Update 2 patch notes:
ADDED
General
• Added three new convoy instant repair skills at level 55. These skills repair the caster and all nearby members of the caster?s convoy, making it a very efficient repair option in groups.
• Human Engineers receive "Coordinated Repair"
• Mutant Shamans get "Revitalize"
• Biomek Constructors get "Reformation".
• Emergence arena ready for play
• Introduced 10 exciting new "Battlemaster" series items that may be purchased from the new Ground Zero Outpost Rewards Store.
