Everything is still subject to change throughout the test server period likely beginning later this month, but I expect little to change before the final release. Lion’s rework will be further detailed at the Six Invitational this weekend. Speaking of reworks, big changes for Lion and Glaz are still in the works. The oft-neglected deployable shield is also under the microscope for a rework. They’re aware that the current state of shields “heavily favors direct gunfights instead of teamwork and tactical positioning.” They plan to alleviate this by increasing the ADS time of shields.

The balancing team closed the post with some important updates on other operators and gadgets. If breach charges become similarly convenient, we may see a more diverse meta less reliant on dedicated breachers. The convenience and speed of Sledge’s hammer or Buck’s masterkey are major reasons they’re picked at higher ranks. A faster animation combined with less fear of exploding nearby teammates makes them much more viable.Īs a possible side effect, this could alter the balance of breaching operators like Sledge or Buck altogether. Experienced players can clearly hear the unique sound of a breach charge setup and will try to thwart you by shooting it through the wall. This patch addresses the main things that have always kept me from using breach charges: the time and risk of setting one up. In a rare move for Ubi, a secondary gadget is getting a complete overhaul.

Breach charge overhaul “The Muzzle Brake on Clash’s Machine Pistol is the worst choice in all scenarios now that it is fully automatic, so we are removing it,” the post reads.

Removing Muzzle Brake on Machine Pistol.Ubi says they experimented with making his torch louder to balance things out further, but it proved too difficult to do correctly and is now on the backburner.

Right now, Maverick can burn a small hole in a wall and have his rifle at the ready faster than most can react (provided you could even hear the burn in the first place).

Increase swap time between SURI Torch and weaponsĪ longer swap time is an overall small change for Maverick, but it should effectively target a common annoyance for defenders.As what I assume is a precaution to how huge his room-filling death arrows are after this patch, their damage is being understandably nerfed. As a consequence, the effect will not longer travel through walls. Ubi clarified that a new system now controls the propagation of his bolts.
