We wanted to drop in and provide some context for the changes to the turbo build timer.



What Changed in v10.20?

We returned the time between subsequent Turbo Build placements from 0.005 seconds to 0.15 seconds in v10.20. This was the value used up to v4.30.



Why Change Turbo Build?

We did so as a first step addressing several problems:

Rapid Turbo Building favors players with low ping in disproportionate ways. Taking walls (racing with another player to place a wall before them) Turtling (continually rebuilding a wall that is taking damage)

Turtling disproportionately favors defender E.g. holding mouse button vs. squad shooting at 1x1

Building piece placement accuracy Easy to accidentally place multiple pieces “at once”

Spam building Easy to spam build We want building to be a bit more deliberate





What we don’t want to dramatically impact:

How responsive building feels

The ability to perform 90s Rapidly gaining high ground by building up within single tile

The ability to “waterfall” Building wall pieces as support while falling down





Next Steps

We’re working to implement the following further changes and will update you on social channels once they’re live.
