Update 5.12.0

After a short delay this week…

It’s time to say goodbye to the TDM event but today we say hello to the Bonus XP Fiesta! From now until the end of the season, you’ll rack up 200% XP for Daily Contracts and up to 150% XP and Fans earned for gameplay!

This week we have a few balance changes and bug fixes to check out below! Finally, the store has a fresh new update:

Balance Changes

Weapons

Model 1887

Increased damage from 11 to 12 per pellet
Decreased the duration of the lever-action animation from 0.85s to 0.8s, effectively increasing the weapon’s fire rate from 70RPM to 75RPM
Dev Note: Having now had time to analyse the Model’s performance on live, following our last round of balance changes, we feel we’ve maybe weakened the weapon a little too much. These changes should nudge it back to a better place.

Recurve Bow

Increased damage per shot, when the bow is at max draw, from 120 to 124. The base damage per shot remains at 60 damage

Fixed an issue where the Spear’s secondary animation wouldn’t play if activated right after using up all the charges of the previously equipped item
