| 0s | yeah so we talk a bit about about some |
|---|---|
| 2s | of the weapons and how we are how we're |
| 4s | tuning them so let's start with the |
| 5s | Centennial |
| 6s | um so Centennial I personally use it a |
| 8s | lot and I always get so much flag for it |
| 10s | because you should go by use it you just |
| 13s | use it to show us that people can |
| 14s | actually use it fair enough uh but still |
| 18s | um I was kind of happy with it but it |
| 20s | was always a bit pressed for for its |
| 22s | place there was always some pressure on |
| 23s | the gun and we just want to make sure |
| 25s | that it has a bit of an easier time in |
| 27s | compares to the rest so a couple things |
| 29s | we did the primary thing is that |
| 31s | increasing the rate of fire across the |
| 33s | board by 20 percent |
| 34s | so this basically means that like uh |
| 36s | shooting uh ads shooting from from the |
| 38s | shoulders as well as the Levering |
| 40s | overall will be a little bit faster I |
| 43s | mean because you know Levering was |
| 44s | always kind of bit on the on the slow |
| 46s | side of it and it's still 20 of slow is |
| 48s | still kind of slow but it is a little |
| 51s | bit better so don't expect this thing to |
| 52s | Rapid Fire like the like the wind field |
| 54s | sea or or any of the other like smaller |
| 56s | caliber ones um but still it will it |
| 59s | will be able to just fire just a little |
| 61s | bit better a little bit faster and that |
| 63s | should just make the whole thing feel a |
| 64s | bit more like as using your control of |
| 66s | what's going on |
| 68s | yeah and it's across the board so it uh |
| 70s | includes all the aiming types so aiming |
| 73s | downside shoulder aim uh and also the |
| 76s | traits that you can use so iron repeater |
| 78s | or Levering as well |
| 80s | exactly and uh let's look at some |
| 83s | example videos done how it was before |
| 85s | and after uh starting with adsing in |
| 89s | iron sight uh the old version First |
| 107s | foreign |
| 114s | and let's look at the change with the |
| 117s | increased rate of fire |
| 135s | yeah so I think the change on that is |
| 137s | quite obvious and uh it just feels |
| 139s | better especially if you shoot that much |
| 141s | like in the video that 20 really adds up |
| 145s | uh but let's uh look at uh hip fire or |
| 149s | shoulder aim uh on the old version |
| 154s | so that was yeah |
| 157s | yeah you mix up the names there or |
| 159s | something yeah |
| 162s | because if I think yeah |
| 166s | let me just find uh okay the correct one |
| 170s | yeah so this is the hip fire I'm sorry |
| 183s | so this is the oil hit fire uh again |
| 188s | and here's the new one |
| 194s | all right so here it's much more clearer |
| 196s | now yeah so ignore the videos from |
| 198s | before the context now shoulder Aim so |
| 200s | this is like the 20 faster now between |
| 201s | this and the previous video I think |
| 203s | that's like the best comparison there I |
| 205s | mean again best thing is just try this |
| 207s | out let's let's not uh um hurt the |
| 209s | people with more gunshot sounds uh it's |
| 211s | quite a lot of ammunition in that weapon |
| 213s | but I think they got the point let's |
| 214s | move on to the next one uh I just wanted |
| 216s | to show the leveling example |
| 221s | so this is the old one |
| 225s | and uh here is the new one |
| 232s | I think this is really cool yeah it's |
| 234s | like like the 20 on top it really makes |
| 235s | a difference like it before it kind of |
| 237s | felt like so why is it not doing |
| 238s | anything now for like Split Second right |
| 240s | before it continues so it felt a bit |
| 242s | robotic |
| 243s | um and now it feels a bit smoother |
| 245s | because of that obviously still same off |
| 247s | of control issues as before and it's |
| 249s | still not the I guess most reliable of |
| 251s | levelings um I also prefer to when you |
| 253s | see when it comes to that but it does |
| 256s | have more of a I could just give more of |
| 258s | a fighting chance now all right so uh |
| 261s | again make sure to like play around with |
| 263s | the Santana test servers and let us know |
| 265s | how you feel with all the changes |
| 266s | regarding it rate of fire uh yeah so |
| 269s | I've seen people asking about this rof |
| 270s | as that is mentioned its rate of fire |
| 272s | and after the videos it should be quite |
| 274s | obvious as well |
| 277s | but uh let's move on to the Terminus |
| 280s | changes Dennis let's see what's there |
| 281s | yeah so it's the same treatment there |
| 284s | but differently |
