By Baki&Zemo

New Hulk skins:
Pick your Hulk in the inventory: click the pencil button next to your character and open the Hulk Skin
- Grey Hulk
- Red Hulk
- Savage Hulk
- World War Hulk
- Immortal Hulk
- Maestro

New M1 attacks
-4-hit combo: three hooks, then an uppercut that launches the enemy into the air. The combo starts over if you stop punching.
- Heavier punches: Hulk winds up further, turns his hips, and crouches and lunges into every hit.
- Every hit that lands has real weight: a short hit-stop, camera shake, a flash, a shockwave, sparks and a heavy punch sound.
- Enemies skid back in a cloud of dust, and a punch that misses still pushes out a burst of air.
- Left click punches with the left fist, right click with the right fist.

Reworked moves
-Gamma Stomp: new sumo-style stomp animation. On impact the ground cracks, plates lift, debris flies and a wall of dust rises. Gamma veins and rings appear from 50% rage.
- Super Punch: while it charges, the ground crumbles and gamma energy builds up in Hulk's chest. The punch releases a flash, sonic rings and an air blast, and tears up the ground in front of him.
- Thunderclap: much bigger, with walls of air and dust, wind streaks, a flash and cracks. It turns gamma from 50% rage.
- Seismic Slam: Hulk pounds the ground with alternating fists. Each hit leaves a small crater and sends out an earth wave that heaves the ground. Targets stay stunned for 5 extra seconds.
- Hulk Leap: take-off blasts a crater, and the landing impact scales with how hard he falls.
- Shoulder Bash: smashed blocks fly off as real debris, Hulk leaves a dust trail and cracks the ground with every stride, and hits on bodies are visible.
- Gamma Roar: visible sound waves pour out of Hulk's mouth, grass and leaves are ripped away, and mobs that survive flee.
- Gamma Bomb: while it charges, the ground splits and pulses, rocks float up and gamma lightning arcs into Hulk. The blast flashes the screen, throws everything outward and cracks the land around the crater.
- Ground Rip: the ground cracks around the plate before it tears free, dirt rains from its underside, and the throw lands in a crater with a shockwave.
- Gamma Shield: every blow shows on the bubble with a flash, sparks and rings of light. A glowing ring marks the ground, and when the shield runs out it bursts into a shockwave that pushes nearby enemies away.
- Boulder Throw: the rock is wrenched out of a cracked hole, trails dust in flight and craters the ground on impact.
- World Breaker: veins, aura and lightning take the skin's colour.

New transformation
- Smooth growth over 6 heartbeats.

New way to become Hulk
- Stay next to a placed Gamma Block for 60 seconds. The screen turns green, a Geiger counter crackles, your heart races and voices whisper.
- The block explodes and you black out. You wake up in your inner world, facing Hulk in the mirror, and he asks you three questions.
- You wake up again and transform against your will, and Hulk takes control for a few seconds.
- New item: the Geiger Counter, which clicks faster near gamma.
- New Gamma advancement tab.
- In the inner world you answer Hulk directly in chat, with no need for `/hulk talk`.

Balance
- Every special move deals 1.5x damage. M1 punches are unchanged.

Fixes and performance
- Much less lag during big block-breaking moves, especially the Gamma Bomb: the frame rate doubled during the blast in our tests.
- Several bug fixes:
  - effects that could get stuck on screen
  - combo clicks lost when lagging
  - /kill being blocked by the Gamma Shield
  - icons that didn't follow resource packs.
