  • Removed more exploitable spots against Prowlers in Bloodhound’s Trials.
  • Fixed issues with loot spawning in unreachable places in both Kings Canyon and World's Edge.
  • Fixed an issue with players being able to move at walk speed when downed.
  • Fixed an issue with Prowlers not killing Mirage Decoys in one swipe.
  • Fixed issues with Ninja controller layout and death boxes.

Undocumented changes

  • Added a charge tower to the Firing Range.
  • Revenant and Pathfinder now take slightly less damage from Caustic's gas. This is a bug.
  • Reactive skins now evolve when the player kills DUMMIEs in the Firing Range.
  • Increased health cost for Octane’s Stim.svg Stim from 10 to 12.
  • The “Get 12 assists” daily challenge has been changed to "Get 12 kills or assists".

Developer notes

  1. The intent of these changes is to create openings where enemies can breach Wattson's positions. It is still possible for Wattson players to hold a position with a trophy indefinitely, but that should come at the cost of using Ultimate Accelerants.
  2. Increasing Wraith’s tactical cooldown has proven to be ineffective at curbing her exceedingly high win rate and kill rate. These changes are meant to disincentivize Wraith players from using Phase Walk as a “get out of jail free” card, and move it into more of a repositioning and scouting ability.
