-------------------- BALANCE --------------------

Laser, Plasma, Rail and Nano fire rate have been reduced at lower gun counts, but the maximum number of guns necessary for full attack speed hasn’t changed.
- E.g. Laser Distintegrator gains its maximum benefit at 4 guns. This is still the case but having only 1 gun now shoots considerably slower than before, but having 3 guns only shoots slightly slower than before. Having 4 guns shoots at exactly the same fire rate as before.
- Note: You can click the names of the weapons above to view charts showing the data for the biggest and smallest of each of their categories, and how the changes will impact them.
- Note: These changes only apply to laser/plasma/rail/nano of 30 CPU and below. So it doesn't impact the 'mega' versions of these weapons such as the Leviathan and Goliathon.

Why? As some of our veterans may remember, there was a period where Robocraft battles were filled almost entirely with gunbeds. Gunbeds are robots which are little more than bricks covered in lasers or plasma. They aren’t particularly creative or pretty, but they were very strong so a lot of players used them which overall stunted building creativity and robot diversity. To resolve this, we reduced the number of guns of one type necessary to deal high damage, but this in combination with the introduction of Loadouts has allowed players to have ‘swiss army knife’ robots which can have a few lasers, plasma, rail and/or nano with a majority of the benefit without having to dedicate too much CPU into each. We expect these changes to improve the situation in the following areas:

Cause players to dedicate more CPU into laser, plasma, rail and nano in order to gain the same benefit.
Increase the importance of shooting off weapons first as their fire rate will drop more rapidly than before as each one is shot off.
Offer deeper decision making opportunities as building generalist robots will be weaker.
Increase the effectiveness of using specalized and diversified robots when in platoons, rather than all playing generalist roles.

Although we don’t believe the above goals will be achieved perfectly, this is but one step towards improving the value of building in Robocraft, and the diversity of robots on the battlefield. We will continue to make changes in the future as part of these efforts. We will provide more exact data of the changes once the update goes live tomorrow. Other Balance:

Rotor Blade Recon and Rotor Blade Invader have had their flight height reduced to match the Rotor Blade Assault.
