List of changes:

  • Freeze — 1 sec

  • Hammer — 1 sec

  • Twins — 5 sec

  • Ricochet — 5 sec

  • Vulcan — 0,5 sec

  • Thunder — 5 sec

  • Scorpion — 10 sec

  • Amount of Rubies for Standard weekly missions increased from 20 to 30

  • Amount of Rubies for ENCORE weekly missions decreased from 10 to 0

List of fixes:

Vulcan — 0,5 sec

vulcan + floating trash will finally not be 1000 score a match on autopilot. finally.

Let me fix it tho

Vulcan - 0 sec.

now they'll just be the most annoying trash combo by far but without absurd score gain.

Actual good patch.

Big.

Now just need to get rid of the muscle memory of instantly relaunching the client whenever damage breaks

Railgun — 5 sec

This turret is a long range turret, I don't get it why other long range turret have 10 secs but not railgun?

Agreed. Especially since shaft and gauss also utilize quick arcade shots, and their maximum time is both 10 seconds.

This is great, I usually have to reload the client!

I did not see that Maf said the same thing hahaha

[Potdindy 866]

Fantastic update! Good on the devs for trying different things. Maybe this wont work but its a great try. I think it will though. More incentive to not just kill steal

[Gabe2607 215]

just wondering how long it will take to fix the stupidity that has been applied to isida...

[JustBlackWolf 874]

I haven't been playing at all but I'm actually really curious of Isida's pick rates before and after the "rework". If any stat nerd has that info available please lemme know.

Interestingly enough the score assist timer for Isida isn't mentioned in the changes so i assume it's still 3s?

What IS this? I don't understand. Isn't it immediate for every turret?

Yes that's what it means.

I have not played Freeze in over a decade probably, but I'm not sure whether this makes sense? You could freeze someone and stop dealing damage to them for one second, the kill gets stolen while they are STILL affected by the freeze, and you get no assist?

Because the cold status does not damage the target.

Considering Firebird with its afterburn went from 3 to 5 seconds, it's probably implying that Freeze is outperforming Firebird (to no one's surprise) and this is one way to even the playing field points-wise.

But you know, by slowing them down, you're kinda assisting with the kill.

If you want to get so technical, Hammer pushing someone into a wall into a defenseless position is assisting. Jammer reduces the power of certain drones making them less efficient. EMP and AP make the target easier to take down. Stun keeps them in place. If you're going down that route there's a lot of subjectivity. The easiest one, and the one that's been in place forever, is the last time you dealt damage before a target was destroyed.

And there being inconsistent numbers between certain turrets tells its own story. For example, I'm not surprised that Railgun has a shorter timer than all the other long range turrets because Opex had made it clear on the RU forum he's trying to keep Railgun on a leash and foster a more skill-based playstyle. Little to no auto-aim from the start of that update, slight reload nerf when it seemed like it didn't need it, etc.

[Moonglow 11]

it does not feel great to grind the ufo day quests, daily tiers and such just for every chest to be supplies and adrenaline because the new system means most the time you'll be getting worse drops and definitely none that would make you want to use a turret if you have nothing for it.
 

hoping grenades eventually get added to the weekly chest, I remember  a post about that before where someone was arguing about type. It should be the basic grenades hahaha
