PU-1 Charge

• Mass reduced from 576 to 445 kg.

Comment: the change will simplify the assembly of a vehicle with “Charge” and will increase the demand for this generator relative to “Ampere”.

Goblin

• Damage reduced by 5%.
• Rate of fire reduced by 19%.
• Now lets 30% of damage through instead of 40%.

Gremlin

• Damage reduced by 10%.
• Now lets 30% of damage through instead of 40%.

Comment: in current realities, both shotguns have inflated damage to energy ratio and an overly high survivability.

Kapkan

• Vehicle capture time reduced from 7 to 6 sec.

Comment: a player who is caught in the “trap” essentially becomes defenceless and only in rare cases has the opportunity to escape. We believe that 7 sec. of such a state in conditions of fast battles is too much.

Expanded ammo pack

• Mass increased from 288 to 408 kg.

Comment: it’s no secret that these ammo packs are used not only for additional projectiles, but also as armour, due to the rather forgiving mass of the module relative to its durability. In most cases, only one or two modules are used for additional ammunition. The change will not greatly affect such assemblies, but will be noticeable for vehicles that were armoured with these modules.

Miller

• Mass increased from 495 to 565 kg.
• Added the ammunition parameter. Base value: 310 pts.

Comment: this minigun is highly effective in battles (8000 — 10000 PS levels). Vehicles with Millers consistently stand out not only for their high durability, but also for the amount of damage inflicted per battle. Increasing the mass of the minigun will reduce the overall durability of such vehicles, and the limited ammunition will add an element of control and make the effectiveness of the minigun more dependent on the player’s actions.

Gerrida I

• Tonnage reduced from 1600 to 1400 kg.

Comment: at the moment, this is the “strongest” movement part in the game. It allows you to assemble very durable and fairly fast and maneuverable vehicles. At this point, we wouldn’t want to limit the main features of these mechanical legs (speed and mobility) in any way, so we decided to make changes to their tonnage and make vehicles with them lighter and more vulnerable. The edit comes on top of the above changes to tonnage recalculation and the use of additional movement parts on the car.

Blight

• Perk damage bonus reduced from 40% to 35%.
• The distance required to charge the perk increased from 300 to 500 m.

Comment: right now the cabin provides an excessive bonus to vehicles that use fire weapons. The change would make the ratio of the bonus itself to the frequency of its use more fair.

Astraeus

• Reload time increased from 4 to 5 sec.
• Damage reduced by 10%.
• Perk damage bonus reduced from 60% to 50%.

Comment: the overestimated effectiveness of “Astraeus” is observed over a wide range of PS levels (from 7000 to 14000). Often the damage dealt by these weapons outperforms the damage dealt by ranged weapons of higher rarities.

GL-55 Impulse

• Durability reduced from 192 to 171 pts.
• Projectile speed reduced by 10%.
• Reduced accuracy:
• The effect of vehicle speed on accuracy increased by 30%.
• Increase in spread after the shot increased by 17%.
• Reduced aiming speed by 25%.

Comment: the previous adjustments to this weapon proved to be excessive, and increased survivability and damage dealing too much. We are partially reversing the changes made in the “Depths of the Wasteland” update, but would like to note that the final parameters of the grenade launcher still remain higher than before those changes were implemented.

Cerberus

• Added 30% explosive damage resistance to the front of the cabin. Resistance to ram damage also applies to the front of the cabin.

Comment: thanks to the change, the built-in melee weapon becomes similar to other melee weapons, and the cabin is not as vulnerable as before.

Werewolf

• Now, after the cabin is destroyed, a drone with a “Fafnir” shotgun remains for an unlimited time.

Comment: this change is aimed primarily at increasing interest in using this cabin. A controlled drone with an unlimited “lifetime” will make the game more interesting even after the main vehicle is destroyed.

Ghost

• The cabin’s perk now starts resetting after dealing damage (not ramming damage), not after exiting invisibility.

