Balancing Changes

We also have a few balancing changes for you! Highlights are reduced Cadillo recoil and a rework for the Viper recoil, and a shorter EMP detonation time. The full list:

  • Heavily reduced Cadillo recoil

  • Reworked Viper recoil

  • Reduced the cost of proximity sensors from 400 to 200

  • Reduced the EMP detonation time from 60 to 45 seconds

  • Reduced the cost of extended mag from 150 to 100

  • Reduced the cost of laser from 50 to 25

Roughly a week ago, we also fixed several issues that should result in fuller servers. Additionally, we've heard you, and next week, we'll be experimenting with level-based matchmaking for Quickplay to improve player experience.

Great things are to come in 2024, and we can't wait to share it all as soon as they're ready!

Cheers, and happy breaching!
