Beta Designer Notes:

HRG Ballistic Bouncers’ damage was too high, so we applied a major debuff. This change was also made due to fixing a Ballistic Bouncer’s bug which caused some of the projectiles to not impact.

Addressing the issue causing the Medic Missile to be one of the least useful Medic weapons, we increased its general damage as well as the reload speed. As well, the distance needed for the missile to explode was reduced in order to help players to get more successful shots.

ZED MKIII was overpowered regarding community’s feedback, so we reduced the overall ammo for the weapon, as well as its stun power.

HV Storm Cannon’s changes were applied in order to avoid canceling Matriarch’s plasma attack and canceling Scrake’s rage too easily.
