Spicy changes this version! 1) All classes can now shoot while shifting. Instead of your gun being disabled, it will shoot with worse accuracy instead. This used to be Assault's perk, which now gets +15% bullet speed instead. 2) The skill build system has been restructured a bit. We can now equip Legendary skills into the Epic and Rare slots. This solves a problem where once you got 2 Legendary skills on a class, any new Leges felt kind of useless. 3) The game will now Auto-Level your skills if you join a game mid-match in rounds 2 or 3. This way we can just start playing, and not have to click 10+ times. The auto-leveling takes skills from your build and still gives Leges etc. There are also a few changes to Flask types, making them more powerful and interesting. Read on below! ---- [GENERAL CHANGES] - Daily challenges for playing specific classes now work in the Conquest game mode. - Sped up ranked mode slightly, making it so players don't have to grind as much to reach higher ranks. - Made some UI improvements to the Flask inventory. Also added a new PURCHASED tab, which doesn't do anything yet, but will become a place to store flasks that you buy with Uranium. [GAMEPLAY CHANGES] - Changed bot behaviour to no longer priortize attacking the winning player in the server. This is usually a human and felt unfair. - Jumping on flat ground no longer makes your accuracy worse. Only if you jump really high in the air. - We can now shoot while shifting on all classes! However your accuracy is worse due to the movement. Machine guns and Rifles have a lot of inaccuracy, while SMGS and pistols have less. - When players join mid-match, they start with the average number of extra damage and health kits collected so far in the server. This is how XP and cash already worked. - When players join mid-match, the game will auto level skills for them. This simulates a player just spamming the right-hand side skill draft button (where your build appears). - The skill build system now allows Legendaries and Epics to show up at lower rarities. - The skill build is now split into 3 sections, clearly indicated in the menu. There is a new rule that you are guaranteed to see a skill from each of the 3 sections once per match. This helps you create synergies and combos. If you have a combo of 3 skills, put 1 in each section for a chance to play all 3 in a match. - Added a bounty system (patched live a week ago). When you get 4 kills in a row (OWNAGE!), $2000 appears above your head. Enemies who kill you get this reward. This grows up to $6000 if you get 12 kills in a row. [FLASK CHANGES] - Magnetic Flasks now only require 1 magnet to use, but they cost 3000 instead of 1500 ACID. - XP Flasks now give +50xp instead of +20xp per DNA earned, but they cost 3000 instead of 1000 ACID. - Catchup flask is improved. Instead of only giving DNA to your least played class, it gives it to all classes except your 2 most played classes. It still only costs 500 ACID to open. - Created a new flask type called "Legendary Class Flask". This is a legendary flask with a twist! It tells you what class the Legendary will be for. This changes every day at 0:00 UTC, and also whenever you open a flask. - Mystery flasks no longer give class specific Legendary flasks (as you might get stuck with a class you don't like). Instead they give the new "Legendary Class Flask" which gives more control over what class you get. [CLASS CHANGES] - Assault's first perk is now "You will move +10% faster, and your bullets travel +15% faster." It no longer lets you shoot while shifting, as ALL classes get that now. - Caster's skill cooldowns are now +50% instead of +60% faster. - When Criminals are undercover they no longer appear to enemies in the minimap. Your gang now does 70% instead of +65% regular cop damage. - Scientist's bombs will appear more frequently at vendors (50% instead of 33% of the time). - Assassin's bullets seek slightly faster during the 2s kill window. [SKILL CHANGES] - Blade Mail's max bonus damage cap is now 100 instead of 50. - Shift Attack's bonus damage now lasts for 0.8 instead of 1.0s after shifting. - Firestorm flies 10% faster through the air. - Firestorm cooldown is now 20/19/18/17/16/15/14 instead of a flat 20s. - Radiate's explosion area is reduced by 10%. - Laser Scope's bullet speed and range is reduced by 20%. - Cluster Bomb takes 0.2s longer to throw grenades for all levels. - Stimpacks heals 1 less hitpoint per shift for all levels. - Mirror Image health now ranges from 20 to 80 instead of 30 to 120. - Venom Shot seeking is now 40 instead of 50 degrees per second. - Charged Shot damage now ranges from 16 to 64 instead of 12 to 48. - Medical Supplies now pulls loot from big supply crates at 50% instead of 35% the distance. - Phase Drifting speed is now +40 to +160% instead of +50 to +200%. - Xray Vision has a higher range and reveals more enemies at higher levels. This range now also reveals rare loot crates further in the minimap. - Rambulance healing linger duration is 6 instead of 5s after you exit a car. - Backtrack cooldown now ranges from 20 to 14s, but the duration is massviely buffed to 5s to 35s (instead of 4s to 16s).
