Can't wait to see what's in the crates, and what strange parts did they invented for the hats !

how did empire escalation get rebalanced?

- Rebalanced Empire Escalation Thank you. It was such a chore without the perfect team.

Any hints of what's in the new crates?

[QUOTE=DoctorQ;43092888]Any hints of what's in the new crates?[/QUOTE] "- Added new Strange parts that can be applied to Strange cosmetic items" maybe?

Oh yay, there's a strange part for Ally Healing done. My Crusader's Crossbow has been lonely for lack of parts.. Edit: Oh and it appears they readded the Grenade Launcher.
