OPERATOR BALANCING
ACE
- S.E.L.M.A.’s fuse time has been increased from 3.2 seconds to 4 seconds.
- This change gives defenders a bit more time to react and find cover before the explosive charges are activated, increasing the balance between attackers and defenders.
MAVERICK
- Smoke Grenades have been added to Maverick’s loadout.
- This addition provides Maverick with more tactical options and versatility, allowing him to create cover or concealment for his team.
THUNDERBIRD
- Deployable Shield has been added to Thunderbird’s loadout.
- This new addition enhances Thunderbird’s defensive capabilities, allowing her to provide additional cover and protection for her team.
KAPKAN
- Bulletproof Camera has been added to Kapkan’s loadout.
- This addition gives Kapkan more intel-gathering options and allows him to provide valuable information to his team.
- Impact Grenades have been removed from Kapkan’s loadout.
- This change reduces Kapkan’s ability to breach and create new lines of sight, but emphasizes his role as an information gatherer and area denial operator.
TUBARÃO
- Zoto Canisters have been decreased from 4 to 3.
- This change reduces the number of Zoto Canisters Tubarão has at his disposal, balancing his area denial capabilities.
- Zoto Canisters no longer affect Maverick’s D.I.Y. Blowtorch.
