Damage decreased from 1260 to 774 at MAX. Critical damage is increased though, and reload time is so much faster. Kind of excited to try a quick-reload Hammer. This is also good for status Hammers.

HCAP will have a 3 second clip reload, still less than the previous 4.4 seconds. Slight Duplet nerf but this is a big Blunderbuss buff- more range and damage. That's 2720 critical damage, which can almost one-shot a medium with Booster and can one-shot with Crisis once again.

Also, TItan HD, Defender buff, and spawn immunity nerf? People will like this.

So Hyperspeed of all things is the new "Copy n Paste" augment..... Just create "Ultra EMP Pulsar 9000" or something idc anything but Hyperspeed nonsense for every turret... Can't wait to get oneshotted thru my 50% prot double armor while using Mammoth.

As if it was not most OP turret in the end-game already. Thank you. half of my matches are ruined because of one braindead single-celled organism using Duplet hammer and oneshotting me no matter what because WHY NOT  i guess. Thanks for buffing hammer and duplet. Thank you. Best update ever.

My, my... After 5 months of horrible patch notes there is finally something that was made by a person who actually plays the game. Thank you stranger.

 

EDIT: so it looks like Hammer got overall nerf? Well it better be the case. If that's the case thank you.

Well my hammer era might have come to an end (i already started playing with different weaponts)

[Itsumade 73]

The Hammer changes are interesting imo. It takes away the 1 shot kill aspect most people hate/love, and I think this will result in only people who know what they are doing to use it.

 

Unfortunately, they still haven't undone the god awful changes to Freeze and CP mode.

Putting this here for others who may not know what this is doing. Hulls have a passive and manual charging rate. Charge gained from points for doing actions and charge gained per second over time. Those numbers are the conversion rates, 1,000 = 1%. 

For the manual charge,  you get a certain % of charge for every battle point gained. If the conversion is 200 units which means 0.2% for every battle point you gain, you'll get 15 * 0.2 for a kill = 3%. For capturing a flag, you'll get 75 * 0.2 = 15%. 

For the passive charge, you get a certain % of charge for every second that passes. If the conversion is 500 units which means 0.5%, you'll get 0.5% charge every second, needing a total of 200 seconds to passively charge from 0% to 100%. 

 

For a while, every hull had the same manual charge rates but differing passive charge rates. This update will make every hull have the same charging parameters for Mk1. 200 units for passive charging means it will take 500 seconds, or 8 minutes and 20 seconds to passively charge from 100%. All will have the same manual charging rate at 100 units, so a kill will give 1.5% instead of the 4.5% it gave before the update goes though. Below is what the current charging rates are and what they will be at Mk1 and MK7+ after the update.

i've been using mechanic regularly and before the buff it already gave 2000 max hp to the user. (1000 + 1000)

Or it means that you get 3000 instant hitpoints now instead of 2000?

Lifeguard is not a dead drone, its really annoying in some situations (I don't use it), for example if you have a long reload weapon against a melee light hull, you either one shot your enemy or you die. same for a viking on od when you play juggernaut. lifeguard gives you an extra chance to deal more damage which could be crucial seconds, I personally find lifeguard users very annoying for that reason.

It was better like a year ago when it gave the user 3000 HP but gave it to them only every 60 seconds, that was way better in my opinion, now you die quicker with the drone, which defeats the point of the drone doesn't it? with the old drone, you actually had to try really hard not to die, now you die anyways with the updated version of lifeguard

In my opinion, this change is slowly moving away from the one-shot meta. Instead of a strong burst long reload Hammer like before, you get a weak burst swift reload which can occasionally deal high critical damage. You can see this with the Tesla update as well- fast reload, lower damage, high critical damage. This change will also make status Hammers and Blunderbuss strong.

That "HP Bonus" parameter is for the Mechanic users themselves. YOU, the one activating the Mechanic drone, is getting more instant healing. Your allies still get the base 1,000 + 3,000 over 3 seconds. 

 

I even saw it when I played with you in this recent battle.

This. Any buff to the HP Bonus of mechanic would make it more favourable to pair it with a heavy hull. As it is right now, a light hull will instantly be put to full HP and a medium hull will likely reach full or near full HP unless you're being attacked by a Vulcan or melee turret or something that interrupts it immediately. Heavy hulls will now be like what medium hulls currently are like with the drone. I'm still gonna be using it mostly on medium hulls because I like the mobility, and at least now those fringe cases where I activate at critical HP, get interrupted immediately and then die milliseconds before I could activate the next one won't happen anymore.

Heavy hulls will now be like what medium hulls currently are like with the drone. I'm still gonna be using it mostly on medium hulls because I like the mobility, and at least now those fringe cases where I activate at critical HP, get interrupted immediately and then die milliseconds before I could activate the next one won't happen anymore. 

you have so many accounts lol.
but yes i know how it works.

Also just a curiosity, did you record that battle? I like seeing other people perspective when i'm in their team.

Today I noticed that some augments in the garage have disappeared. At the shaft, it appears that RFM is installed, but if I go into augments RFM is no longer there. Standard settings appears. The same for Scorpion Tornado.
