Patch Update #783 - Released 22nd November 2024

 

List of changes:

• Changes in the mechanics of Tesla turret

  • Ball lightning now shares the chain lightning damage, functioning like adding an additional enemy to the chain.

  • Shots fired from these turrets may have different initial and final speeds.

• Changes in the mechanics of Firebird, Freeze, Hammer, Twins and Ricochet turrets

  • Now the damage dealt from these turrets does not completely stop after reaching the range of minimum damage. Instead, a new maximum range parameter has been added for such turrets.

It's criminal that a Large Calibre template augment took so long to receive downsides for having extra damage.

still no Striker Vacuum nerf -_-

Can't wait to try the Uranium augment

Interesting change to uranium. Also, thank goodness for the increase reload for tandem.

I think base striker is good now than 'exotic' tandem.

And conveniently at the time when it is about to be massively distributed as well through event. Predictable.

IF it works as I think it will then this is one of best balance made this year, great job for this one ! 

[Wry 93]

Does the speed of the shot affect its impact force? So the lower the speed the lower the impact?

striker got a massive reload nerf, you still want more?

Impact force IIRC is affected by range rather than speed. 

[Chromophore 7]

English isn't even my first language, and this text still makes my eyes bleed. 

[Frylock 1,617]

Im glad stock striker got some sort of nerf that I wanted. Now it should be easier to balance out those power-crept augments. 

[Muscularity 160]

Striker vacuum shell augment nerf, helloooo?!

There are alot of people who dont know how to use this augment properly. (which is why this should not get nerfed)

For the players who know how to use this vacuum missiles in the right hands it might be OP but you can count these players on 2 hands.

Alot of people who were trying to use this augment just stopped playing with it. To difficult? idk. Im playing with Remote rocket explosives for 3 years

You can also easy counter it there is striker prot ,defender drone,lifeguard augments. That should be enough ig

Lol, there are definitely far more players who have it and who can constantly get top 1 with it practically nonstop, despite protections. And even if it was so super skill capped, that  does not mean that those who mastered this "incredible art" of Vacuum spam should be running around and getting 1000-1500 points in every match just because there are noobs who cant play it efficiently.

This is completely irrelevant argument. Protections, Defender and Lifeguard together can pretty much counter everything regardless. Equipping these does not really make every augment balanced, otherwise there would literally be no point in having any balance changes whatsoever.

[It_Aint_Too_Late 144]

Is everyone else here forgetting about critical mix?

lol I equipped remote explosives (after  rarely playing w striker using  tandem and faust brainrot and before that maining uranium of all things) and it took me whopping 2 (TWO) matches to "master" it which makes me believe that vacuum striker is not as skillful as gentlemen (who conveniently all have vacuum) make it to be.

yes because an average player does have all these things at all times just to counter one random overpowered noob.

im maining EMP Shaft currently and I can tell that none of the EMP Shaft users in the past year I met have a slightest idea on how to use EMP Shaft effciently. I'd like for EMP Shaft to be buffed to vacuum striker level

Tesla turret

• Damage increased from 315-630 to 450-900 hp.

• Critical damage increased from 355-710 to 450-900 hp.

• Reload between shots increased from 0.75 to 1.1 s.

More damage but slower traveling speed. I wonder if that works...

Interesting rebalance from Alternativa.

1st rebalance/nerf was reduce salvo to 1, 2nd attempt was reverting the # back to 4 but with longer salvo pause (?), now... a mix of old Uranium + Hunter augment.

If you need 50% damage reduction, and/or further another 50% damage reduction, and/or an extra 500HP to "counter" an augment, then it is precisely justified that it is just too OP.

Please... I thought this was common sense...

[ok_hand 95]

I don't understand how Firebird for example, can simultaneously deal minimum and maximum damage between 12-15m?

Happy to see some much needed nerfs to Tandem and Large Caliber.

I would like to see Defender nerfed and Jammer buffed.

[Devastate 108]

tesla unusable now

[MrRodent 85]

Scorpion is now obsolete with these changes.

 

I've played 13 battles since this recent nerfing, and I've not seen a single player, not one, using scorpion.

 

What was the most popular turret in the game, instantly shelved by EVERY player in the game.

 

Well done, devs. Well done. You've made the newest and most popular turret completely obsolete in an instant.

 

Even the bots aren't using it anymore.

 

Amazing job.

All that R&D developing it, all the money Tanki spent paying devs... just to completely nuke all that work in one move.

 

Well done. Amazing work.

I've seen multiple of every turret since the restart. Are you looking properly?

Maybe just not sit in a corner all game using saboteur and miner?  Theres a thing called aggro playing. On the serious note I don't think it effected all of scorpion. It's talking about the tornado augment specifically. And if that's the only scorpion augment you play then, just switch to a better augment  for aggro plays.
