As we get deeper into Season 1, we've been monitoring your feedback around the current combat sandbox closely. We wanted to talk a little about a few of the topics we're seeing frequently from the community, and some updates we're planning.
💣Too Many Grenades
A big topic in the community right now is that it's not a good experience to open up a fight only to be barraged with dozens of grenades. We're looking to push some changes to stock counts and stack sizes before the end of the season. We're keeping an eye on the overall usage of equipment and will make additional changes as necessary.
🪙Gold Ares Railgun
The Ares railgun with a Prestige mod being able to one-shot Runners with purple or gold shields is unintentional, and we'll be issuing a fix in a future update. We want it to feel strong and fun to use without being so effective it becomes overly frustrating to play against.
🔫WSTR Damage Nerf
The WSTR damage nerf was a temporary nerf and we just released a more nuanced set of changes earlier today in Update 1.0.6.2. While we aren't looking to change the two-shot breakpoints, the WSTR indeed took a bigger hit than we were intending with the temporary nerf and we intend for this change to put it in a better place.
It should have similar effectiveness against AI as before the nerf as well have less damage fallout at range. Go try it out and let us know what you think.
We appreciate everyone's input, please keep it coming.
@MarathonTheGame@Ziegler_Dev can we get a nerf on the grenades already? Make it to where you can only bring in one stack total for grenades in general or something so grenade spamming is no longer meta, thanks!
well now i can't cryo as often :/ like just let it overlap, at least a little like have cryo opened until tuesday or something? Or open the doors 24/7 for cryo and figure out a different way to stop teams from snowballing their loot so dramatically 🤷♀️
We’ve 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, we’re 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:
🐛 Ranked: Sunday 10 AM PT ➡️ Thursday 10 AM PT
🐛 Cryo Archive: Thursday 10 AM PT ➡️ 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.
@MarathonTheGame please fix thief visor freezing the game whenever it gets used and stop the game from stuttering while in use almost crashing the game
The vbucks/battlepass change coming to @Fortnite soon has to be one of the worst decisions i have seen a game dev company ever do to their players… why are we artificially causing vbucks inflation smh… instead of becoming scummy… make changes to better the actual game instead!
