Patch Update #704 - Released 21st October 2022

 

• A new augment for Scorpion has been added to Ultra Containers — «Cryo Shells» 

  • (Note) This augment applies «Freezing» status effect on critical hits and rocket salvos

• Hammer

  • Range of min damage increased from 40-50 to 50-60 m.

• Twins

  • Range of min damage increased from 40-50 to 50-60 m.

• Ricochet

  • Range of min damage increased from 40-50 to 50-60 m.

• Smoky

  • Projectile speed decreased from 350-350 to 300-350 m/sec.

  • (Note) Previously all modifications had the same value — 350. Now Mk1 has 300 and MkMAX has 350. Players quite often confuse this writing of parameters with a spread of possible values, as if it would be a random value from this range. We no longer use random values from ranges, now this writing always means that the first number is a value for Mk1 and the second value is a value for MkMAX

  • «Rubberized Rounds» augment

    • Projectile speed increased by 100%

  • «Sorted Ammunition» augment

    • Reload time decreased by 10%

• Striker

  • «Stunning Missiles» augment

    • Duration of the «Stun» status effect applied by a critical hit is increased from 1 to 1.5 s.

    • Duration of the «Stun» status effect applied by a rocket salvo is decreased from 1 to 0.8 s.

  • «Armor-Piercing Missiles» augment

    • Duration of the «Armor-Piercing» status effect applied by a critical hit is increased from 5 to 9 s.

    • Duration of the «Armor-Piercing» status effect applied by a rocket salvo is decreased from 5 to 3 s.

  • (Note) We would like to try having differentiated status effect duration for equipment that have multiple ways of applying status effects - randomly and guaranteed. Striker will be used as a test stand for it. An interesting feature of Striker is that it is the only turret than can deal critical damage with an alternative way of shooting.

• Vulcan

  • Projectile speed increased from 150-150 to 150-200 m/sec.

• Thunder

  • Projectile speed decreased from 350 to 300-350 m/sec.

  • «Hyperspeed» shells» augment

• Wasp

  • Overdrive charge from battle points decreased from 333 to 300 unit/point

  • Overdrive charge time decreased from 180 to 150 s.

  • (Note) We decrease overdrive charge from battle points. We want to balance this parameter so that overdrives are not used simultaneously in a battle, but at the same time successful players cannot significantly outperform other players in the number of overdrives they can use.

  • Overdrive charge time decreased from 180 to 150 s.

• Hunter

  • Overdrive duration increased from 9 to 15 s.

• The number of stars players get no longer depends on which team won

  • 1 place — 3 stars

  • 2 place — 3 stars

  • 3 place — 3 stars

  • 4 place — 2 stars

  • 5 place — 2 stars

  • 6 place — 2 stars

  • 7 place — 2 stars

  • 8 place — 1 star

  • 9 place — 1 star

  • 10 place — 1 star

  • 11 place — 1 star

  • 12 place — 1 star

  • 13 place — 1 star

  • 14 place — 1 star

  • (Note) Now the only thing you need to earn more stars is to show your best till the end of a battle and it doesn’t matter in which team you are. Let's see if this will affect the problem of early (before the balancer reacts) exits from battles if a player is in a weak team.

• Fixed the animation issue with the Ricochet HD skin that caused the turret energy tank to keep rotating after reload
