As part of our mid-season update planned for April 14, we've got some notable changes and updates on the way. But by popular demand we wanted to share just a few early - specifically, a preview of some of the Recon changes that are incoming.
โญ Echo Pulse: This will now distinguish between the Runner and UESC targets that are pinged. We're also reducing its visibility to enemies, making it a bit tougher for enemy Runners to gauge if they're in range. Notably, if you're a Runner who cleverly used their Signal Jammer before Echo Pulse hit you, you'll also show up as UESC. Use this power wisely.
๐ท๏ธ Tracker Drone: Your friendly neighborhood Tracker Drone is about to get a bit more aggressive. With 1.0.6 we're improving its tracking strength and allowing it to find a new target to track if it cannot reach its current target. Runner beware.
That's just a taste of what's to come. Keep some tick milk on ice, we'll share the full patch notes closer to 1.0.6's release date.
Weโve heard your feedback that having Ranked and Cryo Archive overlap can make it difficult to decide where to spend your time and hard-earned loot. Based on that, weโre updating their schedules so each has a clear, focused window.
We're going to open Cryo Archive this week on Thursday, March 26 at 10AM PT and close it on Sunday, March 29 at 10AM PT. The next window for Ranked will start on Sunday, March 29th at 10AM PT and will run for four days - until Thursday, April 2nd at 10AM PT.
Here's a quick look at the weekly schedule going forward, so you can mark your calendars:
๐ Ranked: Sunday 10 AM PT โก๏ธ Thursday 10 AM PT
๐ Cryo Archive: Thursday 10 AM PT โก๏ธ Sunday 10 AM PT
We know that no schedule is perfect, but we're here to listen and learn! As we see how this lands, we'll continue to keep your feedback in mind as we make any future adjustments.
@shoot_loot Tutorial could be more in depth that's true. Once you get the hang of the game, if you like extraction shooters, you may end up being pleasantly surprised
Weโve heard player feedback that their early runs on Tau Ceti feel too empty of other players. We've issued a change to ensure that Perimeter (Beginner) fills in more Crews than it did previously. This change is now live, let us know if you feel like you're getting into more fights than usual!
Happy hunting ๐
