New Class – Tracker
With an elusive background, most information is sketchy at best about this enigmatic character. Corroborated from recorded dying words of his targets, camera footage and death scenes analysis, he has been dubbed the Tracker, based on the skills, gear and tactics employed in combat situation. Having acquired and adapted the latest tech, The tracker employs classic hunting tactics on the modern battlefield. Using a specially designed headset, he is able to visualize footstep traces and place track his target via a marker. To keep the distance and angle of approach to his advantage, the tracker uses a mechanized companion, very similar in behavior and purpose to a hunting hound, which he refers to as DOC. In a party, the tracker offers efficient military support deployment and extensive scouting abilities in anticipating the location of the enemy targets.

Balance Changes
Evil Eye Core:
Max Reveal Distance Rescale: Mark 1: 25m, Mark 2: 25m, Mark 3: 30m, Mark 4:30m, Mark 5: 35m
Mark 5 Duration Reduced from 5 seconds to 4.
Class Changes:
Marauder Class:
Following the extensive feedback on how strong the class is compared to others, we decided to touch on its survivability, due to the way it stacked with other damage reducing sources. The class is meant to thrive in intensive prolonged fights and scale on the back of repeated kills, but the passive survivability was indeed a bit high at spawn.
• Resilient Hunter Passive Skill:
Number of hits reduced: From 3 to 2 bullets blocked at Tier 1/ From 6 to 4 bullets blocked at Tier 2
Damage reduction scaled down: From 35% to 25% at Tier1/ From 35% to 30% at Tier 2.
• Blurry Vision Passive Skill
Damage reduction value reduced: From 10% to 5% at Tier 1/ From 15% to 8% at tier 2
Sapper Class:
Considering the versatility of placement for this particular turret, we understood from your feedback that it felt too strong in terms of damage output, while being hard to reach sometimes.
• Shotgun Turrets: ROF Decreased by ~30%
Kommander Class:
• Severance: Accuracy Nerfed → Shooting Cone Increased by ~10%.
Recon Class:
While Recon’s damage varies based on positioning, we noticed that most Recons opt for weapons from other classes when given the option, especially in terms of Prestige Tier.
Smart Prestige Tier WHISPERER: Min Damage Increased from 13 to 15. Max Damage Increased from 20 to 24.
Morph Class:
With the addition of a new class as well as feedback, we felt the Morph scaling factor was a bit too dependent on enemy classes, thus restricting certain playstyles/weapons for her.
• Powerups obtained via killing enemy players will now be random. [Previously it would depend on which weapon the enemy players has in hands]
• SMART Prestige Tier N.A.Z → Min Damage Increased from 18 to 21
• Prestige Tier RUIN → Min Damage Increased from 50 to 65R.Max Damage Increased from 65 to 80
Sniper Class:
Since we have repeatedly nerfed the No Scope playstyle on snipers in the past updates, a buff to quickscope kills felt required to compensate.
• Reduced Aim Down Sight transition duration.
New implementations:
• Added support for Steam Controller
• Players can now use mouse/keyboard and controller in parallel
• Deploy/Repair/Upgrade Turret is now mapped to the Y button
• Added the Sniper’s skill indicator for PC HUD
Bug fixes:
• Fixed various infrequent crashes in menus and during gameplay
• Fixed an issue that caused grenades to be unusable on controllers
• Fixed an issue where controller vibration will not stop on death
• Reduced controller sensitivity of RB/LB when changing loadout
• Fixed an issue in Chapter 5: Mission 4 where aiming is disabled if the game is interrupted