| 286s | um so with the Terminus we've been |
| 287s | focusing primarily on the reload rather |
| 290s | than the shooting because the reload was |
| 292s | actually what made the whole thing feel |
| 293s | very slow hard to control it was like |
| 295s | taking ages to put like a new shell in |
| 297s | even a cycling mechanism not being the |
| 300s | most modern right like it has its flaws |
| 302s | like itself out like it could be just |
| 304s | like speeding up a little bit because |
| 305s | it's like a life and death thing here |
| 306s | and now by increasing the reload speed |
| 309s | by 20 which makes the whole thing a |
| 311s | little bit better to to kind of top up |
| 313s | and so it doesn't feel like you're |
| 314s | losing so much time between shots and |
| 316s | actually gives you a bit of chance to |
| 317s | respond and we're also at the same time |
| 319s | did a little bit of a smoothening pass |
| 321s | across the firing animations and and the |
| 323s | timings there that resulted in roughly |
| 325s | five percent of a fire rate increase as |
| 327s | well uh exactly and we have some all the |
| 330s | new examples for this as well uh so |
| 334s | let's look at uh some of the old version |
| 336s | of this will show a bunch of stuff |
| 338s | actually |
| 341s | so this is the fire |
| 351s | and then the reload obviously this is us |
| 353s | currently on live |
| 355s | yeah the old one slow one takes the ages |
| 358s | it was always so slow that's why I it |
| 361s | was not my favorite shotgun to use |
| 363s | actually |
| 366s | so like it gets it eventually but you're |
| 368s | probably dead two times over already |
| 370s | exactly |
| 372s | and this is the ads |
| 374s | yeah |
| 378s | and let's see how it's uh changed in 1.9 |
| 383s | so hit fire |
| 388s | so you can see like this very very minor |
| 391s | increase in in the rate of fire so it's |
| 393s | just a little bit it's more of a cleanup |
| 395s | but here this is where the magic starts |
| 397s | so this is where you actually reload |
| 399s | this thing and actually have a chance it |
| 400s | still takes a long time obviously to put |
| 401s | the rounds in just like with any weapon |
| 403s | we reload on a round of the nether but |
| 404s | overall it feels so much smoother like |
| 406s | it feels like the air weapon is actually |
| 407s | doing what you want and uh that helps |
| 410s | quite a lot |
| 411s | exactly I think it in general it just |
| 413s | feels a bit smoother and uh not that |
| 417s | super mega clunky when you reload |
| 422s | and uh let's look at the examples with |
| 424s | the Levering as well for this weapon so |
| 427s | the old version alive like is it alive |
| 432s | as you can see here like it kind of |
| 435s | fired slow but felt a fire study it was |
| 437s | more about aiming which was the issue |
| 439s | without getting the target back on back |
| 440s | on on your sides |
| 442s | um and there's too much of a change here |
| 444s | against like the five percent change |
| 445s | roughly that translates into it |
| 448s | and uh obviously the last uh trade that |
| 452s | affects it is the iron repeater |
| 456s | you can also show here |
| 462s | this is the old version again |
| 469s | and here is the new 1.9 |
| 477s | it's just a slight little change see |
| 479s | it's a bit snappier right like just a |
| 481s | little bit I think you can actually tell |
| 482s | like uh I know it's just around five |
| 485s | percent change but you can still feel it |
| 487s | a bit smoother in general so I really |
| 490s | like it |
| 491s | yeah so like between the the the |
| 494s | um Centennial terminals I mean both |
| 496s | weapons uh that I really enjoy playing |
| 498s | but like they have always had a bit of a |
| 500s | like they're always like like one step |
| 501s | below some of the competitors and uh |
| 504s | that hopefully just evens the playing |
| 505s | field a little bit brings them back up |
| 507s | more as as well the choices for some |
| 509s | people |
| 510s | awesome and uh but that's not all the |
| 512s | balance changes we have and we have a |
| 515s | very big one actually I guess in terms |
| 518s | of excitement |
| 519s | oh which is a change to the long ammo |
| 523s | pistol balance |
| 526s | yeah so from what we will talk about now |
| 529s | it will only affect the uppercut for the |
| 532s | moment for now yes that might mean there |
| 536s | might be other things up in uh coming |
| 539s | out eventually or soon or maybe a bit |
| 541s | later if we don't know we'll talk about |
| 543s | more in the future but this is in |
