[ Misc Gameplay Changes ]
Sprint is now always considered active as long as you are out of combat (haven’t taken or dealt damage for 5s, healthbar is now a little transparent when out of combat).
Fixed various inconsistencies and scenarios with how Sprint speed was calculated. Previously there were many conditions that could result in you losing the bonus.
Patron (Weakened) now has 40hp/s regen when it has not taken damage for 30s
Medic Troopers no longer use their heal on troopers if there is a hero within 30m
Zipline Speed Boost cooldown reduced from 420s to 380s
Damage over time no longer prevents zipline usage
Adjusted how the Anti Backdoor system works. It does a little less % damage reduction now, but it regens “backdoor damage” dealt to it over time. Backdoor damage is defined as any damage taken with no candle troopers within 50m in the last 20 seconds.
Troopers run speed increased from 9.1 m/s to 10 m/s
Troopers DPS vs Patrons reduced from 110 DPS to 80 DPS
Troopers DPS vs Walkers from 110 DPS to 80 DPS
Troopers DPS vs Base Guardians from 110 DPS to 80 DPS
Crate Powerups: Removed Zipline buff as a potential drop
Crate Powerups: Increased Health Regen drop from 1.25% Regen to 1.5%
Crate Powerups: Added Fire Rate drop, provides +20% Fire Rate for 25s
Vault base bounty increased from 200 to 225
Fixed some issues that allowed players to more easily camp players in the spawn area
Note: 10% of users will default to vulkan rendersystem. If you experience any issues related to this, you can report these on the forums and switch to dx11 in the video settings. Deadlock will eventually drop support for dx11 and render on vulkan exclusively.
