This change was meant to be in the game quite a while ago, but was missed at the time, so we are shipping it in this patch instead. This change will not only reduce its 5 shot to kill range by 5 meters across the board, but it will also make it slightly less oppressive to play against, as 4 shots will now result in 880 damage dealt as opposed to the almost lethal 980. The Obeya CR762’s very high over-damage, when combined with its very fast tap-fire capability (even at long range), places the gun as one of the conspicuously highest pressure long range weapons in the game, able to reach its optimum performance at ranges up to 77 meters when combined with Improved Rifling 3.Ĭonsequently, we are lowering the Obeya CR762's damage from 245 per shot to 220. The Joker Carbine will keep its reserve ammo buff, however. Given the changes in this patch to the OCA, we deemed it best to also pull back on the Joker Carbine’s power by reverting its Bloom per shot buff from the last pass. With the buffs to the OCA in the last major balance pass, we feared the Joker Carbine would quickly fall off and not find a place to compete anymore without some buffs to compensate. We will be keeping an eye on the Scoped N-tec 5 as the meta develops, though there are no current changes for that gun at this time. Consequently, we are reverting the N-tec 5’s maximum bloom buff. Accuracy at 10m: 33 -> 34 (used to be 36)Īfter the buffs to the N-tec’s 5 maximum bloom, it quickly became the jack of all trades for Assault Rifles again, leaving little to no room for other Assault Rifles that are less versatile to exist in the meta without the player feeling like they made the wrong choice overall.The Whisper was mostly reverted to its previous state, with one exception: the additional accuracy intended to offset the Whisper’s lack of Cooling Jacket has not been reverted, but instead has been slightly decreased. Bloom recovery per second: 5.35 -> 5.15.It has become clear that the changes were a little too aggressive, so we are pulling them back for the OCA-EW, OCA-EW SD and Whisper. The last balance pass for the OCA placed it above all of the other SMGs by a decent margin. As always, we encourage you to try them out and let us know your feedback in the forums. The patch notes below detail each change as well as some of our reasoning behind those changes. This update contains the long-anticipated Med Spray change as well as a number of small tweaks to tune weapons that previously got a little too much love. Console will have its normal maintenance starting at 9 AM UTC as well.

The patch is scheduled to start at 9 AM UTC and will last up to 6 hours. This patch will be happening on Wednesday. A new patch is going up onto the Live servers for PC.
