OPERATOR BALANCING
RELEASE FOLLOW-UP
NOOR
"Noor's ability felt a bit short on multiple fronts, so it is receiving some follow-up changes in order to double down on his shield countering capabilities as well as his survivability. The Horus Lance Launcher will receive multiple improvements to make his ability more reactive, more punishing against ballistic shield operators when they make positioning mistakes, but also more rewarding for the risk Noor takes while equipping the launcher."
HORUS LANCE LAUNCHER
- Drilling time reduced on Ballistic Shields, soft surfaces, and solid surfaces (non-destructible surfaces) to 1.5s (from 2s).
- Guardbreak strength on projectile impact against ballistic shield operators is increased to 100% (from 30%).
- Equipping the Horus Lance Launcher uses Quickdraw animations, equip animation timings are reduced to 0.4s (from 0.9s).
- Horus Lance impact damage against an operator is increased to 80 (from 50).
- Horus Lance hitbox improvements for better accuracy and consistency.
- Horus Lance damages Ballistic shield operators while in the removal animation.
