Patch notes

Patch 01.16 (20925)

18th January, 2019

PS4

HotFix 01.16

  • Re-Balanced Front Tower health.
  • Re-Balanced Tower laser damage given.

Tower Lasers now have a far greater capacity to destroy attacking Mob waves. Our recent changes to the Tower Laser and Mob health have had the desired effect of reducing game-time, however an unintended by-product of this is that we’re seeing a lot of Towers going down with little or no input from players. The following balancing changes to the Tower Laser should force more play in and around Towers to really push Mobs through. We’re also seeing players abandoning the Front Tower once its Power Core gets exposed, so we’re increasing the health of the Front Tower’s Power Core in order to make this objective worthwhile to defend.

  • Tower Lasers now have a decreased attack speed of 2s (from 0.6s) but deal a far greater amount of damage per shot (800 damage to Mobs, 600 damage to Shields and 400 damage to vehicle Hull’s and deployables).
  • The Front Tower’s Power Core now has 6400 health (an increase of 100%).
