The original design was that Brittle was caused by Ranged and Melee Damage, and Sand Devils would also only be created by those damage types as well. We will see how this plays out and may eventually limit it to only those damage types.  = Ritualist = - Prime: Fixed a bug causing Amplitude to have a double stacking effect on Vile. - Wrath: Increased Damage Bonus from 20% to 25% at Max Level. DEV NOTE: While Ritualist is already quite strong, we wanted to ensure that their strength wasn’t entirely Status Damage so that they could also be used as a Secondary Archetype more effectively. This is a slight buff to benefit all damage in either scenario. = Gunslinger =  - Sidewinder: Reduced the Reload Time Decrement from 10s to 6s. DEV NOTE: This change allows for a few more Swap Reloads with Sidewinder at the base duration of 60s. Previously, 7 were possible. With this update, 11 are possible. Of course, it still benefits from Duration Increases as well.  = Archon =  - Power Creep: Increased Mod Refund & Mod Generation Bonuses from 5% to 10% - Chaos Gate: Increased Mod Generation from 5% to 10%. - Chaos Gate: - Fixed an issue where VFX were still visible to clients after deactivation. - Havoc: Fixed an issue causing Havoc to be staggered in some situations. - Havoc: Fixed an issue where abilities would cancel after going through a Labyrinth portal. - Havoc: Fixed an issue causing inconsistent Cooldown Refund behaviors. - Havoc: Fixed an issue causing Blink to trigger AOE Explosion Twice. - Havoc: Fixed an issue that allowed Footwork and Swiftness to multiply Speed Bonus. DEV NOTE: Havoc Form was incorrectly labeled as always in “AIM” mode, which allowed Footwork and Swiftness to stack while applying to Lighting Hands and Shield. This is no longer the case, but Movement Speed Bonuses will still apply to both (just not AIM Bonuses).  - Havoc: Reduced Lighting Hands Base Damage from 56 to 48. - Havoc: Reduced Movement Speed while Firing Lighting Hands. - Havoc: Slightly increased the cost of Lighting Hands time decrement per pulse. DEV NOTE: The combination of Movement Stacking Bonuses and Fire Rate Stacking - which is still enabled – allowed the Archon to easily circle strafe some of the most challenging content while holding down Lighting Hands. Repositioning with Blink was almost never required due to the Speeds that could be attained. This change allows the Archon to retain their maximum Speed Bonuses during normal movement and reduces the evasive effectiveness of simply strafing while firing. We also boosted the Archon’s overall Mod Generation through Power Creep, and added a bit more back to Chaos Gate. = Engineer =  - Vulcan Turret: Fixed an issue causing Turret to miss shorter enemies like Hollows or Parasites.   [ Gear / Items ] [ Ranged Weapons ] - Trinity: Increased Base Damage from 42 to 44 per bolt (126 to 132 per Shot). - Thorn (Blowback): Added Mod Damage Scaling to Blowback

values when upgrading.   [ Melee Weapons ] - Mirage: Fixed a UI issue causing stats/description to break the bounds of the Tooltip. - Mirage (Cyclone): Enabled Proper Damage Type scaling (Melee + Elemental) - Crystal Staff: Fixed Incorrect Damage Scaling Values. - Crystal Staff: Lowered Base Damage to account for proper 3x Damage Scaling (net Buff) - Crystal Staff: Fixed an issue where Inspect information as displaying incorrectly. - All Katanas: Increased Backstep Damage Scalar from 0.9 to 1.45 per hit. - Steel Katana: Increased Critical Chance from 11% to 13% - Edge of the Forrest: Increased Critical Chance from 9% to 11%   [ Weapon Mods ] - Explosive Shot: Fixed an issue preventing proper damage scaling based off Weapon Level. - Song of Eafir: Fixed an issue allowing damage to register as Weakspot Hits vs some fliers. - Scrap Shot: Fixed an issue preventing damage from updating in the inspect information. - Flying Bomb Trap: Fixed an issue that allowed Flying Bomb Trap to damage allies.   [ Weapon Mutators ] - Failsafe: Fixed incorrect refund calculations for Mods that spent Multiple Charges at once. - Ingenuity: Fixed an issue causing Level 10 Bonus to break reload on any non-heat weapon. - Pressure Point: Fixed an issue where Level 10 Bonus triggered twice on Mod Activation. - Weaponlord: Fixed description of Primary Effect. - Slayer: Increased Damage Bonus from 20% to 25%.   [ Trinkets ] - Mist Step:  Fixed an issue that caused certain weapons to disappear. - Birthright of the Lost: Applies EXPOSED to enemies in a 3m AOE on any Perfect Dodge trigger.  - Birthright of the Lost: EXPOSE no longer applies to self on self-triggered Perfect Dodge. - Jester’s Bell: Increased Duration from 15s to 20s. - Kinetic Shield Exchanger: Increased Mod Generation from 20% to 30%. - Stoneshaper’s Chisel: Effect properly remains after after traveling. - Ahanae Crystal: Increased Damage Bonus from from 4% to 5% per Stack. - Band of the Fanatic: Increased Status Damage Bonus from 25% to 30%. - Band of the Fanatic: Reduced Duration Penalty from -65% to -50%. - Burden of the Audacious: Fixed interaction with Burden of the Divine. - Burden of the Follower: Increased Mod Generation from 25% to 30%. - Burden of the Mesmer: Reduced Health Penalty from -25% to -20%. - Devoured Loop: Fixed an issue preventing any Skill Cooldown resets. - Devoured Loop: Fixed an issue preventing Skill Cooldown resets of active skills. - Effluvium Enhancer: Increased Acid Bonus from 20% to 25%. - Matriarch’s Ring: Increased Duration from 5s to 7s. - Ravager’s Bargain: Removed hidden Skill Damage that was stacking with Base Damage Bonus. - Shadow of Misery: Increased Status Damage Bonus from 15% to 20%. - Shock Device: Increased Shock Bonus from 20% to 25%. - Talisman of the Sun: Increased Fire Bonus from 20% to 25%.   [ Relics ] - Constrained Heart: Recasting properly refreshes BULWARK stacks. - Broken Heart: No longer causes long black screen after death while equipped.   [ Enemies ] - Fixed an issue where Bloodless Heir Aberration would focus on entirely on summons. - Fixed an issue where the Kiln enemy could shoot through some walls. - Fixed an issue where Tal Ratha’s Weapon phantom for Roll Attack was incorrect. - Fixed an issue where some enemies would remain inactive during Shrewd fight. - Fixed an issue where Dran Rifle and Shotgun character rarely connected with melee attacks. - Fixed an issue where the Root Knight could get stuck hovering over Root Nexus.   [ Misc Fixes ] - Fixed an issue where changing a keybinding from LMB to anything else would cause melee throwing weapons to automatically get thrown even if button was not released. - Fixed an issue where the tooltip for Sanguine Vapor was incorrect and did not match the item description text. - Fixed a collision issue causing players to sometimes pop into place while riding elevators. - Fixed an issue where the Trinity wall mural was not always displaying correctly. - Fixed an issue causing some cubes to not reappear after dying during the Polygun Quest.  ]]> /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11568932-remnant-ii-patch-notes%3A-05%2F09%2F24

