¶ Changes
¶ Open Me!
¶ Patch 6.0
¶ SDM
- Fixed issue where critical shots didn't have the appropriate sound.
¶ SDM Focus variant
The SDM Focus variant has been adjusted particularly for lapping scenarios. It was easier to play than spec and much safer due to mono and the ability to sling focus shot while stutter-stepping.
¶ Focus
- Base energy cost down from 20 -> 19
- Every level of SDM skills reduces the cost by 3 instead of 5. At max level, it costs 10 energy instead of 5.
- Increase the charge cooldown by 2s at max level, but tuned down the scaling so early levels don't suffer too much from the increased CD.
¶ Opportuned Shot
This ability was underused because it was very inefficient energy-wise and could be skipped entirely. It has been adjusted to be more viable.
- Energy cost down from 30 -> 10
- Cooldown up from 12 -> 30
- Added 60% damage amp during the ability (roughly equals ~15% crits with 5x multiplier)
- Made it so 8 bullets could be shot OR 2s passed before the ability ends
- Made it so Focus can't be used alongside it
Removed the "Reduces movement speed by 30%" Penalty
¶ Monomolecular wire
Level 1-3 monomolecular wire ability is now equal to base variant level 1-3 monomolecular wire ability.
-
Damage down from 1250/2500 -> 800/1600 at lvl 1 and 3 respectively
-
Energy cost up from 75 -> 85 for the lvl 3 ability
-
CD up from 25s -> 26s for the lvl 3 ability
¶ Patch 5.19
-
SDM Focus variant subgroup priority now properly matches the SDM's
- Previously was 0, or the last one you'd tab to
-
Fixed an issue with the Focus variant's Monomolecular Wire not having sound effects
¶ Patch 5.18
-
Changed the damage type of Mono Wire to ranged from spell
-
New variant for SDM released, Focus
