We have a patch full of bug fixes as well as some changes to spawns in both Quick Cash and Cashout. Check out the content and balance changes here:
Balance Changes
Quick Cash
Increased the max duration of respawn waves from 25s to 30s
Increased the respawn wave timer increment for players who die just before a new wave spawns from 5s to 7s
Dev Note: The changes we made to Quick Cash spawning increased the pace of the mode. These two changes should slow the pace down a little, similar to what we had previously, while maintaining the benefits of spawn waves keeping teams together. We’ll monitor how these perform and continue to adjust as needed.
Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from spawning very close to enemy players
Cashout
Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from respawning very far away or far too close to objectives
Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from spawning very close to enemy players
