Early Access Patch Notes – 17/10/2024

17/10/24

We're thrilled to bring you the latest news on the updates and optimizations we've rolled out, just one week after the launch of Early Access. The feedback we've received from players has been fantastic, and we've already made significant improvements to enhance your gaming experience. Let's dive into what's new and read the full Patch Notes further below!

Improved Performance

Our team has been hard at work optimizing performance, and while we're committed to ongoing enhancements, we're excited to share the improvements achieved so far:

  • Xbox & PlayStation 5: 10% to 20% increase in fps
  • Low-End PCs: 10% to 20% increase in fps
  • High-End PCs: 5% increase in fps

Optimizing performance remains one of our top priorities, and we look forward to sharing more improvements soon. Stay tuned!

Game Balancing Update

We're refining the battlefield to ensure every weapon and ability offers a fair, thrilling experience. Our latest balancing pass focuses on reigning in overperforming shotguns and enhancing underused assault rifles.

Shotgun Adjustments

The destructive power of shotguns has dominated the current meta. To bring them in-line with other weapon classes, we've made these changes:

Squall

  • Damage reduced from 28 to 24 per round
  • Magazine size increased from 10 to 12 rounds

Flenser

  • Damage reduced from 38 to 30 per round
  • Fire rate increased from 80 to 90 rounds per minute

Assault Rifle Improvements

To encourage more use of the Vulture and Partisan, we're increasing their magazine capacities:

  • Vulture: Default magazine size increased from 30 to 35 rounds
  • Partisan: Default magazine size increased from 30 to 40 rounds

Paralyzer CyberLimb Tweaks

While CyberLimbs are meant to redefine gameplay, the Paralyzer has proven too dominant. These changes aim to keep it powerful but balanced:

  • The Paralyzer will no longer prevent sprinting or mantling
  • Stun duration reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds

We believe these changes will create a more dynamic and balanced experience. As always, your feedback is crucial --- keep sharing your thoughts as we continue to fine-tune the game!
