PATCH NOTE: NEW AGE

Dec.01,2021

Character

 

Chrono 

The force field can no longer be shot through.
"Time Turner is no doubt one of the stronger skills in the current meta because players are too safe while attacking from inside the shield. The instant-deployable force field leaves no room for opponents to react. We’re making Time Turner’s shield a two-way protection so players can no longer shoot the enemies outside, therefore leaving room for counterplay. With this change, we’re giving the force field a longer duration and more HP so when you activate Time Turner, you know you will be safe inside the shield."

Time Turner:
Creates a force field that blocks 600 -> 800 damages from enemies -> all sources.
All effects last for 3/3/4/4/5/5s -> 4/4/5/5/6/6s.
Cooldown: 250/242/235/229/224/220s -> 180/164/150/138/128/120s.
Removed: One can fire at outside foes from within the force field.
Removed: Movement speed increases by 5/6/7/8/9/10%.
New: The force field blocks all damage sources from the inside and the outside.

 

Maxim 

Decreased the time reduction of using Med Kits.
"The buff received from Gluttony was a bit too fast so it allowed players to rely on this skill to stay in the play zone for longer. We’re reducing Gluttony’s speed by a bit to make sure nobody can stay in the play zone for too long."

Gluttony:
Eating and using MedKits faster by 15/18/22/27/33/40% -> 5/8/12/17/23/30%.

 

EP recovery increased, MAX EP increased.
"The Psychology Mode in Master of All is currently a bit too slow so it is difficult to switch to Jiu-jitsu with enough EP. We’re giving this skill a bit more power so it keeps the user’s HP and EP at a healthy level throughout the rounds."

Master of All:
Psychology Mode: Recover 2->3 EP every 3/2.8/2.6/2.4/2.2/2s -> 2.2/2/1.8/1.6/1.4/1s, up to 100/110/120/130/140/150 -> 150/170/190/210/230/250 EP.

Players will take turns to choose the weapon for themselves and their enemies every two rounds.

Map adjustments for Academy and Mill.

 

Backpack Limit

Added restrictions on the maximum number of items that can be carried.
"Currently, players can carry more than 3 Gloo Walls or utility Grenades into the next round of Clash Squad and this makes it difficult to come back under such a utility disadvantage.

Can no longer carry more utility grenades than the limit during the round.

 

 

Battle Royale

Thompson - Effective range -3%

MP5-X

Rate of fire: +5%.

 

Kar98k 

Rate of fire increased.

Rate of fire: +10%.

 

Groza

Weapon Swap Time

Adjusted the time it takes to swap to a different weapon.

The time it takes to swap weapons will now vary according to the type of weapon being used.

Gameplay

Assists will now display on the HUD.
