NEW COMMUNITY EVENT
As we near the end of Season 2, it’s time to boost XP to give a helping hand to those still working on that last page of the Battlepass!
We have the final community event of Season 2, and the final event featuring the community-pink rewards! Here is your mission, if you choose to accept: work together to collectively deal 18 billion in damage to enemy contestants in the next week! For the first time ever, you’ll be able to track your progress both in-game and on embark ID. Let’s make sure to end the season with a bang!
Check out today’s store update right here:
We’re also bringing some changes to the APS turret, making it less of a powerhouse, a sweet set of buffs to the Throwing Knives and a fix for the annoying Voice Chat bug on XBOX, and much more!
Let’s dive in:
Balance Changes
Gadgets
APS
New feature: The APS turret now consumes a set amount of health for each projectile it destroys
The health cost per destroyed projectile is 40%
Weapons
Throwing Knives
Reduced the delay before the first projectile spawns from 0.22s to 0.11s to make the attacks more responsive
Reduced the delay between the first and second projectile spawning from 0.15s to 0.11s to make it easier to land both knives on a moving target
Increased the initial projectile speed from 138m/s to 166m/s, increasing the weapon’s precision
Increased the primary attack damage from 60 to 63
