CHANGES
We have adjusted some of the big meta weapons to feel less oppressive. We will of course check how this shifts the current usage % of the weapons and will also keep a close eye on the KBR, due to the Basilisk changes.
WEAPON CHANGES
- Melee
- Damage reduced from 45 to 40
- This is to address the "one-shotting" of our fellow Striders, an unintentional result in 2.7 when we tuned their health.
- All SMGs
- Default spread increased from 3 to 4
- Mid-air spread increased from 3 to 4
- Fall off damage now begins and ends sooner, from 20-50m down to 10-40m
- Voltaic Brute
- Reduced damage from 9 to 8
- Increased horizontal and vertical recoil
- Basilisk
- Fire Rate reduced from 0.5 to 0.6
- Projectile speed reduced from 54000 to 45000
MISCELLANEOUS
- Updated the description text of the Scanner tool (formerly knows as the Mineral Scanner) to mention that it can be used to spot players through smoke and vegetation.
- This is something that has been talked about by our players a lot and we're very interested in how players have used the Scanner so far. We're all for cool ways to use the Scanner. However, we will be continuing to keep a close eye on this topic and will make adjustments to the usage of the Scanner where necessary.
- New player match parameters (beginner matchmaking) have been adjusted to lengthen the amount of time before players on new accounts are moved to the general matchmaking lobbies.
- Healing speed forge perk values have been reduced from 10%-30% to 4%-20%.
- We will of course monitor the situation closely, to check if this adjustment keeps the time to regenerate in check.
- Our in-game news system received a bit of a visual overhaul.
