Last Changes since the PTS
Global Event Caches - drop chances
These are the final numbers when you buy a cache from the Global Event Vendor. The goal is, that you should have a complete 6 piece of the Gear Set you want once the Global Event is over.
- 2 Guaranteed Drops in each cache plus one possible bonus item
- 45% chance that it is a Classified item
- 43.5% chance that it is a normal Gear Set item
11.5% chance that it is an Exotic item
There is also a 12.5% chance that you get a bonus drop and when you get one, you have a 90% chance to get a classified and a 10% that you get an Exotic piece
Balancing Changes
These are some of the balancing changes that are new for the Update 1.7 drop:
-
Classified Striker
- Healing Stacks reset when out of combat
-
Contamination
- The contamination damage of the Outbreak Global Event has been tuned down
Shotguns
- The Console PTS 3 got a SASG nerf, that gave it a bigger initial spread and they will keep that nerf for all platforms when Update 1.7 drops.
- So now all Weapons have a hard RPM cap, so that player can´t shoot faster than intended, and the SASG has a higher initial spread - they will not go further than that.
- From then on they will then monitor the situation and maybe add additional changes down the road
Lag and Performance
- There have been many reports about bad server performance / lag and they acknowledged it again - yes these are problems that they want to fix.
- They currently have an investigation going on, to find the exact cause of these issues
- When you have videos that document these issues – post them in the lag thread that has been up since last week
- These reports and videos will then be investigated and hopefully they have a more detailed update next week
