Changes are great! Now everything is more balanced and have to readjust my play style but I was actually able to shoot down multiple A-wings in a Tie Fighter last night. I'm just wondering if the March DLC is going to be worth the season pass.

Survival: Co-Op players can now unlock the "Complete on Hard Difficulty without spending a life" if one player dies and then waits until the other player completes the wave so they get a free respawn

My 8 and 28 year old brothers will be pumped as fuck about this.
