Read all about today’s update below and don’t forget to tune in to the community stream for some TGM26 info! ##### **WORLD TOUR **| RESPEC ORDER Our World Tour stop for Update 10.3, **Respec Order**, is less of an event and more of an experiment! That means, we need your help to try it out! Back in Season 3, we used World Tour as a testing ground for various changes to Cashout mode. This gave us a chance to gather telemetry and sentiment, player feedback, and just see how small changes interacted with the game. Respec Order will do exactly the same, and your feedback will be important (once you’ve actually gotten in the game and given it a try). In Respec Order, we’re adjusting both the health values and the base movement speeds of the Heavy and the Light archetypes in Cashout mode for one week, the changes will be as follows: - **Heavy** - Health decreased from 350 to 325 - Base movement speeds (run and sprint) increased by approximately 10% - **Light** - Health increased from 150 to 175 - Base movement speeds (run and sprint) decreased by approximately 10% - Increased health regen delay from 7s to 8s Try out the Respec Order event in World Tour and see how your experience changes! To learn more about the reasoning behind this experiment, what we hope to learn, and more, please head over to this[ blog post ](https://www.reachthefinals.com/patchnotes/respec-order)from Matt Lowe, Design Director on THE FINALS.
