  • The New Description is:

    • While either Tremor or Golem is active, increase Firepower by 100% and Weapon Skill Leech by 100% for you and your teammates

  • The Old Description was:

    • Using either Tremor or Golem increases Firepower by 100% and Weapon Skill Leech by 100% for you and your teammates

  • The old functionality meant that the Statue set bonus could end after 8 seconds. Reworking this set means that the bonus can now be maintained for longer.

• Will fix an issue that can cause the Trickster’s Hunt the Prey to not turn the player towards an enemy’s back if aiming down sights immediately after activation

• Will improve the targeting of the Tricksters Venator’s Knife so that it should now more consistently target a player’s intended enemy

• Will implement a change to the Anti-Duplication system so that your equipped items will not be taken into account when checking whether to re-roll a dropped duplicate

Not a bad update if we so so ourselves, and we’re sure a number of players are going to be real happy with all of this. As for when this update will be released, People Can Fly has stated that they are targeting next week, though that all depends if they can figure out a recent game crashing bug that was introduced in past updates.
