The final v7.10 Content Update is available now, Epic addressing quite a few prominent player complaints, along with bringing with it some surprises. The biggest story on the day will probably be the nerfs to a handful of choose in-game items that players have hated on recently, but you'll find a few surprising vaultings and un-vaultings as well, in addition to one new legendary weapon.
1. Plane Nerfs
Players have already fairly considerably been asking for the Stormwing X-4 plane to become vaulted because it is such a dominant, overwhelming force in season 7 so far, but Epic is attempting some nerfs alternatively.
Knockback from plane harm has been reduced by 70%
The plane will take 50% extra damage when hitting structures and its damage reduction while boosting by way of structures is no longer 50%, but only 25%
Plane machine gun spread has been increased by 75%(!)
Plane spawn rates are now 80% as an alternative of 100% so they won't usually be where you feel there are 20% of the time
Planes now can't fly above the develop limit, which was a bug
These are some considerable nerf, and I feel the spread with the plane's MG is going to be a reasonably enormous deal as it is virtually doubling its aerial inaccuracy. Players also have much more recourse to fight back with a great deal less knockback. That is going to be fascinating.
2. Boom Box Nerf
Another fan-requested transform here, as numerous are railing against the new anti-building device. And a few alterations have been made:
Boom Box drop price has been lowered by 33%
Boom Box wellness has been reduced from 600 to 400
Boom Box duration is down from 25 seconds to 18 seconds
Practically nothing on its variety, but with significantly less well being and significantly less use time, they are considerable nerfs all the identical, and I'm curious to determine how this shakes out in game.
3. Vaulting and Unvaulting
It was mentioned ahead of time that the Six-Shooter was getting vaulted, but surprisingly, the burst AR has been vaulted too. Nicely, 3 versions of it, the uncommon, popular and rare variants. The epic and rare FAMAS variants nevertheless reside. Epic appears to ultimately vault all their "old design" weapons, which the original burst AR is like the original SMG, so we could just be seeing a visual redesign at some point.
Dual Pistols happen to be unvaulted with no apparent stat adjustments, so we'll see how relevant these are in the present meta now.
4. Suppressed Sniper
Usually, a brand new weapon is at the major with the list with regards to relevant patch updates, but not this week. The suppressed sniper is an epic/legendary that has a little less power than its bolt action brother, nevertheless, it makes much less noise consequently. You're nonetheless going to become in a position to one-shot similarly towards the bolt-action although with 100/105 harm and a large headshot multiplier, and I don't imagine this will be particularly game-changing.
