🤝 Community Feedback Changes
- Balance pass on Killzone and Halo Legendary warbond weapons
- Sickle rebalance
- Balance pass on several stratagems
General Gameplay
Bug Bile enemies
We broke out the bug strain that spawns Bile Warriors, Spewers, Scavengers, which could randomly become active on a mission, into its own bug strain that now is controlled by the Game Masters and will have its own visualization to show when it’s active just like other bug strains like Rupture, Spore Burst etc.
⚖️ Balancing
Primary weapons
Balance pass on Killzone and Halo Legendary warbond weapons
Problem we want to solve:
- These weapons felt a bit weaker versus similar weapons when accounting for the fact that they do not have any weapon customization.
Intent and expectation with the changes:
- Since legendary warbond weapons don't get customization, we think some of the weapons need a slight increase in their base stats to compensate.
- These will be more effective versus similar weapons, but weapons with attachments can be customized to work better in different ways.
Changes:
M90A Shotgun
