Patch Update #735 - Released 11th August 2023

 

• Added a new Hammer augment to Ultra Containers — «Heavy Slugger»

  • (Note) This augment acts like an upgraded slugger. Pellets fly much farther, but the turret rotation speed is reduced.

• Updated the standard skin for Hammer to its HD version.

  • (Note) After many changes in game balance, Hammer’s horizontal spreading of pellets has increased. To signify that, we’ve added a second barrel to the turret.

• Hammer

  • Updated standard skin 

  • «Assault Magazine» augment

    • Changed clip reload time from -40% to -30%

• Striker

  • «Missile Launcher “Tandem”» augment

    • Salvo reload time changed from +100% to +80%

  • «Missile Launcher “Hydra”» augment

    • Pause between salvo's rockets changed from -30% to -20%

• Gauss

  • «Hyperspeed Shells» augment

    • Range of minimum damage changed from 0% to -25%

• PRO-Battles 

  • Berlin Map (not the MM version) now supports up to 80 players.

  • Dusseldorf Map (not the MM version) now supports up to 100 players. 

  • Lost Temple Map (not the MM version) now supports up to 90 players. 

  • (Note) These are experimental changes and may be reverted in the future. 

• Game statistics on older protection modules were transferred to the new protection modules.

• To increase security, players’ authorization resets every 30 days even if they have 2FA enabled.

• Improvements in the UI of the mobile HTML5 version of the game.

If Tandem can get a salvo reload time reduction then maybe it's time to do something with Missile Launcher Wolfpack for Scorpion?

Assault Magazine nerf, Tandem buff, Hydra kinda nerf. Good changes.

I'm interested in this Hammer HD skin. I also know some people wanted a Slugger buff, but I guess it takes the form of this new augment now.

Gauss Hyperspeed probably really needed that buff. If I'm correct, it can now deal weak damage at 135m instead of 180m.

Hammer

Seems cool

[Let 1,398]

Interesting. 

I really like security update. 

New hammer's augment is also interesting. 

But other hand i kinda like and kinda don't like pro-battle update, which means more parkour fighter's and more hacker's 

[Deceptive-Hope_EN.PL 162]

Nothing has changed about missions? Oh right, money is more important and increasing or make better prizes for that new mission system would cost more than they generate profits. What did I expect?

[soviet.reunion 76]

I don't understand what they did to modules, can someone please explain?

I believe it's just for the in-game profiles.

Stats pretty much means hours played and experience earned using the modules.

[Gabe2607 215]

From what I can see Pro Battles allow max:

Berlin - 40 players (not 80)

Dusseldorf - 50 players (not 100)

Lost Temple - 16 players (not 90)

Hammer

• Updated standard skin 

Hammer/Viking is my main and you'll probably always catch me in battle with that combo. (unless i seriously wanted a change from the monotony) 

 

As soon as I entered the game today, my eyes couldn't believe what they saw. I was flabbergasted, glaring at the screen. Hadn't read the patch update and I was whispering "no... please, for God's sake no..." 

I slowly, hesitantly opened the garage... and oh, to my UTTER horror, 

*ugly HD standard settings*

Good Lord, change it back, please! It was the only good looking turret in my opinion (lol) and it looked just perfect before this update. 

never thought my reason to quit playing would be my fav turret being made ugly

IMO, It looks awesome.

The LC and XT skins have not been touched, so you can have mono-barrel once again if you have one of em in your garage.

I really think they should change the hammer sound effect to "oink" now.

[Me0w_XP 523]

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't like Hammer HD at first. I thought it was ugly, but I think that's just because it's different from the old skin. I used Hammer for a bit and I have to say, the animations are pretty cool. It's clear that they modeled it after the Demonic skin which I honestly don't mind because I wanted those animations without paying/grinding for Hammer DC.

I guess they lied to us then. If so, then I'm not surprised.

I always enter patch updates hoping they make Swarm great again

That means what? Is it a nerf or a buff?

Nevermind. I reread it and I saw where the confusion was. And now I'm thinking it might be a nerf but not sure.

Can be a nerf or a buff depending on the situation you find yourself in. If you need to focus most or all of your missiles on one person, it is a nerf. If you happened to find multiple low HP hulls apart from each other but still close, then it is a slight buff.