| 545s | preparation of that but obviously also |
| 547s | will affect the uppercut we think for |
| 550s | the better |
| 553s | exactly so this is this is basically I |
| 555s | mean just show the next one already as |
| 556s | well we're going to talk about them |
| 557s | together so this is going to be shifting |
| 559s | side Shifting the weapon slightly |
| 562s | um about reducing the damage to close |
| 563s | range just a notch just a little bit |
| 565s | while retaining actually a bit more |
| 567s | damage than it does right now |
| 568s | um um yeah over distance so the idea |
| 571s | behind this is is that um we would like |
| 573s | the uppercut to no longer down someone |
| 576s | at 125 hit points at the same range it |
| 579s | does at the moment it will still be able |
| 580s | to do it just like 10 meters less than |
| 582s | it can do right now so right now this is |
| 585s | I think 30 meters it can do that and it |
| 587s | will be around 20 meters now so just a |
| 589s | small reduction in in its base damage in |
| 592s | order to achieve that a goal so it is |
| 594s | below 125. on the other hand however it |
| 597s | retains a lot more of the damage over |
| 598s | distance which means you can actually |
| 600s | kill people on their last 50 even |
| 602s | further out than before and it has some |
| 604s | knock-on effects also obviously for the |
| 606s | headshot range so effective range in |
| 607s | order to snipe people at a distance so |
| 610s | let's have a look at that in the graphs |
| 612s | [Music] |
| 613s | um so this is I think people will be |
| 615s | kind of split whether they call it as a |
| 617s | buff or nerve we don't think it's either |
| 619s | we think it's it's a side change that |
| 621s | kind of ships the weapon just a little |
| 622s | bit so if you take a look at the old one |
| 624s | the orange one you see its starting |
| 626s | point is just a little bit higher than |
| 627s | that and that meant that you could get |
| 629s | 226 uh damage like at 30 meters and uh |
| 633s | with a with a changed version it's going |
| 635s | to be around 20 meters so that's where |
| 637s | like a bit of a nerve is happening in |
| 638s | the short range then again over distance |
| 640s | you can see the long ammo actually |
| 642s | retains that damage a little bit further |
| 644s | out so you see Rich staying over 50 |
| 646s | damage for quite some time uh before |
| 649s | dropping down and then eventually |
| 650s | obviously whether it's 19 or 12 at that |
| 652s | long distance doesn't matter that much |
| 653s | but there is a knock-on effect if you go |
| 656s | to the next one which is the headshot |
| 658s | range is that because of the way the |
| 660s | curve is adjusted and obviously headshot |
| 662s | damage is being higher and it has an |
| 664s | effect on the effective range effective |
| 666s | range is basically the stat that tells |
| 667s | you at which range can you do a headshot |
| 669s | like you want to kill 150 hit points |
| 671s | Dead and you can see right now hours |
| 672s | that you were gaining quite a few meters |
| 674s | with that 215 so that's basically the |
| 677s | weapon becomes more of a pocket rifle |
| 678s | further even because it actually extends |
| 680s | the range of the weapon quite quite a |
| 682s | bit but it is becoming a bit less |
| 684s | flexible less of an all-rounder up close |
| 687s | where maybe some of the other pistols |
| 689s | will be better choice for you you have |
| 690s | to make that your choice yourself |
| 692s | obviously because you can't just easily |
| 694s | kill that dude that you don't earlier |
| 696s | maybe just don't know one more time just |
| 698s | with a body shot |
| 699s | um because it might do now less than 125 |
| 701s | damage rather than being reliably above |
| 703s | before again this is only for this very |
| 706s | short distance of 20 meters we're |
| 708s | talking about uh so so within that |
| 710s | everything is fine as before only after |
| 712s | that |
| 713s | will it not be enough anymore to to down |
| 716s | the guy that has lost already a small |
| 718s | chunk yeah and again just to mention it |
| 720s | slightly it is basically to give place |
| 722s | maybe for something that will come |
| 725s | maybe one point |
| 727s | so so the preparation of this you can |
| 730s | already see like it's it's about like |
| 732s | moving the uppercut into a specific |
| 734s | Direction moving it into what it should |
| 737s | what it shouldn't do Etc and yes as |
| 739s | Spence was saying like this is in |
| 741s | preparation for something that's that we |
