Heya Commanders! v28.30 in Save the World focuses on Hero balance adjustments to shake up your roster, and fixes for some long-standing issues the community has reported.
All Perk adjustments detailed below affect both the Standard Perk version and Commander Perk version, unless otherwise stated. Let's take a look!
Hero Balance Changes
Cloaked Shadow
- Increased Corrupted Aura’s base damage.
Staredown Southie
- Reduced the time between shots for Bear Stare .
Fireflower Eagle Eye
- Increased the base damage of the fireworks for Parting Gift.
Tricera Ops Ramirez
- Saurian Vigor has a shorter time between heals.
Black Knight Garridan
- Knight’s Impact now also reduces the cooldown of Goin’ Constructor for each elimination with hardware.
Red Willow
- Increased the base damage of Holiday Surprise
Sentinel Hype
- Going And Going increases D.E.C.O.Y. 's duration even longer.
Warden Kyle
- B.A.S.E. M.D. provides increased base health regen.
- B.A.S.E. M.D. now also provides energy regen.
- A heal-over-time effect now persists for a few seconds after stepping away from the B.A.S.E. structure.
Venturion
- Blast Kick now deals increased base damage, and its damage type is now Energy.
- The Standard version of the Blast Kick perk now also fires all five projectiles .
Prickly Patroller Ramirez
- Increased the overall damage of Prickly.
- The Standard version of Prickly now also gives enemies Affliction damage over time, similar to the Commander version of the perk.
Blakebeard
- Peg Legs break faster, more closely match the Power Level of the current mission, and only 6 can be held at a time.
- If you open a chest while already holding 6, a bonus Cannonball Grenade and Coconut drop instead.
- Reduced the number of Coconuts and Cannonball Grenades that drop from Blakebeard’s Stash at a time, and limited how many can be held at once.
- Chests now despawn after one minute.
- Moment-to-moment gameplay with Blakebeard’s Stash should feel largely the same, a grab bag of fun items falling out of enemies to keep your damage and health high, while not reducing the challenge of missions at lower difficulties.
- As part of this change, we have also added an option for players to refund their resources invested into their current Blakebeard if they wish.
Improvements and Bug Fixes
- We’ve separated the Filter and Sort selections for Perk Loadouts. You can choose between current Auto sort or now sort Alphabetically.
- The Contender now properly stuns enemies, and the stun has been increased to persist for a short time after enemies have been knocked back.
- The Primal Shotgun’s Frenzy perk for eliminating a Mist Monster now persists after switching weapons.
- Bull Rush now more consistently grabs husks that are very close to you.
- Fixed an issue where the headshot explosion perk was not working as intended for some weapons.
- The Structure Healing perk now works correctly for Traps.
- Downed Chrome Husks no longer attach themselves to a player when heavy-attacking them with Sir Lancelot.
