Welcome to the PTS!

We’re glad to see that you are participating in Phase 2 the Public Test Server for the upcoming Title Update 12. The PTS is a developer build meaning that some things you encounter will be a work in progress, bugs might be present and balance changes might not be final. We want you to be a part of the journey to make TU12 the best it can be, and we highly encourage you to leave your feedback and bug reports on the dedicated PTS forums.

 

For the second PTS phase, we’d like feedback on these topics in particular:

• General Game Balance (PvE & PvP)

 

If you have thoughts on other aspects of the game, don’t hesitate to let us know!

Balance

Optimization Station

• Optimization Material drops for Rogue Agent Encounters:
  
  • Rogue Agents now drop a random stack of weapon or gear optimization materials.
  • The final rogue will drop a random stack of Tactical Assessment materials and a stack each of gear and weapon optimization materials.

 

Gear

• Weapon - PDR (AR)
  
  • Buffed damage to be more competitive within the Assault Rifle category
  • This applies to all PDR variants (including The Scalpel and Capacitor)

 

• Exotic - Capacitor
  
  • Increased magazine size to 41 (from 30)
  • Adjusted to be 40 stacks of 1.5% Skill Damage (from 50 stacks of 1% Skill Damage)
  • Increased weapon damage per skill tier to be 7.5% (from 5%)

 

• Exotic - Bighorn
  
  • Increased magazine size to 40 (from 30)
  • Buffed Talent - Big Game Hunter:
    
    • When scoped, switches to semi-automatic fire mode, dealing 450% weapon damage with each shot.
    • Headshots grant +2% headshot damage. Stacks up to 50 times. Once at full stacks, 10 stacks decay every 4 seconds until all stacks have been removed. Headshots delay decaying of stacks.
    • This change to how stacks decay should reward players who are able to continue getting headshots by allowing them to maintain their damage bonus because of their accuracy.

 

• Exotic - Scorpio
  
  • Adjusted Talent - Septic Shock:
    
    • Shooting a target applies stacks of venom, which last for 10s. Increasing stacks adds more severe debuffs to the target.
    • Duration of Status Effects is based on percentage of pellets hit on applying shot.
    • PvE Debuffs:
      
      • 1 - Poison
      • 3 - Disorient
      • 6 - Shock
      • 7 - Target takes 20% damage (from all sources)
    • PvP Debuffs:
      
      • 2 - Bleed
      • 4 - Disrupt
      • 7 - Ensnare
      • 8 - Target takes 20% damage (from all sources)

 

Skills

• Repair Trap
  
  • Buffed radius to be 0.75m (from 0.5)
  • Increased base healing amount by 25%
  • Reduced base cooldown to 40 seconds (from 60)
• Reduced PvP damage of the Shrapnel Trap.
