Balance Adjustments

LA60 Masthead (NC Anti-Materiel Rifle)

• Flak Detonation distance from 4m to 2m.
• Crouchwalk and Standing Hipfire CoF from 2.25 to 3.5
• Crouching Hipfire CoF from 1.25 to 3
• Walking Hipfire CoF from 3.5 to 4.5

Dev Note: These changes are meant to increase the precision required to deliver the damage the Masthead is capable of.

Pelter Rocket Pod (Valkyrie)

• Magazine size from 10 to 8.

Dev Note: Mag size nerfs for weapons with limited mag sizes tend to swing the effectiveness of a weapon pretty heavily, but it's likely there will still need to be follow-up tuning to find a good middle-ground where this weapon should live.

Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

• Addressed hitching-related issues by streamlining garbage collection, these changes should help reduce hitching beyond only Amerish.
• Fixed an issue causing small white lights to occasionally appear and flicker around the screen.
• Updated NS-45 "Assassin" Pilot with the correct models for Suppressor and Darklight.
• Construction objects can no longer be placed within HMS Technologies, on Oshur.
• Updated Decoy Grenade tooltip to reflect existing motion detection functionality.
• Increased Decoy Grenade tracking pulse duration from 1sec. to 2sec., which will prevent minimap icons from flickering on the map.
• TR Sunderer Ranger no longer uses NSO reticles.

Known Issues

We're actively investigating the issue with Merit/Mentor rating loss and inability to generate more, and will deploy a solution as soon as it's available.
