and Derpl Zork

Back in May, we caught wind that console MOBA Awesomenauts would possibly be getting not just one, but two new characters in an upcoming free patch. Looks like the information was good, as we recently got word that patch 1.1 will indeed include Coco Nebulon and Derpl Zork, rounding out the Awesomenauts roster to 8 characters.

In addition, the patch will include balance tweaks, as is standard for MOBAs. Check out the full patch notes below:

Patch Notes 1.1
Go Go Robo Power Patch!

New features

Coco Nebulon
Background
Hailing from a psyonic race on Okeanos, Coco is known as the cosmic waveblazer. Describes herself as hot & cool at the same time.

Excerpt from her spacelog: "It's just like, dude, I was cruisin' the galaxy, you know, in this totally tubular space-van, searching for the best cosmic waves man."

Type
Fast, melee, support.

Skill 1: Blaze
Temporarily, Coco's hoverboard leaves a trail of electricity.

Skill 2: Ball lightning
Shoot a ball lightning. Detonate it any time with a second press.

Main attack: Shock
Channel Coco's psycho-electric powers through her unfortunate enemies.

Movement: Ollie
Hoverboard jump, with a chance to do a front-flip. Tubular!

Derpl Zork
Background
Riding his combat walker onto the battlefield, comes Derpl Zork. The nephew of Blabl Zork, president of Zork industries, Derpl lacks his uncle's business-smarts. In fact he lacks any kind of smarts: his IQ is even rated under the level of plankton in the official galaxial IQ test. He loves hunting cats, though.

Type
Medium speed, medium ranged, tank.

Skill 1: Grid trap / Nuke
Deploy traps that will ensnare enemies, locking them in place. Nuke in siege mode.

Skill 2: Siege mode
Transform into a static siege mode, enabling deadly weaponry.

Main attack: Cat shot / Gatling fire
Mew enemies into oblivion by shooting explosive holocats. Fast shooting gatling fire in siege mode.

Movement: Jetboost
Derpl's walking desk has a temporary jet boost. Hold [ABT_FACE_BOTTOM] to ascend!


Prestige
There are now 10 levels of prestige, each with its own unique icon.

General fixes

-Many fixes to the leaderboards. Since rankings were very broken before, they have now been reset, while played/wins statistics will remain in place. New rankings numbers will be around 10,000 instead of around 1,000.
-Several network fixes to reduce the number of Network Errors.
-PS3 only: Fixed a rare crash when a Clunk with very low health who is charging his Detonation skill is interrupted and killed by Leon’s tongue. This only happened on PS3 and only on the server when at least one of the two was a bot.
-Sometimes characters would be slowed as if they were still shooting. This has been improved.
-Players now never get a leave penalty when they leave a match that has no human players in the enemy team.
-Many statistics of items have been changed to show the correct value.

If you missed our review for the game, we gave it a strong 4 out of 5.