in 1-shot from beyond 15m won't alert others if they are > 3.5m away DEVELOPER COMMENT: To better give the Crossbow a more unique theme, we've adjusted it so that it can be used in a stealthy matter. It no longer alerts enemies outside of 15m when fired unless you hit an enemy and they do not die. However, if you 1-shot an enemy, it will not alert any friends unless there was one within 3.5m range. With this change, we adjusted the Ideal and Falloff ranges to compensate for the updated functionality (basically to keep it fair).   Ricochet Rifle Removed projectile lifespan and instead added 4 total bounces (5 possible targets) After all total bounces have occurred, projectile will immediately despawn Reduced initial damage from 100 to 80 (but can hit for over 200 total) Reduced capacity from 28 to 22 Increased Weakspot modifier from +100% to +120% 2nd bounce scales to 50% of base damage. All remaining bounces scale to 85% of previous damage (i.e. 80, 40, 34, 29, 23 = 206) After initial bounce (including geometry), will smart-pick another target within 10m Capped vertical bounce range to 10 degrees when there is no bounce target within 10m After initial enemy bounce, projectile slows slightly (so you can enjoy the ricochets!) Reduced base Critical Chance from 20% to 5% to compensate for 4 "guaranteed" bounces Changed reticle to better represent the shot type Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 30m to 25m DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Ricochet Rifle has always been a fun concept but was never fully realized. We changed the behavior to be more interesting and to better represent the original idea. Basically, it ricochets like it should and it smart picks targets within a range, however, players are still incentivized to aim the first shot for the sweet Weakspot Modifier.   Beam Rifle Increased Weapon Capacity from 30 to 50 Increased Total Capacity from 180 to 200 Increased base damage from 13 to 20 Reduced fire rate from 5 to 4 (to compensate for base damage increase) Reduced Ramp Up Increment from 0.4 to 0.3 Reduced Ideal Range from 20m to 15m Adjusted Primary Falloff Range to match original values (40m) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With a low capacity, the Beam Rifle’s slow reload time ended up being less effective on trash mobs. We wanted to ensure it was still useful against these types of enemies, so we increased the base damage as well as increased the total weapon capacity. This has the effect of killing weaker enemies more quickly and not needing to reload quite as often. The total DPS when sustained also goes up so the Beam Rifle remains effective against bosses.   Spitfire Increased fire-rate from 8.5 to 9.3 Increased weapon capacity from 24 to 26 Increased total capacity from 144 to 156 Reduced Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Reduced initial Reticle Size Reduced spread per shot Reduced reload speed by 13% Added minor amount of Weapon Sway after a 1s delay Flamethrower (MOD) Reduced power requirement from 30 to 24 Increased total charges from 25 to 50 Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 30m to 10m DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Spitfire has always been another fan-favorite but usually lost out to the SMG in overall versatility. To combat this, we increased the fire rate, slightly increased the weapon capacity, and increased total capacity. We also made it much more stable when firing (easier to control) and but slightly slower to reload. For the Flamethrower Mod, we reduced the mod power build-up to only require 2 shots instead of 3 and doubled the total amount of charges it can hold. We also made it much less likely to alert other enemies in the area (until they are on fire and screaming for help!).   Sporebloom Increased reload speed by 15% Increased impact scalar from 1.0 to 1.1 Reduced impact level against players by 1 (less staggering teammates) Spore Shot (MOD) Increased Power Requirement from 450 to 500 Reduced Max Charges from 3 to 2 Reduced projectile damage from 100 to 25 Reduced AOE damage from 50 to 25 Increased DOT from 8 to 12 DOT AOE slows all non-boss and non-worldboss enemies DEVELOPER COMMENT: One of the hardest hitting weapons in the game, the Sporebloom suffers from having to reload after every shot. While the sustain DPS has always been relatively solid, needing to reload between every shot makes it hard to use effectively outside of certain fights. We adjusted the reload speed and increased the impact scalar to give it a bit more kick more often. We lowered the raw AOE burst of the Spore Shot but boosted the DOT damage. This separates the mod functionality from Explosive Shot. In addition, the Spore Shot mod now slows all non-boss enemies which makes more likely to eat all (or most) of the DOT damage (and plenty of full Sporebloom shots!).   Defiler Increased ideal range from 12.5m to 13m Reduced Spread from 1.5 to 1.35 Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m Radioactive Volley (MOD) Reduced Power Requirement from 300 to 250 Reduced Charges from 5 to 3 DEVELOPER COMMENT: With 5 shots, Radioactive Volley burst was the highest DPS in the game. We wanted to keep the low power requirement and multiple shot gameplay but reduce just saving up 5 charges to dump into a boss all at once. To achieve this, we reduced the total charge count by 2 but also lowered the power requirement slightly. Overall, it still does incredible damage.   Particle Accelerator Reduced base damage from 80 to 70 Reduced base reload speed by 15% Reduced Scope magnification from 4x to 3.5x Gravity Core (MOD) Adjusted Gravity Core Explosion to add damage per target beyond 1, then divide total num targets (Deals 500 base. Adds 300 per additional target. 2 enemies take 400 each, 3 take 367, 4 take 350, etc) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m DEVELOPER COMMENT: From the last major patch, the Particle Accelerator ended up being THE weapon in many cases. This was due to having excellent damage and an extremely powerful mod. We've adjusted the base damage a bit while maintaining all other features of the primary fire. The base reload speed was also reduced slightly. For the Gravity Core mod, we've adjusted the behavior so that it can still destroy groups of scrub enemies but will be less-likely to 1-shot entire bosses like Riphide.   Ruin Adjusted reticle scale to 1.0 from 2.0 (bug fix) Reduced reload speed by 5% Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m Undying (MOD) Added cooldown of 5 minutes upon revive (resets upon true death or touching a World Stone) Added cooldown icon to show remaining duration until it becomes active again DEVELOPER COMMENT: With such great DPS going out at higher levels we noticed that it was incredibly easy to constantly recharge it every time you were raised from the dead, resulting in extremely easy no-death scenarios. The cooldown was added to prevent this. We fixed a persistent issue with the double-scale reticle. We also slowed down the reload speed by a tiny amount to slightly adjust the sustain DPS. This results in a very minor sustain DPS reduction (which has zero effect on the burst DPS).   