[2022] Game Update Notes Preview: Profession Skills

Hip Shot has been replaced with Rifle Burst. Rifle Burst delivers a quick burst of fire that pierces targets, followed by an explosive grenade. Total damage coefficient increased from 0.65 to 1.0 in PvE only.

omg, if it's no longer Hip Shot, please tell me you've also updated the animation to no longer be this super goofy hip shot one that looks terrible with 99% of Rifle skins. For 10 years I've wanted my engie to use their gun like a real person. Hell, just copy the Warrior animation, its great, and they sure aren't using it!

Solar I'm very confused in general by the direction you guys are taking here. The boon adjustments are great. The approach to class balance, however, is confusing me.

What exactly does Catalyst provide that merits its damage reduction when Spectre outperforms it in almost every meaningful capacity? I'd really like to understand what your theory is here, because I'm really not following.

Can you confirm that Sphere Specialist will not increase the quickness applied by Spectacular Sphere?
