The RU Patch Note mentions that Incendiary Rounds is turning into a Legendary augment as well.

Ah that brings back memories. I would have loved to see it in MM as a small map but Magnum and Tesla probably would have ruined it. Ugh.

Why? When they make the Tanki Funds, they clearly state what rewards are in each tier and how many tiers there are. You enter the fund knowing fully well that it may either not fill completely, or it may fill completely. The token of apology made sure that anyone can enter the fund on any of their accounts higher than Staff Sergeant with no problem. Why do you want even MORE rewards in this case where access to the fund is easy?

If you would rather it be nerfed, then why did you give a suggestion that would effectively buff its output?

All projectile turrets suffer from this. Striker is most obvious as its projectile are the slowest to hit its target. Can you record video evidence of this? Whenever I'm jammed against an enemy with Striker, I do damage like normal when I shoot.

There is already a huge overlap in drone ability while still costing the same to micro-upgrade. Hyperion is very potent at what It does and allows you to do and needs no buffs. If you want more speed, you use Trickster or Crisis. If you want more damage, you use Booster, Camper or Crisis. If you want more armour, you use Defender, Lifeguard, Camper or Crisis. if you want more Overdrive charge, you use Driver or anything that can give you consistent kills or capture objectives easier.

He's talking specifically with Viking's Overdrive. I too don't know why they decided to do that. It wasn't problematic at all.

You are unlucky. This is the risk you take when you buy Ultra Containers for a specific exotic prize. You may get an exotic but it may not be a prize you want or see yourself using for a while. You may not even get an exotic at all. You fell into the latter category. Think back on this experience the next time you consider spending money on Ultra Containers. I'm not trying to dissuade you from buying them. I'm just letting you know what you're potentially in for. Either greatness, or nothing. Furthermore it is currently unknown what the exact exotic drop rate is. From the ~1,500 containers I've opened from special missions, the first and second Token of Apology, it hints that the chance may be 1%.

Equip a drone. Buy and start upgrading Brutus.

You should. It's great that there's more reason to consciously pick other augments besides EMP/AP/Cryo Rounds. I won't be using AR as much as I am now after the crits get removed but at least it got a faster firing. And also my shots now seem to actually deal impact force. Before this update, I'd wager 80%+ of my AR shots didn't deal impact force so not only was I downgrading my damage, I wasn't getting anything out of it. Barring the crits, I'm finally getting something from it.

Allegedly it is a bug. Expect it to get fixed in a future patch.

Two things. Firstly, we have never had the special missions that you are referring to during the Black Friday events since its introduction in 2020. Secondly, they have repeated the pattern of special missions that they introduced in early 2022 where players with Premium and/or the current Battle Pass gain access to 2 missions giving a small number of Ultra Containers upon completion. Alongside that is a relatively new special mission they have been adding in each event where you purchase an item in the shop. The name of the mission and the occasion the mission was placed under match each other. Shopping = Black Friday. They gifted us 15 Ultra Containers. We did not have to pay anything. We did not have to go and complete X battles, earn X score, earn X crystals etc. They were free, they were a gift.

If you have Heat Immunity, you don't need Shooting Speed Regulator. Focus on more damage from Adrenaline, especially with a hover hull. Shooting Speed Regulator reduces your normal DPS by 10%.

What made them comparable was how closely their total damage output was against an enemy. The TTK was basically the same if you hit all of your shots. It was a matter of preference which one you wanted, if not favouring Adrenaline a bit with changes that were made to Booster, Stock Smoky etc. The new HPAS is going to have even higher normal damage with a faster firing rate. The scales are now tipped towards HPAS' favour. Critical hits aren't much of a comparison between them since Smoky can advance critical chance on misses. Both can end up with more crits or less crits than each other. In the end, the majority of their shots will be normal damage. Now that the firing rate of HPAS is being increased, it's even less of a factor. HPAS' reload will be 1.38 seconds after this update. This video shows what a Smoky with a 1.40 second reload shoots like.

With these changes, HPAS should be statistically better now.

You'd rather have no Ultra Containers than 4 free ones?

Made us think you were forgetting to do this all these months. Makes sense that Cryo Rounds goes to Legendary. It had pretty nice value for Smoky crystal augment. Expected. Hoping that Shaft is next in the order seeing that it has two firing modes.

We've never had special missions during Black Friday's event. It's a day for spending.
