Greetings Adventurers,
With this PTR release, we adjusted a number of aspects of Outpost Rush in hopes of creating a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. Here is a list of some of the more exciting changes:
Outpost Rush
- Multiple AI and visual bugs have been addressed.
- AI and siege weapons have received a balance pass.
- Scoring mechanisms for contribution have been reworked:
- Dealing damage now increases player scores.
- Reduced the amount of points granted from killing enemy players.
- Reduced the amount of points granted from killing enemy AI.
- Adjusted game mode participation rewards:
- Faction Tokens are now granted on match completion.
- Outpost Rush Caches now reward 2 pieces of Outpost Rush specific armor and an Outpost Rush specific weapon. In addition, there’s also an added 15% chance of receiving a 4th item which may be a piece of Outpost Rush specific Jewelry.
- Significantly increased the likelihood that Outpost Rush Cache rewards will increase player Expertise ratings.
- Outpost Rush gear now rolls from a fixed list of perks that are more ideal for PvP combat. This means that traits like “Beast Ward” will no longer be found on Outpost Rush gear.
- Removed “Beast Ward” from “Illusory Enigma” and replaced it with “Keen”. Please note that this change isn’t retroactive and it will only apply to new Illusory Engima’s granted after the patch.
Note: We listed a note that will be available starting the next PTR patch. Please find it below:
- Outpost Rush now rewards Umbral Shards on completion of a match. 100 shards for the winning team, and 50 shards to the losing team. Players must meet the minimum score threshold to be eligible for this reward.
