Combat
Weapons
V22 Volt Thrower
- Damage increased from 12.6 to 14.4.
- Developer’s Note: This is a partial revert of the damage reduction applied on 7/24, which had brought Volt Thrower damage down from 18 to 12.6.
- Tracking speed will now slowly decay over 1.2 seconds of a projectile's lifetime by a maximum of 30%.
- Reduced the amount of time spent at 540rpm before weapon heat starts to spin down by ~20%.
KKV-9SD
- Increased base magazine size from 23 to 28.
- Retuned magazine sizes at every stat value to compensate.
- Prestige Flechette Drum magazine mod stays the same at 87.
- Fixed an issue where certain magazine mods were not correctly granting any additional rounds in the magazine.
V85 Circuit Breaker
- Fixed a stability issue relating to the Prestige quality Overlocked Delimiter mod.
- This mod has now been re-enabled.
Zones
- Fixed an issue where opening the Cryo Hatch repeatedly could grant unintended amounts of faction reputation and Season XP — this action now provides the intended gains once per match.
- All actions that previously had their reputation and XP gains disabled in Cryo Archive have now been re-enabled.
General
- Fixed an issue where players would sometimes not receive Salvage or Schemas when purchasing Rewards Pass items with LUX.
- Fixed an issue with the Store where some bundle items that should have also been visible in the Catalog section were not displaying correctly.
