Other New Stuff

o Triumph Flare guns should now be available for purchase for a limited time

o To help address some exploit concerns, there were two roof entrances added to the Sunderer Garage. Both have shields applied by the Structure Shield Mod.

o Flare Gun and Deep Freeze holiday pistols magazine size from 1 to 2 and their Ammo capacity from 21 to 22.

o Increasing visibility of some vehicle tracer rounds in high light situations

o Main Battle Tank secondary weapons, MR11 Gatekeeper, Aphelion VEX-4, and M96 Mjolnir, have been added to their respective directive line.

o AI Mana, AV Mana, Spitfire turrets now should be able to be placed closer to other deployables

o Updated the names for "Deployed" construction turrets to reduce their length but maintain distinction from normal turrets. Example: "Deployed Spear Phalanx Turret" would now read, "Spear-D Phalanx Turret".

o Renamed Rusty Bent Glaive to Johari Cove

o Underbarrel Smoke Launchers now use a shorter duration smoke effect.

o NS-61 Emissary Black and gold version tooltips now use weapon's correct name. Additional changes include:

o Maximum damage from 112 to 125

o Minimum damage from 77 to 91

o Headshot multiplier from 2.0x to 1.8x

o Vertical recoil from 0.18 to 0.2

o First shot recoil multiplier from 1.2 to 1.25

o The infiltrator's Decoy Grenade has made a return. It will simulate gunfire sounds, project false radar signatures, and distract automated anti-infantry turrets (which includes the Spitfire and Deployable Xiphos turret.)

o Adjustments were made to loading screen tooltips.

o In order to help clarify and direct fire to the appropriate targets when attacking a player made base, hardened structures like walls and bunkers will now take no damage while under the influence of an active repair mod.

This will remove the health bars and hit indicators from these objects when fired upon, and hopefully help call out that other targets should be focused on before trying to bring the walls down. So in order to kill that wall, you need to kill its repair mod, and to kill that repair mod, you'll likely need to kill the turrets and defenders protecting it.



o Optics attachments have been added to all empire specific pistols.

o A bunch of new player studio items hit the store, with more releasing over the next few weeks

o Harasser decals now displays on the sides and back and we've improved camo coverage on rear cab

o Deployment screen misc aesthetic tweaks and updates

o Deployment selection defaults to Heavy Assault instead of Light Assault

o Revival timer on deployment screen, showing progress bar and time value now

o Equipment terminal optimizations: should open and process 100-150% faster

o Character/Vehicle loadout misc aesthetic tweaks and updates, new unlocked items will now be auto-equipped in the editing loadout
