Update 5.12 is Live!

Update 5.12.0

BONUS XP FIESTA!

It’s time to say goodbye to the TDM event and say hello to the Bonus XP Fiesta[reachthefinals.com]! From now until the end of the season, you’ll rack up 200% XP for Daily Contracts and up to 150% XP and Fans earned for gameplay!

This week we have a few balance changes and bug fixes to check out below! Finally, the store has a fresh new update:

Balance Changes

Weapons

Model 1887

• Increased damage from 11 to 12 per pellet
• Decreased the duration of the lever-action animation from 0.85s to 0.8s, effectively increasing the weapon’s fire rate from 70RPM to 75RPM

Dev Note: Having now had time to analyse the Model’s performance on live, following our last round of balance changes, we feel we’ve maybe weakened the weapon a little too much. These changes should nudge it back to a better place.

Recurve Bow

• Increased damage per shot, when the bow is at max draw, from 120 to 124. The base damage per shot remains at 60 damage

Content and Bug Fixes

Animation

• Fixed an issue where the Spear’s secondary animation wouldn’t play if activated right after using up all the charges of the previously equipped item
• Fixed an issue where the impact animation would continuously play after blocking a shot with the Riot Shield

Cosmetics

Victory Shade Set

• Now loops and overwrites colors continuously instead of stopping after 10 eliminations
• Fixed an issue where team colors wouldn’t update when changing colorblindness settings or toggling Use Enemy Color

Concrete Smoke Model 1887 Skin

• Fixed an issue where the left hand would remain static in mid-air when playing the Prairie Twirl Deploy Animation

Gameplay

• Fixed an issue that could cause objects to have collision and be invisible if they were destroyed and dematerialized during the same frame
• Fixed a bug where the wrong item would be equipped after getting glitched and the item would be unusable

• Fixed an issue where ADS would stop working