Curse of the Jungle God Increased fire rate from 3.5 to 4.0 Reduced damage from 28 to 25 Reduced reload speed by 13% Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 20m Increased Tracer Speed from 16000 to 28000 to better match the hitscan Fixed incorrect scope magnification text from 2x to 2.3x (no functionality change) Tentacle Shot (MOD) Increased base damage of Tentacle from 60 to 75 Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 10m DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted to up the total burst DPS of Curse by a small amount, so we increased the fire rate and slightly lowered the damage per bullet. We also wanted to keep the sustain DPS where it was, so we lowered the reload speed by a small amount. Overall, the weapon does more burst and the same sustain DPS. For the Tentacle Shot mod, we reduced the sound profile so that firing it won't alert other enemies outside of 10m.   Eye of the Storm Increased Weakspot modifier from +105% to +110% Increased Tracer Speed from 12000 to 24000 to better match the hit scan Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 30m Static Field Shot (MOD) Increased base projectile damage from 40 to 65 Increased explosion damage from 100 to 165 Increased dual explosion damage from 200 to 325 Fixed a bug that prevented proper damage scaling based on Weapon Level Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 20m DEVELOPER COMMENT: A minor buff to the Weakspot modifier on primary fire while also making a couple of quality of life changes. Increased the base damage of Static Field Shot as well. Fixed the damage scaling on Static Field Shot so it gains the proper damage bonus.   Hive Cannon Added ability to trigger “on kill” proc effects with the AOE (like Jewel of the Black Sun) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 20m Hive Shot (MOD) Reduced Power Requirement from 600 to 500 Reduced Base Damage Potential (1 charge) from 356 to 330 (including impact damage) Reduced the DOT time from 22.5 seconds to 12 seconds (300 over 12s instead of 326 over 22.5s) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 15m Adjusted the projectile collision to better match the VFX DEVELOPER COMMENT: Hive Cannon was not triggering “on kill” effects with AOE such as Jewel of the Black Sun so we fixed it! We also wanted to make the DOT a bit more deadly so we sped up the damage dealing capacity while slightly lowering the total amount of damage it can do. We also made it require less buildup so you can fire it more frequently.   Devastator Reduced Ideal Range from 2500 to 2000 Increased Falloff Range to compensate for Ideal Range adjustment Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 17.5m Skewer (MOD) Reduced Total Charges from 5 to 2 Increased Power Requirement from 750 to 1000 Instantly applies 3 charges of Bleed (up from 1) Added Ghost Reticle (red dot) when an obstacle is in the way of projectile path Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 25m Reduced duration before projectile dissolve from 10s to 5s DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the changes to stacking Bleeds, we wanted the Devastator to excel at applying them. Skewer now applies all 3 stacks at once. We reduced the total charges to 2 since you no longer need to shoot 5 times to get 5 bleeds. Super fun!   Repulsor Reduced Reticle draw size to better match actual spread value (was previously too large) Reduced Initial Spread from 6.5 to 6.0 Reduced Firing Spread increment from 0.75 to 0.65 Increased Initial Spread Decay from 1.5 to 2.0 (shrinks faster on initial aim) Increased Firing Spread Decay from 1.2 to 1.3 (shrinks faster post-fire) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m Banishing Shot (MOD) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 5m Removed initial damage on Banish projectile (was 10) to allow non-aggro banishes DEVELOPER COMMENT: For a final boss weapon, the Repulsor had some great benefits but the spread felt a little too large. We noticed a bug with the draw scale (size) of the reticle which was larger than the real spread. This was fixed, and in addition, we adjusted some of the spread and decay values to make the Repulsor a bit more impactful. For Banish, we also removed the initial 10 damage. This is so that players can banish enemies without aggroing them before they become banished. You can now banish unaware enemies and they remain unaware unless they see you once they come out of their Banish.   Guardian Axe Changed effect to “Generates 2x Mod Power per hit” (was previously 300% pre-melee buff) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the melee damage update, the Guardian Axe effect needed to be adjusted accordingly. It now grants double the amount of Mod Power per swing.   Worldbreaker Fixed an issue that caused basic attacks to proc Force Burst w/ Trait: Catalyst DEVELOPER COMMENT: While the base proc chance for Worldbreaker was set to 0, having Catalyst would increase this above 0 and cause basic attacks to proc Force Burst. This ended up making the basic strikes very cumbersome as players would often knock their foes away unintentionally.   Lost Harpoon No longer triggers Power Strike when destroying breakables DEVELOPER COMMENT: Clearly a bug! FIXED!   Smolder Reduced base damage slightly (after universal 50% melee increase) Changed so that each proc applies 1 stack of new updated universal Burning effect (stacks 3x) DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since we changed how Burning worked, we adjusted the base damage to compensate for the fact that Smolder can now apply up to 3 stacks. It now does much more damage overall when it applies Burning stacks on the enemy.   Riven Reduced Lifesteal value to balance with game-wide Melee Damage increase DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since we updated Melee damage, the percent based Lifesteal values had to be reduced across the board. We also reduced them just enough so face-tanking with Juggernaut wasn’t as easy on higher difficulties (but it’s still possible, especially with new builds!). This change was also made to Leech Ember and Twisted Single Perk.   [ Mods ]   Hunter’s Mark Reduced Power Requirement from 1000 to 500 Reduced duration from 60s to 30s Changed buff icon DEVELOPER COMMENT: In order to make Hunter’s Mark a bit more active and a bit more frequent, we halved the Power Requirement and the duration. It still has the same uptime if you manage it, but it’s less of a “set it and forget it” sort of mod. Use it in bursts… use it more frequently!   Hotshot Reduced Power Requirement from 750 to 500 Reduced damage buff from 20% to 15% Reduced duration from 30s to 15s Added buff icon when active DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted Hotshot to be a bit more interactive, so we reduced the Power Requirement used to activate. We also reduced the damage buff by 5% and halved the duration. This makes it more frequent (1000 Power for 30s total instead of 1500) but lowers the damage slightly.   