Balance Changes
General Changes
Game Modes
- 20v20: Score needed to win: 2,000 → 2,500. The extra base meant 20v20 matches ended about 20% faster than standard Conquest; this brings them back in line.
- Chance for Kill Confirmed matches has been reduced.
Agent Changes
Reaper
Napalm In The Morning (Ultimate)
- Fire status applied by napalm: 650 → 108 per 0.25 s, as part of the fire and napalm changes under the M1150 ABV below.
Ember
Juggernaut (Trait)
- The ramming mass bonus is now only active while sprinting.
- Reduced pushing strength: ramming mass bonus 215 → 180
M1150 ABV
These changes respond to Season 2 player feedback on the M1150 ABV. Much of the Fire pressure players felt came from fire world effects, so those and napalm have been toned down as well.
Flamethrower
- Fire status applied: 105 → 36 per 0.125 s
- Heat retuned for shorter bursts with faster recovery (about 5 s of continuous fire before overheating).
- Overheat Recovery Delay: 4 s → 2.7 s
- Cooling Rate After Overheat: 25 → 33
- Passive Cooling Rate: 12.5 → 22
- Heat per Shot: 1.78 → 2.88
Incendiary Launchers
- Starting charges: 2 → 1
- Placement distance: 25–70 m → 60–90 m
Armor
- Turret side armor on the bustle: 260 mm → 230 mm
Mine Plow
- Collision shape now matches the XM1V's.
Fire and Napalm World Effects (all vehicles)
- Made alongside the M1150 ABV changes, based on the same player feedback.
- Fire status applied by fire world effects: 650 → 72 per 0.25 s
- Fire status applied by napalm, including Reaper's Napalm In The Morning Ultimate: 650 → 108 per 0.25 s
Hound
Hound and both of his vehicles get a round of buffs and quality-of-life fixes. The LEO 1A6A1 is the starter tank and the first step into the Marksman role, so we want it to feel more comfortable and more rewarding to play.
Hunting Time (Ultimate)
Hunting Time could destroy enemies in two ways: by executing them at 30% HP or less, or with the missile's raw damage. Only executes granted a recast, so players often expected a recast that never came. These changes make every Hunting Time kill work the same way.
- Hunting Time now executes any enemy at or below 1,200 HP, in addition to enemies at 30% HP or less, and every execute grants a recast.
- Fixed an issue where Hunting Time couldn't execute Raketa during Rampage or Reaper during Relentless. Any enemy at or below 1,200 HP is now destroyed.
- Destroying decoys, such as the LEO 1A6A1's Decoy and the LEO 2FK's proxy, no longer grants a recast.
Hunter's Eye (Trait)
- Activation delay: 2 s → 1.5 s
Skills
- Conservative: Ability Energy cost -10% → -15%
- Camouflaged: Reticle Size While Moving -10% → -15%
- Rapid Flow: Cooldown of all abilities -25% → -20%
- Slow and Steady: Now active only when moving under 5 km/h (was under 33 km/h). Bonus unchanged: +10% turret traverse speed and aiming speed.

- MTU MB838: Overdrive on kill or assist now lasts the full 10 s (was 3 s), matching similar modules on other vehicles. Engine Power drawback removed. New drawbacks: Aiming Speed -4.47%, Reticle Size While Moving +10.24%.
