Runners keep runnin’ - new balance tweaks & bug fixes coming in hot 🔥
These changes aim to keep the Chaos Exploder Rifle in check, while giving other Shotguns a chance to shine too. Consumables & utility items have had a drop rate pass, and bugs with Vending Machines & Supply Drops are fixed. Take a look:
BALANCE
🔶 Chaos Exploder Rifle’s explosion damage to environment and players, explosion radius, fire rate, and headshot multiplier are reduced. It now equips faster.
⏫ Maven Auto and Extending Focus Shotguns damage increased.
↘️ Chug Jugs and Vault Keys are less common.
↗️ Brick-A-Bunkers are more common.
FIXES
💰 Fixed Vending Machine prices in Build Zero Build.
🐠 Fixed an issue causing WAAAAAYYY too many Midas Floppers to drop (sorry anglers).
📦 Adjusted drop rates for consumables and you will always find shields in rare ammo boxes.
🎈 Supply Drops should no longer be empty in Competitive.
Launch day's looking good! 🙌 We just dropped a few quick balance tweaks to fine-tune the fun:
💥 Chaos Exploder Rifle now deals slightly less damage and has a smaller magazine size
💣 Overdrive Grenades now drop more frequently
⬆️ Striker Pump Shotgun now equips faster
🔫 Lancehead Pistol now deals more damage, performs better at range, has improved handling, and drops more frequently
🔄Extending Focus Shotgun (Triple Barrel) now reloads faster
🗝️ Vault Keys are now significantly less common (more of a bug fix than a balance adjustment)