Comment: the cabin’s perk was too dependent on invisibility modules. The edit gives the player more control over the implementation of bonus damage.

Caucasus

• Vertical aiming angles changed from +40/-20 to +20/-10.

Comment: the weapon becomes too effective when it is mounted on armoured aircraft. The change should result in target locking being dropped more often in aerial combat when manoeuvring. In ground battles, “Caucasus” rarely uses such vertical aiming angles, and therefore the adjustment should not have a noticeable effect on them.

BC-17 Tsunami

• Reload time reduced from 7 to 6 sec.

ZS-46 Mammoth

• Reload time reduced from 6.6 to 6 sec.

Comment: both “Tsunami” and “Mammoth” have an excessively long reload time, which (taking into account the type and characteristics of the weapons) doesn’t fit into the current pace of battles.

Athena

• The number of shells in the burst increased from 7 to 10.
• Damage and heating from each hit in the burst reduced by 30%.
• Now the spread increases more as the burst is fired, but it stops increasing when the weapon is rotating.

Comment: the effectiveness of the revolver is too high. The edit preserves the possible total damage, but stretches it to a larger number of projectiles and complicates its implementation (including the perk that requires hitting all projectiles in the queue).

Spark III

• Damage frequency reduced by 25%.
• Damage increased by 46%.
• Negative effect of the perk reduced from 7.5% to 4%.
• Negative effect stacks up to 15 times (instead of 8).

Comment: now “Spark” is more often used in a single copy (as an auxiliary weapon that quickly inflicts the maximum negative effect on the enemy). With these changes, we want to make this weapon more independent: it will now take longer for the maximum negative effect to be applied, but the damage will be significantly higher during this time.

Apollo IV

• Durability increased from 363 pts. to 427 pts.

Comment: edits are related to the fact that the generator is destroyed much more often than the “Thor-6S”, which affects its demand and effectiveness.

Reaper

• Added perk: after 10 hits on the enemy, fires an armour-piercing projectile that penetrates ap to 3 structure pins without losing damage. Each miss reduces the number of accumulated hits.
• The mechanics of firing without overheating have been preserved.

Comment: the weapon’s effectiveness is insufficient when compared to “Miller”. The special projectile, as in the case of the “Miller”, has an increased impulse.

Kronos

• Charge consumption now stops/doesn’t start if there is nothing to restore (i.e. all attached parts have full durability, or there are none at all).

Comment: thanks to this change, the cabin’s charge will no longer be wasted.

Muninn

• Now the cooldown time of drones that had the perk active at the time of destruction is reduced by 35%.

Comment: with this change we compensate for the lack of efficiency of the cabin in conjunction with the drones.

CC-18 Typhoon

• Reload time reduced from 7 to 6 sec.
• The negative effect of the perk is now 30% (instead of 40%), and its duration is 2.5 sec. (instead of 3 sec.).

Comment: the reasons for changing the reload time are similar to “Tsunami” and “Mammoth”. A slight weakening of the negative effect of the cannon’s perk is related to the fact that it will now be applied more often.

RL-9 Helicon

• Now, instead of seconds of projectile flight (0.75 sec.), the meters travelled by the projectile (180 m.) are used to activate the perk.

Comment: the change should make it easier for the perk to interact with the projectile speed upgrade, as well as with the perk of the “Steppe spider” cabin.

Flash I

• Damage frequency reduced by 25%.
• Damage increased by 46%.
• The negative effect of the perk reduced from 5% to 3.5%.
• The negative effect now stacks up to 17 times (instead of 12).

Comment: these changes are similar to the changes for “Spark”.

Ripper

• The weapon now deals 3.5 times more damage to bumpers and passive melee weapons.
• Fixed a bug that caused disks to disappear when they hit water.

Comment: the melee type of damage is a feature of the “Ripper”, which allows it to deal full damage to parts that let damage through. Because of this feature, it loses too much effectiveness when its disks hit bumpers and passive melee weapons that have high resistance.
