With this patch we are testing a significant gameplay change: the weapon pool for each Suit has changed from 4 weapons per Suit to 3 weapons per Suit. After you have spent some time playing with the new changes we would appreciate if you could could tell us what you think of this change through this form: https://forms.gle/yP74fejLSSYmP9xW9
Gameplay changes
- As a test, each Suit now only has 3 weapons in their available pool. This way players will have a higher likelihood of getting at least one weapon that they’re comfortable with, and will have a more stable weapon loadout from round to round by having access to at least one of the weapons that they had in the previous round. The weapons being removed as a test are: the Scout’s Wolfhound (shotgun), the Chunk’s Blaster, and the Eggbot’s SB-34 MG (the Scout still has the SB-34 MG). For the moment this will result in the Progression tree not matching the weapons available for each Suit.
- In the Warmup mode, frags now award 100 currency instead of 200.
- In the Warmup mode, assists now award 25 currency.
- The “+1 Upgrade card next death” Team Reward Now only grants 1 upgrade card selection each death, if your team has picked up multiple of those Team Rewards, you will receive the rest on your following deaths (whether those deaths happen in the same round or in the following rounds), instead of receiving them all of at once. This upgrade card selection will only occur if you’re not the last player alive when you die, so as to not influence the card selection at the start of the next round.
- Tweaked the speed and gravity of all throwable items to ensure consistency between them.
- Increased the “Data Mining” passive upgrade’s interest per round from 10% to 25%.
- The Eggbot’s Holy Sphere no longer deals damage by default.
- The Eggbot’s Holy Sphere now first applies a small heal burst and then a more significant heal over time.
- The Holy Sphere upgrade “Lingering Touch” which used to cause the Holy Sphere to heal teammates over time and deal damage to enemies over time, now only applies a damage over time effect to enemies (the base Holy Sphere now has a heal over time, and continues to have that heal over time when you get this upgrade).
- Increased the radius for the Eggbot’s Healing Aura from 300 to 350.
Gameplay fixes