Wildfire Shot Increased Power Requirement from 350 to 400 Reduced Impact Damage from 40 to 25 Single Charge instantly applies 3 stacks of Burning Reduced Charges from 5 to 2 (deals 6 total stacks instead of 5) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the update to how Burning works, we wanted Wildfire Shot to excel at applying the Burning effect. A single charge now instantly applies 3 Burning stacks. Casting it again will refresh those stacks but will not exceed the cap of 3. Since 1 charge now equals 3 stacks of Burning, the total damage potential increased (from 1 charge 100 damage, to 1 charge 300 damage). We slightly increased the Power Requirement and reduced the Impact Damage to compensate.   Explosive Shot Increased AOE damage from 170 to 240 Reduced Impact Damage from 130 to 25 Increased Power Requirement from 400 to 650 Reduced Charges from 5 to 3 Updated the radius text to accurately represent 4m range (was showing 3.5m - bugfix) DEVELOPER COMMENT: Explosive Shot was a tad too easy to store up all 5 charges then just unleash on a boss and decimate their health. We wanted the Mod to be a bit more interactive, so we reduced the number of charges, increased the total damage per charge, and reduced the penalty for missing a direct hit with actual projectile.   Mantle of Thorns Increased min/max Melee Damage Reduction from 15/25 to 20/35 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since Mantle only defends against Melee Damage, we increased the defensive value a bit to help any close-range builds. Keep an eye out for ranged!   Flicker Cloak Increased Power Requirement from 1250 to 1500 Reduced max shield percentage 150% to 100% Reduced Duration from 60s to 10s Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup DEVELOPER COMMENT: Flicker Cloak ended up being much stronger than we anticipated. The original design was meant to be a reactionary lifeline – ideally, shield up and then escape to heal, or to revive an ally (both while ignoring interruptions). With the massive timer length, it ended up being less interactive and an easy/permanent damage shield that more than doubled the player’s health. We reduced the max value from 150% to 100% (still 2x), increased the power requirement, and reduced the duration. We also made it uninterruptible by basic impacts so if you have health, you can always cast it.   Swarm Reduced duration from 20s to 15s Increased Power Requirement from 500 to 750 Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup Fixed a bug that set the target reacquisition to 15 instead of 20m Fixed a bug that allowed Swarm to attack (for 0 damage) through boss doors Fixed a bug that caused mismatched casting speeds between Male and Female animations DEVELOPER COMMENT: Swarm has always been a beast that defied many of the traditional laws that helped us balance other Mods. It doesn’t require line of sight to retarget and can go through walls. We left this behavior but reduced the duration and increased the power requirement so that it could maintain its identity without stomping almost every other Mod.   Breath of the Desert Reduced base damage per projectile from 30 to 25 Increased AOE damage from 20 to 25 Reduced Power Requirement from 750 to 550 Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup Fixed a bug that caused mismatched casting speeds between Male and Female animations DEVELOPER COMMENT: Breath of the Desert has been a staple Mod in every major high-end build because of how much damage it could put out in a short amount of time. We reduced the total damage per cast but also reduced the Power Requirement so you could use it a bit more frequently. It’s still a strong Mod, but this brings it a bit more in-line with other options.   Blink Token Made more responsive (starts and recovers much faster) Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup Reduced the impact level on allies by 1 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Blink Token was a fun mod but suffered from a bit of lag. We adjusted it so that it starts up and recovers much faster so that players can act sooner after arriving. It also will only flinch allies instead of impacting them to make it more useful in a crowd.   Iron Sentinel Increased target acquisition time slightly Will now properly receive the Elder Armor: Believer damage buff DEVELOPER COMMENT: Originally there was no target acquisition time for Iron Sentinel which made fights with multiple low health adds mostly trivial. With our adjustment to adds across the board, we've implemented a slight target acquisition time so the turret cannot instantly pop between two targets. We also fixed a bug that prevented Elder Armor: Believer set bonus from working with the turrets.   Stormcaller Increased start-up and wind-down speed (starts and ends faster) Enabled moving momentum on activation and deactivation (no longer roots you on start/end) Moved up transition windows on ending state (move, aim, dodge, melee much faster) Increased frequency of ranged lightning bolt strikes from 1 to 1.3 per sec Increased size of AOE Damage Aura from 250 to 300 Increased frequency of AOE Damage Aura pulses from 3 per sec to 4 per sec Decreased the stagger damage from the AOE from 4x to 2x due to increased frequency Enabled manual cancel of Stormcaller by recasting it (consumes all remaining power) Increased movement speed from 450 to 650 New status effects can no longer be applied to caster while Stormcaller is active Added text to represent the 50% damage reduction while active Added a fall damage and instakill damage check so players cannot avoid fall or “fail” death types Changed buff icons while active DEVELOPER COMMENT: Stormcaller has always been a power fantasy that we never quite nailed. We made significant changes to really give you the feeling that you are the Stormcaller. Increased movement, increased damage, increased AOE pulse and bolt frequency. We enabled activating it while moving so you no longer rooted yourself in place. Stormcaller can also be cancelled any time you no longer wish to be a god of lighting! Unsure why you would prefer that… but, OK!   Veil of the Black Tear Increased Blowback (Activation) Damage from 10 to 150 Increased minimum duration from 4s to 5s DEVELOPER COMMENT: A very small buff to increase the effectiveness of the Mod at lower weapon levels. This doesn’t change the maximum duration.   Beckon Increased projectile speed from 1500 to 1800 Added target leading so Skulls can hit moving targets DEVELOPER COMMENT: A small buff to make hitting moving targets easier.   Corrosive Aura Increased Blowback (Activation) Damage from 10 to 150 Reduced Range from 10m to 4.5m Adjusted VFX to match range of Aura Reduced Damage Values from 20/40 to 15/30 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Corrosive Aura was giving such a dramatic damage increase at max weapon level that it outshined almost every other damage increasing Mod except when considering the convenience of the Song of Swords range. We reduced the range to promote being closer to enemies, which is better suited for melee, but ensured it still increased damage more than Song of Swords.   