DEVELOPER’S NOTES

[DA FASE 1 A FASE 2]

Fonte: Board Ufficiale

We are immensely grateful for all the feedback we received following Phase 1 of the TU22 and Seasons 2.0 PTS, and we want to share our findings and next steps based on your experiences on PTS.

NEW WEAPONS AND GEAR

Strega Exotic FAL

• Strega was not functioning as intended during Phase 1, as it had infinite range and indefinite stacks, both of which have now been fixed. We will review the results from Phase 2 to assess the remaining values.

Legatus S.p.A. Brand Set

• 2 pieces bonus was updated:

• Optimal Range was increased from 50% to 70%

Virtuoso Gear Set

• 4 pieces bonus was updated:

• Range was changed from 30 to 25 meters

• Timer was increased from 10 to 15 seconds

PRIORITY OBJECTIVES

There should be an option to abandon objectives.

• We implemented an “Abandon” feature to Priority Objectives as a way for you to skip activities you’re not interested in.

• Plus, we’ve removed some Objectives that were holding up progress because they were time-limited and couldn’t be completed quickly for a smoother experience and faster progression. For example, Settlement Blockade is now removed from the rotation.

SEASONAL MODIFIERS

UI issue with range dependencies for Stellite Coating.

• The description was incorrect and misleading, so we updated it. There wasn’t any connection between the color and functionality – now, the icon changes color depending on the range from which the enemy must be taken down (short, medium or long), and the bar shows how many stacks you need to deplete. You deplete the stacks with each shot.

Stellite Coating range felt frustrating.

• We are aware that Stellite Coating is the most abundant modifier globally. As you have already noticed, this is due to the fact that common enemies are the most likely to have it equipped. Unfortunately, we do not have a limit on how many members of a fireteam can have the same modifier equipped at once. However, we will take the following actions:

• Remove the eligibility for Stellite from a couple of common enemies, such as Black Tusk Assault and Thrower, and assign them to a scarcer modifier, like Master of None or Requital (as Terrify requires the NPC archetype to be exclusively melee).

• Slightly lower the chance for each enemy to have a modifier equipped on higher-end difficulties, like Heroic (from 80% to 65-70%, for example).

BALANCING

WEAPONS AND TALENTS

Sledgehammer and Mosquito Song Talents.

• Since a lot of players weren’t happy with the changes to the Sledgehammer Talent, we’re going to switch it back to how it was in TU21 (the current live version). However, Mosquito Song will keep its updated Talent. Here’s how the Damage to Armor debuff will look:

• Sledgehammer: 15%

• Perfect Sledgehammer: 20%

• Mosquito Song: 25%

• Both the Sledgehammer and Misquote will now have a team-wide buff.

St. Elmo’s Engine Exotic AR

• The Phase 1 nerf was minor as the M4 that the Elmo is based on is getting a damage buff, which will also enhance the Elmo. We hear your complaints, and the “-10 Rounds” nerf will be reverted in Phase 2.

Ouroboros Exotic SMG

• If you compare Ouroboros to other Exotics, including the St. Elmo’s Engine, you’ll see how much more overpowered it is. To achieve balance, it needed a more significant adjustment. Similar to the St. Elmo’s Engine, the “-10 Rounds” nerf will be reverted in Phase 2. The rate of fire was also adjusted following Phase 1 from 1275 to 1250.

Obliterate Talent

• We agree that dropping from 25 to 17 stacks is too much of a nerf, so we’re going to adjust the max stacks to 20 in Phase 2.

GEAR AND BRAND SETS

Striker’s Battlegear Gear Set

• We saw a few mentions of players being happy with the Striker’s changes and we need to mention that only the backpack was changed. The main functionality of the 4 pieces is still there and just as powerful. In Phase 2 the value of the Backpack stacks will be brought from 0.85% to 0.9%.

PATCH NOTES [FASE 1]

SEASONS 2.0

Seasonal Journey

The new Seasonal Journey introduces a structured progression system with 7 sequential missions, each containing 8 objectives. It is designed to guide players through the early stages of each new season, offering a mix of challenges and goals that introduce key mechanics. Available from level 1, even new players can jump right into the current season’s content.

The entire Seasonal Journey unlocks at the start of the season. As you complete each mission and objective, you’ll earn various rewards, including XP, Season Pass XP, progression-boosting items, resources, and active modifiers. Completing the entire journey will grant you a unique cosmetic item.

Seasonal Modifiers

The Seasonal Modifiers are central to each season’s unique gameplay, spicing up the usual rules and mechanics of the game. There are four distinct types of modifiers, each playing a crucial role in shaping player experience:

• Global Modifiers set the overall theme of the season and are active at all times while the system is enabled, affecting the core gameplay loop.
  • In the first season, the theme is “range.” The Global Modifier, “Point Blank,” grants a bonus damage based on distance from enemies.
• Active Modifiers function like “ultimate” abilities, giving your character a short burst of power.
  • Players can choose from a selection of Active Modifiers, but only one can be equipped at a time. For the first season, they manipulate the range zones set by the Global Modifier.
• Passive Modifiers work in conjunction with the Global Modifier, adding extra bonuses.
  • Players can equip up to three Passive Modifiers simultaneously. In the first season, these modifiers provide additional benefits based on the range zones from the Global Modifier.
• Hostile Modifiers: These represent how the enemies adapt to your new abilities.
  • As players progress through the season, enemies will gradually gain new abilities linked to specific enemy types, forcing you to use the Global, Passive, and Active Modifiers strategically to counter them.

The modifier system can be disabled at any time and is mutually exclusive with global events, allowing players to control how they engage with the seasonal challenges.

Priority Objectives

The Priority Objectives system offers a variety of short-term objectives, enhancing the way players can farm for items and resources in the game. The Priority Objectives system becomes available upon reaching level 30.

Players can choose from three objectives, selecting one based on limited information such as duration, reward category, and mission type. Once a selection is made, it is locked in, and the full details of the objective and its rewards will be revealed.

If none of the objectives appeal to the player, the system allows for rerolls. Players can earn reroll points by completing Priority Objectives, with a maximum of three rerolls stored at any time.

There is no limit to the number of Priority Objectives a player can complete, and rewards include XP, Season Pass XP, items, resources, and passive modifier unlocks.

Manhunt Scouts

Manhunt Scouts is a new system that drives the game’s narrative by requiring players to complete weekly activities that reward them with equipment, XP, materials, and, most importantly, new collectibles.

Each week, players can tackle a Scout, which consists of three different activities. These activities will vary, and players must solve a small riddle to complete each one. Activities should be completed in order, and once all three are finished, players will receive the Scout Reward.

Once all activities in a Scout are completed, players will receive a bigger reward, including a unique collectible. However, new Scouts cannot be accessed until the current one is completed.

By the end of the season, completing all Scouts unlocks the Manhunt Climax Mission, and finishing that unlocks the Master Climax Mission, so make sure to stay on track each week.
