Balance Changes

Rogues

Gl1tch

• Passive: Range buffed from 30 meters → 60 meters

Gl1tch’s passive is great for identifying enemy positions and dodging potentially dangerous encounters. This buff is aimed at increasing his play potential by extending the range of intel he can gather.

Talon

• Ability: Range buffed from 30 meters → 40 meters

This small bump in ability range should help Talon in encounters where weapons he’s pulling are just out of reach.

Vy

• AdjustedPassiveHealth steal rate reduced from .1 → .07

Vy’s maximum health steal passive is very strong in reducing the time to kill of enemy opponents and increasing her own. This change is meant to reduce that capability.

Weapons

Hydra

• Rate of Fire increased from 273rpm → 286rpm

We previously reduced the fire rate from 300 → 273rpm, this buff should bring the Hydra in line with the rest of the AR class.

Nightshade

• Accuracy loss per shot decreased from 0.02 → 0.01

The nightshade as a hybrid SMG/AR has been struggling relative to the SMG class and struggling relative to the AR class. This change brings its accuracy loss per shot closer to its SMG peers in an attempt to make it more viable.

Objection

• Headshot damage: 14 → 16

The objection is slightly lagging relative to its peers in the SMG category. Given the weapons overall inaccuracy, this increase in headshot damage should make the weapon more lethal in the close and close-mid ranges.

Sahara

• Increased hip fire accuracy

Missing a hip fire shot tended to be quite punishing given the overall accuracy, speed, and stopping power of this weapon. This change is to reduce the likelihood of missing an initial hip fire shot and being severely punished.

Riptide

• Increased max accuracy loss

• Accuracy returns faster after finishing firing

The Riptide had an incredible initial and sustaining accuracy. These changes should keep the first 4-5 shots of the weapon highly accurate but reduce the ability of players to hold down firing with perfect accuracy well into their magazines. The Riptide will continue to reward players who can consistently land headshots but now players will be punished for missing headshots, by needing to stop and reset their aim.

Conviction

• AdjustedFalloff Range 1Distance changed from 20 meters → 15 meters.

The Conviction has exceptionally high falloff ranges. This change is in order to bring its first falloff range down a bit to be more in line with most other weapons available.

Fixed Issue

• Removed a source of player cheats & exploits
