couple questions i haven't found an answer to

[Llewxam]

greets to all first and foremost. been a while since i've been here. now with defi2k50 i have a few questions with the differences:

1. are infected (irath flu zombies) still in the game? i loved fighting these.
2. have vendors completely changed from selling higher rarity gear/mods/etc?
3. where do we get ark battery spikes from now?
4. (and this i guess it's mostly a beg more than a general inquiry) why is steering in time trials so stiff? can it be tweaked? making it impossible to complete time trials and get that beautiful black challenger back.
5. can we expect charge blades to come back as weapons instead of a skill? such a short time even with a maxed skill to use this, kinda defeats the purpose to even do arenas now other than reputation.
6. reputation vendors appear damaged. what needs to be done to be able to access these?

thanks to any and all who can answer me these.

No.

2. have vendors completely changed from selling higher rarity gear/mods/etc?

Yes.

3. where do we get ark battery spikes from now?

Vendors, after completing the appropriate missions.

5. can we expect charge blades to come back as weapons instead of a skill? such a short time even with a maxed skill to use this, kinda defeats the purpose to even do arenas now other than reputation.

Probably. Devs will add them back and call it a content patch.

6. reputation vendors appear damaged. what needs to be done to be able to access these?

They work fine for me.

thanks man. well now i'm gonna miss the wailing zombies too lol. as for the rep vendor question, i mean it all appears grayed out and says damaged on every item they sell. ...guessing it's because my rep is too low? just hit lvl 50 not too long ago.

They'll absolutely add them at some point and call it new content.