| 742s | can talk about more in one of the next |
| 744s | streams I guess exactly yeah awesome and |
| 747s | uh again just test it out on test server |
| 749s | and let us know how you feel about this |
| 751s | change as well |
| 752s | uh and I've seen people already |
| 754s | mentioning are asking for this in chat |
| 756s | but uh let's see what happens to the |
| 760s | Slugs so the slug balance pass |
| 763s | yes Slack's a big big and important |
| 765s | topic so first thing we're doing for |
| 767s | slacks is we reduce the effective range |
| 769s | for medium barrel length variants now |
| 770s | what does that mean |
| 772s | um primarily like with the shotguns when |
| 775s | you shoot shot for example |
| 776s | um there is a clear distinction between |
| 778s | the different barrel lengths of shotguns |
| 780s | we have in the game so like the Zone |
| 781s | offs being being like short barrels then |
| 784s | we have the the Rival the the Slate as |
| 787s | well as the |
| 788s | um the Specter with the bionet being |
| 791s | medium barrel length and then we have |
| 792s | the Romero the full length Specter as |
| 795s | well as the other five big long barrel |
| 796s | and that has an effect on the choke it |
| 798s | has an effect on how the weapon spreads |
| 800s | when you fire a shot |
| 802s | however I did not really have so much of |
| 804s | a difference when it comes to slacks and |
| 806s | that's something we're changing now B so |
| 808s | until now slacks have only been |
| 810s | separated between the thorn-offs and the |
| 812s | others which means in practice the |
| 815s | slacks are fired from let's say I |
| 817s | expected with a Bayonet and the Specter |
| 818s | without a buying it has been pretty much |
| 820s | the same there was no clear distinction |
| 822s | between that the only difference was |
| 823s | that obviously the bayonet gave you a |
| 824s | stronger sway for aiming which actually |
| 827s | method for slacks but the actual |
| 829s | projectile was identical Now by |
| 831s | introducing this difference is that we |
| 833s | can now bring a bit more balance into |
| 835s | the weapons that we think on the slack |
| 837s | range they kind of need that the most so |
| 840s | primarily the slate and arrival and |
| 842s | obviously has a knock-on effect for the |
| 844s | inspector buying it as well for |
| 845s | consistency now those will have |
| 848s | um just slightly less damage that means |
| 852s | less one-hit kill damage at a distance |
| 855s | so you will have just chop off like a |
| 858s | meter or two or three depending on the |
| 860s | weapon compared to their full-sized |
| 862s | versions so that means they kind of sit |
| 863s | like two-thirds I would say roughly from |
| 865s | The Zone offs towards the the full size |
| 867s | ones when they should definitely be a |
| 868s | noticeable difference |
| 870s | for how slacks will then operate with |
| 872s | these weapons we also adjusted the |
| 875s | damage multipliers to require more |
| 877s | Precision to hit the upper torso now |
| 878s | that means basically that you can't |
| 880s | score so easily anymore a Kill by |
| 883s | hitting the lower torso so you will have |
| 885s | to be a bit more precise you will have |
| 887s | to hit the upper torso keep in mind that |
| 888s | if the arm is blocking itself counts as |
| 890s | torso hit right it's the system we have |
| 891s | for a couple years now but the lower |
| 894s | torso hits on alone is meant to no |
| 897s | longer do this at the same range so |
| 899s | obviously if you're close enough fair |
| 900s | enough but at a distance at one point |
| 902s | you will have to hit the upper torso in |
| 904s | order to to get the reliable one and |
| 906s | kill so Precision matters a little bit |
| 907s | more for them it's less easy to just |
| 909s | like like hip shoot and then hope for |
| 911s | any torso hit to do the job you now need |
| 913s | to be a bit more precise there's I see a |
| 916s | lot of happy people in the chat for you |
| 918s | so yeah I like I like having people we |
| 921s | do like them and the last thing is |
| 923s | actually a reduction in the spare ammo |
| 925s | count as well where we drop down the |
| 927s | extra ammunition for when you carry |
| 929s | slacks by 30 to 40 percent so that means |
| 932s | depending on the weapon it's rounded up |
| 934s | you might lose like two or three extra |
| 936s | shells of slacks uh compared to what you |
| 939s | have on live so in combination we feel |
| 941s | that this will be quite a nice balancing |
| 944s | approach of getting the slacks a bit |
