Balance Changes
Bloodthirst Early Game
Bloodthirst Tiers enable Michael to bolster his damage resistance, grab strength, melee damage, ability cooldowns, Shape Jump speed, and more to drastically increase his capabilities. We’ve made the following change to improve Michael’s early game effectiveness:
• Increased Michael’s base damage resistance
• Increased Michael’s Bloodthirst tier 1 and 2 damage resistance
Lethal Pitch Perk
The Lethal Pitch Perk was showing itself to be far too effective in its upper tiers. We’ll be carefully watching this perk and many others to identify further balance opportunities.
• Lowered the effectiveness of tiers 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Lethal Pitch Perk
Pocket Knives
With Pocket Knives being equippable as a Starting Item for Civilians, we’ve made the decision to reduce the total number of Pocket Knives and Icepicks available on each map. We want these items to feel valuable to players and provide rare opportunities for clutch moments of survival. We’ll continue monitoring the quantity and placement of these items as well.
• Reduced the amount of Grab Escape Items (such as the Pocket Knife) spawns across all maps and locations
General
• Fixes an issue where the escape car could behave erratically while escaping
• Fixed an issue where the Redeem button in the Redeem Code menu was not working properly when using a controller
• Fixed an issue where the facial animations would sometimes not play correctly on certain characters
• Fixed an issue where players would not obtain any XP when leaving the match as a Spectator
Civilians
• Fixed an issue where the Brimstone Fuse trait effect was being calculated incorrectly
• Fixed an issue where the Loomis Reinforcements Perk Card was not working properly
• Fixed an issue where Followers would close and lock doors on the player
• Fixed an issue where players spawning in as the Police would sometimes be missing dialogue and VOIP facial animations
• Fixed an issue where collisions could cause players in the vehicle to take several instances of additional damage
• Fixed an issue where the limited promotional “Regal” Eyewear was missing for Rachel
Killer
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to kill Michael while he is interacting with the Storm Cellar and Exit Gate
• Made improvements to the knockback animations for Michael when colliding with a high speed vehicle
Maps
• Fixed an issue preventing rain VFX from appearing correctly in Public Matches
