NEW PATCH - the proper patch notes are coming but I wanted to make sure that some info was out there already. What follows are the changes for this update related to balance, etc., that game designers have done. There's a lot more of course, and you'll be getting proper patch notes soon.

NOTE #1: Campaigns have been patched out but it's a system that we control behind the scenes and the go button has not been pressed yet! Expect them to be started tomorrow once we've confirmed the stability of the latest update.

NOTE #2: This is not the "big" pen/toughness/LP revamp, as that is a big job planned for the following patch. You should start seeing changes related to it showing up on UAT as soon as next week.


Changes (from Game Designers)

• RTS weapons are now fully moddable except for the following: Abaddon’s Grace, Sternguard Bolter, Gatekeeper’s Bastion. These will be made moddable in the following patch, but are slightly more complicated than the rest.
• Setup phase time has been increased from 90s to 180s to give more time for players to load in.
• Sprinting turn rate has been significantly increased for SM tactical, ground assault and apothecary, CSM traitor, traitor assault and sorcerer, and Ork shoota, slugga and painboy.
• Jump Pack wargear have had their costs and stats changed across the board. Stormboyz, Raptors and Assault characters can potentially be even more maneuverable than before, but manoeuvrability wargear costs significantly more than it did before.
• The Swooping Hawk’s Wings of Grace have had their cost increased to 150 and their fuel regen changed to 30%.
• Increased price of Lashsword to 380 LP (before mastery).

• Added unique looks for CSM Multi-Meltas.

Bug Fixes (from Game Designers)

• “Standard of Precision” node name has been changed to “Standard of Certainty” to match the item it rewards.
• Storm and Fury Tempest Launcher now fires one big projectile as its text describes.
• Flesh Circle now triggers the correct vfx when hitting Khorne characters.
• Secondary fire on the Reaper Launcher now correctly triggers a cooldown.
