Changelogs

Version 1.0.2.2
- NEW MAP | Firebase Storm, a location from the last Leviathan Mission on a ship from Singleplayer
- ENEMY CHOPPER AI | Increased AI decision making time from, every 15 second -> every 6 second.
- XP Adjustments | Added a change which was meant to be added in 1.0.2.1, which is that for each new prestige you will have to earn a bit more XP to level up. The default "Survivor Rating" remains the same. Only Prestige 1,2,3,4,5 affected.
Version 1.0.2.1
- NEW MAP | Firebase Dagger, 4th map
- EXTRACTION UI IMPROVEMENT | Instead of showing the exact arrival time for the shuttle and the helicopter overwatch in minutes and seconds, they're now displayed in METERS which will go down until 0. The color of the meter and the numbers will change in color as the helis and shuttles closing in.
- EARLY PRESTIGE SYSTEM | After you've reached the max level (50), you can choose to prestige. Prestige rewards will be implemented in a later update but you can prestige your character in advance and you will get all the rewards retroactively when the update drops. There's 5 prestige tiers. | 0 -> Survivor | 1 -> Veteran [I] | 2 -> Elite [II] | 3 -> Master [III] | 4 -> Legendary [IV] | Immortal [MAX]. You will KEEP all of your progress (Credits, Player Level, Collected resources, Difficulty Unlocks, etc) except your Survivor Rating. When you level up your "Veteran" or "Elite" or "Master" or "Legendary" or "Immortal" rating, each new prestige has a unique prestige level up sound instead of the original one. When you reach level 50 for the first time a new NPC will appear.
- LEVEL UP UI - NEW | Level up messages updated
- WarfareHQ QOL | When you start your mission, the pop-up message will show you your desired settings
- Firebase Ghost | Fixed an unique case where you would spawn under the map in some cases and die instantly
- Stealth Killstreak - REWORK | Instead of the continues, wider bombardment, the bombs will be dropped in faster sequences and in a more concentrated radius. 1 sequence happens in every 1.25sec. 3 bomb is dropped every 0.2 second in 1 sequence. In total, 42 bombs will be dropped.
- G.I Unit | Increased initial armor piece health on friendly mech units. Armor piece health will scale simultaneously now with the G.I unit HP when you buy "Killstreak Health" upgrades. This fixes the issue where, G.I Units would sometimes blow up too early because although it's health was high, the armor piece health values were too low
Version 1.0.2
- NEW MAP | Firebase Ghost, 3rd map
- Enemy Chopper | Fixed an issue on Firebase White which made it impossible to target Enemy Chopper's with abilities
- Killstreak Bugfix | Care Package will no longer get stuck in the air on Firebase White
- Extraction Bugfix | Fixed a critical issue on Firebase Giant which made extraction impossible due to the shuttle going to a wrong location
- A-10 Killstreak Improvements | Improved A-10 approach vectors on all maps for better target acquisition and modified spawn points to avoid line-of-sight blockage from large structures, for example on Firebase White the planes will always come from directions where their vision is not blocked by the large building.
- AC-130 Killstreak | Increased shell explosion radius slightly, 550 -> 585
Version 1.0.1.9
- NEW MAP - Added Firebase White, the 2nd survival map
- NEW FUNCTION - Semi-Controller Support | Killstreaks and other new actions added by SW3 now working with controller buttons as well. The only thing left to fix is the new terminals. You can still open them and browse them with a controller, but to select an option you have to use "Enter" on keyboard or click with mouse. Otherwise, you can use a controller.
- Use "Dpad_Down" to open the killstreak menu. If you buy some from the terminal, you will have to use this new menu to call them in
- QOL- WarfareHQ | Added a new setting "Radar Display". You can switch between "Always-on" or "2 second delay". The intended and default behavior is the 2 second delay. However, if you want to make enemies visible in your radar real-time then you have the option to switch that.
- Enemy Chopper AI improvements| Adjusted Enemy Chopper movement logic so now they will try not to move too much above the player, making it really difficult to look up to them at times
- Friendly Helicopter AI improvements | Enhanced helicopter positioning system to maintain optimal line of sight with both player and enemies.
- Friendly Helicopter AI improvements | Added smarter tactical positioning with consideration for attack angles
- Friendly Helicopter AI improvements | Improved helicopter combat effectiveness through better target tracking
- Radar Bugfix | Prevent enemies from appearing on radar after death
- Combat Bugfix | Fixed an incorrect stat on the Praetorian which made it impossible to break it's barrier across all difficulties with weapons/abilities.
- Combat Bugfix | Adjusted incorrect shield regeneration stats on some Cerberus Enemies which made it impossible to break their shield's across higher difficulties with weapons/abilities.
- Combat Bugfix | Adjusted spawn points on Firebase Giant to prevent large enemies from getting stuck in them sometimes
Version 1.0.1.8
- QOL - WarfareHQ - Fast Travel: Added a terminal next to the 2 turian soldier where the shuttle puts you down by default. By interacting with it, you will be quickly teleported inside the main area where you can setup your mission etc, if you don't feel like walking back

- QOL- WarfareHQ - SW3 Global Settings - Added a new POI which opens up a settings menu where you can customize aspects of the mod (HUD Layout, etc)
- QOL - WarfareHQ - Mission Quick Restart - Added a new pop-up message. When you come back from a mission and you open up the Mission Selector, a new message will ask you that, would you like to begin a mission right away with your previous settings, which you can accept and launch a new mission right away, or adjust the settings and continue with a new one.
- This feature will take affect after you've updated to 1.0.1.8+ and finished 1 misson.
- QOL - WarfareHQ - Hackett got 2 new bodyguards behind him
- Gameplay Improvement: A portion of your Grenades will be refilled too when you restock. So now it's (Ammo, Medigel AND Grenades).
- Gameplay Improvement: "X" keybind is no longer used by SW3, instead everything that required to press "X" is now set to "E" for easier access.

Solo Warfare LE3 is a standalone survival mode for Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition that reimagines concepts from ME3 multiplayer as well as from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's (2011) iconic survival mode for solo play.

This mod takes the intense combat and unique gameplay loop from those games and cranks it up to eleven.

Dive into endless waves of increasingly difficult enemies, managing resources and strategizing your survival. The mod introduces a custom progression system, allowing you to level up and unlock new abilities as you fight. But that's just the beginning. Solo Warfare LE3 brings a whole new dimension to the battlefield with its killstreak system. Call in devastating air support, deploy sentry turrets, or even summon a squad of AI-controlled squadmates to turn the tide of battle.

As you progress, you'll face new challenges, including custom enemy types like Cerberus Helicopters and Juggernauts. The familiar foes have also received an upgrade, with expanded weapon arsenals and tactical variations to keep you on your toes.

Solo Warfare LE3 also introduces a Survival Rating system, determining your access to more powerful killstreaks as you prove your combat prowess. Challenge yourself to climb the leaderboards while managing the risk versus reward. Extract safely to keep all your resources, or push your limits – but beware, death will cost you a portion of your hard-earned spoils.

Between missions, visit the WarfareHQ hub to spend your hard-earned resources on permanent upgrades, preparing for the next, more challenging tier of combat.

With ten difficulty levels and a personal leaderboard system, Solo Warfare LE3 offers a fresh, replayable experience that push pushes the boundaries of what's possible in Mass Effect 3.

Current Beta Features
