Available until Feb 26._ Balance Changes ##### Weapons BFR Titan - Decreased damage from 90 to 88 - Increased manual action duration from 0.73s to 0.745s, causing the gun to fire slower - This change effectively decreases the BFR’s fire rate from 82RPM to 80.5RPM - Decreased damage falloff minimum range from 30m to 25m, giving the weapon a slightly shorter effective range - Decreased damage falloff max range from 45m to 40m, giving the weapon a slightly shorter effective range - Decreased damage falloff multiplier from 0.7 to 0.65, reducing the weapon’s damage at range _Dev Note: These changes are aimed at reducing the Heavy’s ability to ‘poke’ at ranged compared to the Medium and especially the Light, as we feel the ‘poke’ meta has become a bit too possible for the non-Light archetypes. With a low ammo weapon like the BFR, there’s little room to balance here, but we believe these changes should weaken the Heavy’s ability to ‘poke’. This and the CB-01 change were originally planned for 9.7, but held back for further testing. _ CB-01 Repeater - Decreased damage from 88 to 84 - Increased lever action duration from 0.71s to 0.73s, causing the gun to fire slower - This change effectively decreases the CB-01’s fire rate from 84.5RPM to 82RPM - Decreased damage falloff minimu _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2073850/view/530997415711342675]_
