Legends[edit | edit source]
- Made adjustments to Pathfinder’s and
Low-Profile Legends hitboxes. Taking shots to the hip now does torso damage instead of leg damage. This should more closely match the behavior of the other Legends. - Bangalore, Pathfinder, Caustic, Gibraltar & Bloodhound: Fixed a bug where activating a healing item would cancel the Ultimate for Legends that need to prime it.
Tracker: Increased the distance that Bloodhound can see traversal clues left by other players [but not other kinds of clues] to 25 meters.
Eye of the Allfather: Adjusted the area of effect to 125 FOV.
- Based on player feedback, we’ve reduced the “hum” audio that’s playing while using Wraith’s Kunai.
- Fixed issue where actions for Wraith would have a slight delay when her weapon is holstered and crouching or sliding while the kunai is equipped.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed players to remove the cooldown for Wraith’s Tactical Ability.
- Fixed bug where Mirage was able to stay invisible and still be able to shoot and melee when using his Ultimate on a zipline.
Launch Pad: Fixed bug where sometimes the launch pad would not launch the player.
Weapons[edit | edit source]
- Adjusted magazine size for all tiers: Base is now 16, Common is 19, Rare is 22 and Epic is 25.
- Increased vertical and horizontal recoil. Slightly increased recoil pattern randomness.
- Disruptor Rounds: Reduced Shielded damage multiplier for the Alternator by 1.7 -> 1.55.
Quality of Life[edit | edit source]
- Added option to spectate enemies after dying.
- Added option to “Invite Squad” in the Squad Tab.
UI[edit | edit source]
- Added a Death Recap to the end of match summary that will display a damage summary of your last battle.
- Improved the UI during the Match Summary to better show Battle Pass progression.
- Added In-game Survey. While playing you may get a prompt that will pop up asking if you enjoyed the last match. This data will be helpful to us so please provide your input when you see it.
