General

Balance

Weapons

  • Berserker
    • Fire Axe
      • Heavy attacks now have a chance to stun
    • Battle Axe
      • Heavy attack speed reduced by 10%
  • SWAT
    • Tommy Gun ( cross perk with Commando )
      • Bullet spread increased by 195%
      • Recoil reduced by 13%
      • Upward recoil reduced by an additional 15%
      • Fire rate increased by 20% (600 RPM to 720 RPM)

Designer Note - These adjustments were in response to provided community feedback via the BETA 1 survey. The Fire Axe lacked gameplay identity when compared to its other tier 2 weapon counterparts. As such, we added the chance to stun on heavy attacks, and head shots increase that chance substantially. This will be the first melee weapon that can stun.

As for the Battle Axe, its heavy attack damage is substantially higher than all of our other melee weapons, and the speed of those heavy attacks felt a bit too fast for its damage output. We adjusted the speed down to counteract that immense damage.

Lastly, the Tommy Gun’s recoil felt too high, and its fire rate felt too slow. We adjusted both values so that it is easier to control the gun and fire faster with it. We also increased its spread so that it is not effective long range. Community feedback mostly wanted this weapon to be effective close to medium range, so the spread adjustments should align it better to those ranges.