Song of Swords Buff now applies to Summons Increased Blowback (Activation) Damage from 10 to 150 Reduced Damage Values from 15/30 to 10/20 Increased range from 20m to 25m Changed buff icon DEVELOPER COMMENT: Song of Swords was giving too great a benefit for how long it was lasting so we reduced the damage buff but increased the range. While still powerful, it shouldn’t always be 100% perfect option for any damage scenario… but it fits a lot of them!   Howler’s Immunity Updated text to reference all allies instead of all heroes (since it applies to Summons) DEVELOPER COMMENT. Nothing to see here!   Rattleweed/Banish Updated text to clarify they don’t affect “powerful enemies” DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted to ensure that players understood why the taunting and banish effects don’t apply to “powerful enemies” (bosses).   [ Armors ]   General Updated all damage boosts from armor to be applied as multiplicative Increased armor values for most armors (lighter armors received a larger increase) Readjusted resistance values (plus/minus) to not be as extreme up or down DEVELOPER COMMENT: Some armors were granting their damage boosts as multiplicative and others were granting boosts as additive. Since wearing full sets of armor is the largest commitment, we wanted to ensure that the behavior was consistent among all damage boosting armor sets. We also adjusted the armor values to ensure lighter armors were still viable options on higher difficulties, as well as toning down the extremes of positive and negative resistances.   Adventurer Added Adventurer Goggles! (4 Armor, 2 Weight) Increased Chest/Leg total Armor from 20 to 27 Reduced Chest/Leg total Weight from 14 to 12 Treasure Hunter Single Perk: Increased Scrap Boost from 10% to 20% DEVELOPER COMMENT: We love the Adventurer set and wanted it to be more useful at multiple levels, even if just for the Single Perk.   Bandit Fixed a bug that allowed multi-proc on certain substances/characters Increased total Armor from 28 to 35 Increased total Weight from 15 to 17 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Very minor tweaks. Just a tad more armor!   Akari Opportunist Single Perk: Removed 15% Crit (which required Perfect Dodge) Opportunity Single Perk: Added Slight Evade Window increase (2f) Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased 1-PC from 5% to 7.5% Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 10% to 15% Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 20% to 30% Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased duration from 7s to 10s Increased total Armor from 36 to 38 Reduced total Weight from 24 to 20 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Akari started falling behind due to always requiring a perfect dodge, even to get the single perk active. We instead decided on a static buff of iFrames to Evade Window which is more thematically cohesive with the avoidance gameplay Akari excels at. Adding 2 iFrames makes it much easier to perfect dodge and to avoid things in general. All of this coincides with a minor buff to the 1- and 2-Piece Set Bonus and a substantial increase to the 3-piece! We also reduced the Weight by a small amount to make pieces more enticing for mix/matching.   Elder Believer Single Perk: Removed 50% ally heal on Dragon Hearts (moved to Mender's Charm) Believer Single Perk: Added 25% chance to not consume Dragon Heart (from Mender's Charm) Believer Set Bonus: Increased buff duration from 10s to 20s Believer Set Bonus: Increased buff range from 30m to 40m Believer Set Bonus: Properly applies to Mod: Iron Sentinel Replaced placeholder icon with the appropriate Believer skill icon Increased total Armor from 32 to 41 DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Elder Armor often ended up being the "Multiplayer Only" Armor Set. In single player, you needed to play a Summoner to get the maximum benefit out of it, and even then, it didn't work quite as well as we had hoped. We've changed it so the perk can benefit the wearer in more scenarios for both SP and MP. Players can still boost ally damage and now have a chance to not consume their Dragon Heart (Heal OR Revive), which previously required the armor and the Mender's Charm. Also fixed a bug that prevented Iron Sentinel from receiving the damage boost.   Hunter Sharpshooter Single Perk: Removed static 15% Weakspot Damage Sharpshooter Single Perk: Added a flat Ideal Range boost for all weapons (2m) Sharpshooter Set Bonus: Changed Set Bonus to an always-active Weakspot Damage Boost (up to 50%) Increased total Armor from 34 to 42 DEVELOPER COMMENT: As another of the starting archetypes, we found that players would often be slightly inside the ideal range for the damage boost and end up not getting much benefit from the armor at all. We've changed it so that Hunter Armor gives a slight flat range boost to all weapons (good for hitting longer distances) and moved the Weakspot Damage Boost to the set bonus. This makes the gameplay theme of the Hunter more cohesive.   Ex-Cultist Increased total Armor from 35 to 43 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Besides the general adjustments to resistances that all armor received, the Ex-Cultist Armor didn’t need many tweaks. It received a slight armor buff.   Drifter Wanderer Single Perk: Removed 50% Standing Aim Movement Speed Wanderer Single Perk: Added 15% Stamina Regen Speed Wanderer Set Bonus: Increased values from 10/20/35% to 15/25/40% stamina cost reduction Increased total Armor from 47 to 52 Increased total Weight from 31 to 32 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Adjustments to make the Drifter set more thematic around Stamina consumption. Minor changes but they have a big impact, especially when mix/matching.   Slayer Assassin Set Bonus: Reduced Damage Bonus from 10/15/35% to 7.5/10/30% Increased total Armor from 48 to 53 Increased total Weight from 32 to 34 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Slayer is one of the two most popular and powerful sets in the game (along with Void). The effect is super fun and provides an excellent damage boost, however, because the damage is so easy to access, we felt the 35% multiplicative boost was just a bit on the high side. We reduced this a small amount to bring it closer to the other armors and made a few other adjustments to Armor, Weight. It also received some small adjustments to resistances like other armors.   Osseous Bloodlust Set Bonus: Increased 1-PC from 7.5% to 10% Bloodlust Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 15% to 20% Bloodlust: Fixed bug of increasing all incoming DMG to target (includes all other players) Increased total Armor from 51 to 56 DEVELOPER COMMENT: We liked where Osseous was at 3-PC bonus, but the lower level values were lacking. There was also a big jump between 2-PC and 3-PC. Since Osseous requires constant damage on the same target to get its bonus, you often don't do any bonus damage against low level targets. By increasing the 1-PC and 2-PC we ensure that players get a little bit more damage on larger targets (like Specials, Elites, and Bosses).   