Change Notes

Daedalus Assault Rifle Mercredi is now properly scaling with increases to Gun Damage and Assault Rifle damage
Ripper Grenade Buoy has received a +150% damage increase
- Dev Note: The activation range and proximity check has proven to not be as practical in combat as we were targeting. As a result, we’ve added a dramatic increase to the damage to better fit players using it as a short-range burst of damage.
Ripper Grenade Jelly damage has increased by +30%
Daedalus Grenade Buzz Axe damage has increased by +50%
Maliwan Grenade Destructo Disco base damage has increased by +50% and increased damage from its unique ability, Groove, by +100%
Jakobs Grenade Spinning Blade damage has increased by +200%
- Dev Note: We acknowledge the skill test required to catch the knife after landing a hit, and have increased the damage dramatically to reward the gameplay loop.
