Hunters,

Patch #2 for 1.2 is now live. Below are the update notes:



AI Butcher:

• Decreased the butchers resistance to explosive damage. It can now be killed with a single BIg dynamite bundle as before.

Gunplay

• Knuckle Knife:
  • Increased the damage of the Knuckle Knife's normal attack from 31 to 45.
    
  • Slighty increased the stamina consumption of the Knuckle Knife for normal attack.
    
  • Slightly increased the damage of the Knuckle Knife heavy attack against the hive to allow 1 hit kills when striking the head.
• Machete:
  • Decreased stamina consumption on the Machete's heavy attacks slightly (will now perform 5 heavy melee attacks up from 4; that's 2 more than the heavy knife and one more than a Hatchet, giving a standalone Machete an advantage in economy).
• Cavalry Saber:
  • Decreased stamina consumption on the Cavalry Saber's heavy attacks slightly (will now perform 5 heavy melee attacks up from 4 and one more than a Riposte, giving a standalone Saber an advantage in economy).
• Sticky Bomb:
  • Changed the damage type from explosion to rending which with cause bleeding damage.
  Developer Note: In order to provide more viable options, all bosses can now be killed with 1 Big Dynamite Bundle (again) or 1 Sticky Bomb. The Sticky Bomb will still not kill the Assassin in his Insect form. During the bosses frenzy, damage recieved will still only be 50%.
  
• Bornheim No.3:
  • Slightly increased the recoil to make it harder to stay on target while rapidly firing.
• Bornheim No.3 Extended:
  • Slightly increased the recoil to make it harder to stay on target while rapidly firing.