Scrapper Challenger Single Perk: Removed 20% Stagger Boost Challenger Single Perk: Added 15% incoming damage reduction against enemies within 5m Challenger Set Bonus: Increased 3-piece damage boost from 25% to 35% Increased total Armor from 52 to 57 DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Scrapper armor is one of the starting archetype options, so we wanted the gameplay focus to be a bit more obvious. We removed the Stagger Boost and replaced with higher defense against close enemies. Since the Scrapper relies on risky gameplay to get the maximum benefit, we increased the 3-piece benefit to make the risk worth it and comparable to other armors.   Twisted Regrowth Single Perk: Reduced Lifesteal value from 3% to 2.5% Regrowth Set Bonus: Increased 1-PC from 0.28 to 0.304 HP per sec Regrowth Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 0.333 to 0.375 HP per sec Regrowth Set Bonus: Increased 3-PC from 0.417 to 0.56 HP per sec Increased total Armor from 63 to 67 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Like the Riven adjustment, the reduction of Lifesteal coincides with the game-wise Melee buff. This change was also made to Leech Ember and Twisted Single Perk. We also increased the base regen value to give this armor a much-needed kick!   Radiant Momentum Set Bonus: Increased buff duration from 2.0s to 2.5s Increased total Armor from 60 to 69 DEVELOPER COMMENT: This set didn’t need a lot of work. With the updates to all the other armors, Radiant was falling just a tad behind so we increased the buff duration to make it more reliable.   Void Power Transfer Single Perk: Removed Slight Evade Window Power Transfer Single Perk: Added 30% Standing Aim Movement Speed Power Transfer Set Bonus: Increased stacks from 3 to 5 Power Transfer Set Bonus: Reduced from 2.5%, 5.0%, 10.0% (max 30%) to 1.5%, 3%, and 5% (max 25%) Power Transfer Set Bonus: Changed icons for Damage and Defensive buff to be more clear Power Transfer Set Bonus: Can no longer be triggered by DOTS Increased total Armor from 69 to 70 (MASSIVE BUFF!!!) DEVELOPER COMMENT: Void has quickly become the best-in-slot armor for almost every scenario. With both a 30% damage boost and 30% damage reduction, it just did too much too well. We reduced the values by 5% and increased the stack count to 5 so that the transfer switch takes a bit longer in both directions. When you aren't taking damage back to back, you stay in damage mode longer (originally at 30%, you'd lose 10%, then 10%, then 10%, and so on - now you start at 25%, lose 5%, then another 5%, etc...). If you take repeated damage too quickly, you now stay in defensive mode a bit longer. We also removed the iFrame buff on Evade and replaced it with a Standing Aim Movement Speed increase. This is more thematically correct as you typically don't want to dodge with Void (HEAVY!). Additionally, we removed DOTS from activating Power Transfer as players were unable to control the drastic shift in offense to defense when affected with debuffs such as Burning or Bleeding.   Leto Juggernaut Single Perk: Increased Damage Mod from 5% to 15% DEVELOPER COMMENT: While Leto had some serious tanking potential, it often suffered from doing any real damage since it was giving so much up for stagger reduction. We increased the damage boost significantly and reduced the elemental and status resistances by a decent amount.   [ Item - Amulets ]   Gunslinger’s Charm Increased Fire Rate from 10% to 15% Reduced Reload Speed from 25% to 20% DEVELOPER COMMENT: Reload speeds were getting a bit out of hand and the Fire Rate buff wasn’t giving comparable damage to other DPS necks so we made a couple of tweaks to fix both issues!   Butcher's Fetish Changed activation from Melee Crit to Melee Charge Attack Added 15% Crit Chance (lasts 10s) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the buffing of melee across the board, and the fact that players can now access the Butcher's Fetish buff anytime with a Melee Charge Attack, we changed the focus of the buff to be Crit Chance. This synergizes with both a Melee or close-range Firearm build.   Rock of Anguish Reduced speed boost from 20% to 15% Reduced reload speed boost from 50% to 25% Increased duration from 5s to 10s DEVELOPER COMMENT: Taking damage to gain a short-term effect didn't work out as smoothly as we hoped. We doubled the duration so players can take advantage of the buff for a longer period but reduced the movement speed boost by a small amount, and the reload speed boost by half.   Mender's Charm Removed chance to not consume Dragon Heart (now on Elder Armor) Dragon Hearts heal nearby allies for 50% effectiveness (old Elder Armor) Increased self-healing effectiveness boost from 25% to 50% DEVELOPER COMMENT: Mender's Charm has gone through a few interesting changes. We've settled on a version that allows players to slot it as "the support" Amulet while still allowing it to benefit self-heals.   Cleansing Jewel Ensured the effect still works when a Dragon Heart is used by an ally with Elder’s Armor DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since we adjusted Elder Armor we wanted to ensure that players could still benefit from an ally wearing both Elder and Cleansing Jewel.   Galenic Charm Removed Mod Power generation when taking damage. Added 30% Weapon Mod Damage Boost DEVELOPER COMMENT: We didn't like the "get hit to get an effect" gameplay of the old charm, so we decided to make it a bit m]]> /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11450823-swamps-of-corsus-is-live-on-all-platforms https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11450823 Thu, 04 Jun 20 06:55:00 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11433063-hotfix%3A-236263 https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11433063 Tue, 12 May 20 10:55:00 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11428503-hotfix%3A-235609 https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11428503 Tue, 05 May 20 11:00:10 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11422663-swamps-of-corsus-dlc-now-available-on-pc https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11422663 Tue, 28 Apr 20 07:00:00 -0700 15m if you miss) Killing unaware enemies in 1-shot from beyond 15m won't alert others if they are > 3.5m away DEVELOPER COMMENT: To better give the Crossbow a more unique theme, we've adjusted it so that it can be used in a stealthy matter. It no longer alerts enemies outside of 15m when fired unless you hit an enemy and they do not die. However, if you 1-shot an enemy, it will not alert any friends unless there was one within 3.5m range. With this change, we adjusted the Ideal and Falloff ranges to compensate for the updated functionality (basically to keep it fair).   