Drone Pod spawn limit was changed from total pool (28 total) to per weapon (5, and 8 post evolution). This means that per weapon damage decreased as the number of total drones spawned is now limited early game. To balance this, the damage and the critical rate was adjusted - also accounting for the need for the damage buff.
Please note that while this patch is not particularly unstable, I've only had 2 days to QA. The usual interval between regular patches is about 3 weeks and I did not want to delay any further. I will be QA'ing the build for few days and it may receive some announced fixes (if required). If you come across one, kindly report it via the forum.
Thanks!
