If you have any feedback, please let us know in our #game-feedback channel.
New weapons: Marksman Rifles
Mark-1 Rifle:
This marksman rifle comes in 4 different rarities, is a primary weapon and can be used by all suits. The MARK-1 rifle is optimized for long-distance infantry battles. It’s also a very popular option of special forces for night operations where several targets have to be taken out quickly at a distance. It doesn’t have the same piercing impact as a sniper rifle but offers much higher fire rates and easier usability.
A new archetype that’s a mix between AR and SR. The weapon is best used in aim mode for a higher crit chance. The weapon is much more accurate when stationary.
Balance Adjustments
- The Nuclear Fallout perk has been improved, duration has been increased to 7s from 5s and damage has been decreased to 300 from 200 per second.
- Thermonuclear Strike now deals 4000 impact damage instead of 2000 and additionally 400 damage per second up from 200.
- Movement ability cooldowns have been decreased across all suits by 1-2 seconds.
- The Destroyer and Frontliner movement abilities now have no delay.
- Most weapon reload times have been decreased, especially weapon types with longer reloads (e.g. Heavy Weapons reload times have been decreased by 1.5s, Assault Rifles by 0.5s).
- The Mjolnir GL now deals 1500 area damage up from 1250 and also has an increased area of effect size up to 1.4m from 1.2m.
Damage from the Thunderous Release perk has been increased from 750 to 1000.
- SMG’s Rounds per Minute (RPM) have been increased across the board by around 100 but damage has been decreased accordingly, meaning the Damage Per Second (DPS) stays the same.