Ricochet Rifle Removed projectile lifespan and instead added 4 total bounces (5 possible targets) After all total bounces have occurred, projectile will immediately despawn Reduced initial damage from 100 to 80 (but can hit for over 200 total) Reduced capacity from 28 to 22 Increased Weakspot modifier from +100% to +120% 2nd bounce scales to 50% of base damage. All remaining bounces scale to 85% of previous damage (i.e. 80, 40, 34, 29, 23 = 206) After initial bounce (including geometry), will smart-pick another target within 10m Capped vertical bounce range to 10 degrees when there is no bounce target within 10m After initial enemy bounce, projectile slows slightly (so you can enjoy the ricochets!) Reduced base Critical Chance from 20% to 5% to compensate for 4 "guaranteed" bounces Changed reticle to better represent the shot type Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 30m to 25m DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Ricochet Rifle has always been a fun concept but was never fully realized. We changed the behavior to be more interesting and to better represent the original idea. Basically, it ricochets like it should and it smart picks targets within a range, however, players are still incentivized to aim the first shot for the sweet Weakspot Modifier.   Beam Rifle Increased Weapon Capacity from 30 to 50 Increased Total Capacity from 180 to 200 Increased base damage from 13 to 20 Reduced fire rate from 5 to 4 (to compensate for base damage increase) Reduced Ramp Up Increment from 0.4 to 0.3 Reduced Ideal Range from 20m to 15m Adjusted Primary Falloff Range to match original values (40m) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With a low capacity, the Beam Rifle’s slow reload time ended up being less effective on trash mobs. We wanted to ensure it was still useful against these types of enemies, so we increased the base damage as well as increased the total weapon capacity. This has the effect of killing weaker enemies more quickly and not needing to reload quite as often. The total DPS when sustained also goes up so the Beam Rifle remains effective against bosses.   Spitfire Increased fire-rate from 8.5 to 9.3 Increased weapon capacity from 24 to 26 Increased total capacity from 144 to 156 Reduced Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Reduced initial Reticle Size Reduced spread per shot Reduced reload speed by 13% Added minor amount of Weapon Sway after a 1s delay Flamethrower (MOD) Reduced power requirement from 30 to 24 Increased total charges from 25 to 50 Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 30m to 10m DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Spitfire has always been another fan-favorite but usually lost out to the SMG in overall versatility. To combat this, we increased the fire rate, slightly increased the weapon capacity, and increased total capacity. We also made it much more stable when firing (easier to control) and but slightly slower to reload. For the Flamethrower Mod, we reduced the mod power build-up to only require 2 shots instead of 3 and doubled the total amount of charges it can hold. We also made it much less likely to alert other enemies in the area (until they are on fire and screaming for help!).   Sporebloom Increased reload speed by 15% Increased impact scalar from 1.0 to 1.1 Reduced impact level against players by 1 (less staggering teammates) Spore Shot (MOD) Increased Power Requirement from 450 to 500 Reduced Max Charges from 3 to 2 Reduced projectile damage from 100 to 25 Reduced AOE damage from 50 to 25 Increased DOT from 8 to 12 DOT AOE slows all non-boss and non-worldboss enemies DEVELOPER COMMENT: One of the hardest hitting weapons in the game, the Sporebloom suffers from having to reload after every shot. While the sustain DPS has always been relatively solid, needing to reload between every shot makes it hard to use effectively outside of certain fights. We adjusted the reload speed and increased the impact scalar to give it a bit more kick more often. We lowered the raw AOE burst of the Spore Shot but boosted the DOT damage. This separates the mod functionality from Explosive Shot. In addition, the Spore Shot mod now slows all non-boss enemies which makes more likely to eat all (or most) of the DOT damage (and plenty of full Sporebloom shots!).   Defiler Increased ideal range from 12.5m to 13m Reduced Spread from 1.5 to 1.35 Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m Radioactive Volley (MOD) Reduced Power Requirement from 300 to 250 Reduced Charges from 5 to 3 DEVELOPER COMMENT: With 5 shots, Radioactive Volley burst was the highest DPS in the game. We wanted to keep the low power requirement and multiple shot gameplay but reduce just saving up 5 charges to dump into a boss all at once. To achieve this, we reduced the total charge count by 2 but also lowered the power requirement slightly. Overall, it still does incredible damage.   Particle Accelerator Reduced base damage from 80 to 70 Reduced base reload speed by 15% Reduced Scope magnification from 4x to 3.5x Gravity Core (MOD) Adjusted Gravity Core Explosion to add damage per target beyond 1, then divide total num targets (Deals 500 base. Adds 300 per additional target. 2 enemies take 400 each, 3 take 367, 4 take 350, etc) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m DEVELOPER COMMENT: From the last major patch, the Particle Accelerator ended up being THE weapon in many cases. This was due to having excellent damage and an extremely powerful mod. We've adjusted the base damage a bit while maintaining all other features of the primary fire. The base reload speed was also reduced slightly. For the Gravity Core mod, we've adjusted the behavior so that it can still destroy groups of scrub enemies but will be less-likely to 1-shot entire bosses like Riphide.   Ruin Adjusted reticle scale to 1.0 from 2.0 (bug fix) Reduced reload speed by 5% Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m Undying (MOD) Added cooldown of 5 minutes upon revive (resets upon true death or touching a World Stone) Added cooldown icon to show remaining duration until it becomes active again DEVELOPER COMMENT: With such great DPS going out at higher levels we noticed that it was incredibly easy to constantly recharge it every time you were raised from the dead, resulting in extremely easy no-death scenarios. The cooldown was added to prevent this. We fixed a persistent issue with the double-scale reticle. We also slowed down the reload speed by a tiny amount to slightly adjust the sustain DPS. This results in a very minor sustain DPS reduction (which has zero effect on the burst DPS).   