StarCraft II’s latest update is now available, and it is focused primarily on co-op. The 3.11 update introduces a new co-op mission called Dead of Night. This is based on the Arcade mode Left2Die and sees players facing “an endless wave of infested monstrosities.” This goal is to survive these attacks at night and then destroy infested structures during the day when enemies are unable to move.
Co-Op Commanders also get some attention with this patch. Three, those who have Hero-spawning masteries, are being redesigned. Others have been changed “in order to make [for] more compelling choices.” Blizzard does warn, however, that some powers have been reordered, so you’ll need to pay attention to see if your normal routine has been disrupted.
The new and adjusted mastery powers are listed below. They include Zagara’s evasion, which gives Zerglings a chance to dodge attacks, and Kerrigan’s Augumented Immobilization Wave, which increases the ability’s damage.
New bundles for sale, improvements for Custom Game lobbies, and various bug fixes are also detailed in the full patch notes here.
