below the most important changes (you can see them all on above link)
Twitch
Twitch will get a buff (2 buffed twitch drones, 1 in preparation fase and another one)
In addition to these changes, the Shock Drone has been modified the following ways:
• It now moves 30% faster (this puts it on par with normal Drone speeds).
• It creates less sound when moving.
• The red light on the model has been removed.
• The range of the darts has been increased from 5m to 7m.
Blackbeard
• Blackbeard now has 2 shields, and can cycle through them with a queue system by equipping / un-equipping.
• The HP of the shields has been reduced, from 800HP to 150HP.
• The Shields’ durability is displayed on the UI.
Doc
His darts were given the ability to heal teammates. This means he can have a much more versatile role in more strategic situations. In the same way that Doc can revive himself from DBNO, Doc will also be able to self-heal as well.
Furthermore, he can now over-heal. Shooting a dart at a fully healed teammate or himself will provide a boost up to a max of 120 total health points for a limited time. The heal is 40 HP per dart, so even partially injured teammates can be over-healed. This over-heal is only temporary and will decrease 1 health point every 2 seconds back to 100 health points.
NEW GADGETS
ATTACKERS:
CLAYMORE
Some Attackers can now use the Claymore mine, a deployable gadget to cover their backs while progressing forward, flanking, or when in a vulnerable positon like sniping or droning.
Plant the Claymore and once a Defender crosses one of its three laser rays, it will explode in a front-facing directional pattern.
Claymore Distribution
We have given Claymores to Attackers who mostly play support roles, or who could benefit from having a way to watch their back.
• Thatcher loses Stun Grenades and gains a Claymore.
• Twitch loses Stun Grenades and gains Claymore.
• Glaz loses Breach Charges and gains Claymore.
• Thermite loses Stun Grenades and Breach Charges, gains Smoke Grenades and Claymore. Note: since Thermite is probably the most support oriented attacker right now, we believe Smoke Grenades will fit better with this playstyle than Stun Grenades.
DEFENDERS:
IMPACT GRENADE
Select Defenders now have access to the Impact Grenade, a grenade exploding on impact or after 1 second of throwing it. Perfect for close range firefights when things go south, and it can be used to open holes in the environment.
Impact Grenade Distribution
We have distributed Impact Grenades with two things in mind: reducing the overall amount of Nitro Cells among Defenders, and adding more active options to Defenders who mostly used their unique ability during preparation phase.
• Caveira loses Nitro Cell and gains Impact Grenades.
• Castle loses Barbwires and gains Impact Grenades.
• Smoke loses Nitro Cell and gains Impact Grenades.
• Rook loses Barbwires and gains Impact Grenades.