| 945s | better under control they're still |
| 946s | powerful they're meant to be powerful |
| 947s | it's basically like a caliber 50 or more |
| 950s | like like musket shot coming down your |
| 952s | range it's it's quite a big thing |
| 955s | um and it's powerful and it's meant to |
| 956s | kill if you were to build realistic |
| 959s | slacks you basically wouldn't see |
| 960s | different to rifles I guess in the game |
| 962s | at the distances that you fight with |
| 963s | except for precision maybe being being |
| 965s | different |
| 966s | um but uh since it's a game and we want |
| 968s | to make sure that shotguns and rifles |
| 970s | each have their own place and the slacks |
| 972s | Canada kind of cannibalize in uh kind of |
| 974s | like in in both camps a little bit |
| 976s | this approach of how we established |
| 978s | slacks in Hunts is something we still |
| 980s | want to hold on to but there was some |
| 981s | balance they needed in order to make |
| 983s | sure this whole thing is just that |
| 984s | better distributed and fair distributed |
| 987s | and overall more consistently applied |
| 989s | so yeah tell us what you think about |
| 991s | that one again on the test server then |
| 993s | once once once it goes there |
| 995s | um it's easy for us to do further |
| 998s | adjustments but first we want to see how |
| 999s | this one goes and then if there's if |
| 1001s | there's any feedback from your site that |
| 1002s | we should move in one or the other |
| 1004s | direction with it so this one time we |
| 1006s | asked everyone to play with this life |
| 1007s | and yeah just see the changes let us |
| 1010s | know how you feel and uh obviously we |
| 1012s | always read your feedback on all |
| 1013s | platforms and we can make changes |
| 1016s | according to how you feel about it as |
| 1017s | well but I I think and I think a lot of |
| 1021s | people can agree with it that this is a |
| 1022s | good direction for sure and it has its |
| 1024s | own place now a bit better |
| 1027s | yeah give it a try |
| 1030s | yep and let's look at the poison changes |
| 1033s | uh the fear I think I like that this is |
| 1036s | the only slide in the representation |
| 1037s | with a with a like a green header I have |
| 1039s | to go for the style then |
| 1044s | um so for poison it's uh it's basically |
| 1047s | similar changes we've been doing to |
| 1048s | incendiary bullets in the past is that |
| 1050s | for poison bullets so that excludes for |
| 1053s | example uh crossbow or any area effect |
| 1055s | stuff they just use the same damage as |
| 1057s | the normal ammunition does so we still |
| 1058s | have the handicap of not being able to |
| 1060s | penetrate walls because they're kind of |
| 1061s | like burst on impact right |
| 1065s | um but it gives you a chance to kind of |
| 1067s | play with a silenced weapon as if you |
| 1068s | had the normal one just as you can do |
| 1070s | with the incended reverse it's the |
| 1071s | normal one as well so makes the whole |
| 1073s | thing hopefully a little bit more |
| 1074s | interesting for PVP specifically since |
| 1076s | some of the weaker weapons like the |
| 1077s | Winfield Etc like you really felt that |
| 1079s | that damaged Nerf compared to the basic |
| 1081s | ammunition |
| 1083s | um so this should uh just help at least |
| 1086s | extend your ground in a fight |
| 1088s | um obviously if the guy is smart and |
| 1090s | uses cover use the disadvantage just |
| 1092s | like over some of the others um special |
| 1093s | Dimension types so I think this is just |
| 1096s | a very small change but it's also a good |
| 1097s | and healthy one I I really like it |
| 1099s | because now I will play uh Sparks not a |
| 1102s | lot more with custom ammo so I yeah |
| 1106s | uh that was it for the poison change so |
| 1109s | again yeah just one thing so |
| 1112s | systemically obviously since they have |
| 1113s | more damage it also means AI might die a |
| 1115s | few meters further out right um so as as |
| 1118s | it uses multipliers to uh kind of like |
| 1121s | calculate the total damage based on it |
| 1123s | location distance Etc right so if |
| 1125s | there's higher base damage it also means |
| 1126s | that you might kill things at a further |
| 1128s | damage out like further range out a |
| 1130s | little bit easier but we're talking just |
| 1132s | about a few meters so so someone else |
| 1134s | together so if it can't penetrate how |
| 1135s | does it deal the same damage maybe just |
| 1138s | like explaining that like the poison |
| 1140s | it's the poison that does the damage |
| 1142s | exactly |