Curse of the Jungle God Increased fire rate from 3.5 to 4.0 Reduced damage from 28 to 25 Reduced reload speed by 13% Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 20m Increased Tracer Speed from 16000 to 28000 to better match the hitscan Fixed incorrect scope magnification text from 2x to 2.3x (no functionality change) Tentacle Shot (MOD) Increased base damage of Tentacle from 60 to 75 Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 10m DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted to up the total burst DPS of Curse by a small amount, so we increased the fire rate and slightly lowered the damage per bullet. We also wanted to keep the sustain DPS where it was, so we lowered the reload speed by a small amount. Overall, the weapon does more burst and the same sustain DPS. For the Tentacle Shot mod, we reduced the sound profile so that firing it won't alert other enemies outside of 10m.   Eye of the Storm Increased Weakspot modifier from +105% to +110% Increased Tracer Speed from 12000 to 24000 to better match the hit scan Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 30m Static Field Shot (MOD) Increased base projectile damage from 40 to 65 Increased explosion damage from 100 to 165 Increased dual explosion damage from 200 to 325 Fixed a bug that prevented proper damage scaling based on Weapon Level Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 20m DEVELOPER COMMENT: A minor buff to the Weakspot modifier on primary fire while also making a couple of quality of life changes. Increased the base damage of Static Field Shot as well. Fixed the damage scaling on Static Field Shot so it gains the proper damage bonus.   Hive Cannon Added ability to trigger “on kill” proc effects with the AOE (like Jewel of the Black Sun) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 20m Hive Shot (MOD) Reduced Power Requirement from 600 to 500 Reduced Base Damage Potential (1 charge) from 356 to 330 (including impact damage) Reduced the DOT time from 22.5 seconds to 12 seconds (300 over 12s instead of 326 over 22.5s) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 15m Adjusted the projectile collision to better match the VFX DEVELOPER COMMENT: Hive Cannon was not triggering “on kill” effects with AOE such as Jewel of the Black Sun so we fixed it! We also wanted to make the DOT a bit more deadly so we sped up the damage dealing capacity while slightly lowering the total amount of damage it can do. We also made it require less buildup so you can fire it more frequently.   Devastator Reduced Ideal Range from 2500 to 2000 Increased Falloff Range to compensate for Ideal Range adjustment Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 17.5m Skewer (MOD) Reduced Total Charges from 5 to 2 Increased Power Requirement from 750 to 1000 Instantly applies 3 charges of Bleed (up from 1) Added Ghost Reticle (red dot) when an obstacle is in the way of projectile path Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 25m Reduced duration before projectile dissolve from 10s to 5s DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the changes to stacking Bleeds, we wanted the Devastator to excel at applying them. Skewer now applies all 3 stacks at once. We reduced the total charges to 2 since you no longer need to shoot 5 times to get 5 bleeds. Super fun!   Repulsor Reduced Reticle draw size to better match actual spread value (was previously too large) Reduced Initial Spread from 6.5 to 6.0 Reduced Firing Spread increment from 0.75 to 0.65 Increased Initial Spread Decay from 1.5 to 2.0 (shrinks faster on initial aim) Increased Firing Spread Decay from 1.2 to 1.3 (shrinks faster post-fire) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 35m Banishing Shot (MOD) Reduced Firing Sound Radius from 40m to 5m Removed initial damage on Banish projectile (was 10) to allow non-aggro banishes DEVELOPER COMMENT: For a final boss weapon, the Repulsor had some great benefits but the spread felt a little too large. We noticed a bug with the draw scale (size) of the reticle which was larger than the real spread. This was fixed, and in addition, we adjusted some of the spread and decay values to make the Repulsor a bit more impactful. For Banish, we also removed the initial 10 damage. This is so that players can banish enemies without aggroing them before they become banished. You can now banish unaware enemies and they remain unaware unless they see you once they come out of their Banish.   Guardian Axe Changed effect to “Generates 2x Mod Power per hit” (was previously 300% pre-melee buff) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the melee damage update, the Guardian Axe effect needed to be adjusted accordingly. It now grants double the amount of Mod Power per swing.   Worldbreaker Fixed an issue that caused basic attacks to proc Force Burst w/ Trait: Catalyst DEVELOPER COMMENT: While the base proc chance for Worldbreaker was set to 0, having Catalyst would increase this above 0 and cause basic attacks to proc Force Burst. This ended up making the basic strikes very cumbersome as players would often knock their foes away unintentionally.   Lost Harpoon No longer triggers Power Strike when destroying breakables DEVELOPER COMMENT: Clearly a bug! FIXED!   Smolder Reduced base damage slightly (after universal 50% melee increase) Changed so that each proc applies 1 stack of new updated universal Burning effect (stacks 3x) DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since we changed how Burning worked, we adjusted the base damage to compensate for the fact that Smolder can now apply up to 3 stacks. It now does much more damage overall when it applies Burning stacks on the enemy.   Riven Reduced Lifesteal value to balance with game-wide Melee Damage increase DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since we updated Melee damage, the percent based Lifesteal values had to be reduced across the board. We also reduced them just enough so face-tanking with Juggernaut wasn’t as easy on higher difficulties (but it’s still possible, especially with new builds!). This change was also made to Leech Ember and Twisted Single Perk.   [ Mods ]   Hunter’s Mark Reduced Power Requirement from 1000 to 500 Reduced duration from 60s to 30s Changed buff icon DEVELOPER COMMENT: In order to make Hunter’s Mark a bit more active and a bit more frequent, we halved the Power Requirement and the duration. It still has the same uptime if you manage it, but it’s less of a “set it and forget it” sort of mod. Use it in bursts… use it more frequently!   Hotshot Reduced Power Requirement from 750 to 500 Reduced damage buff from 20% to 15% Reduced duration from 30s to 15s Added buff icon when active DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted Hotshot to be a bit more interactive, so we reduced the Power Requirement used to activate. We also reduced the damage buff by 5% and halved the duration. This makes it more frequent (1000 Power for 30s total instead of 1500) but lowers the damage slightly.   Wildfire Shot Increased Power Requirement from 350 to 400 Reduced Impact Damage from 40 to 25 Single Charge instantly applies 3 stacks of Burning Reduced Charges from 5 to 2 (deals 6 total stacks instead of 5) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the update to how Burning works, we wanted Wildfire Shot to excel at applying the Burning effect. A single charge now instantly applies 3 Burning stacks. Casting it again will refresh those stacks but will not exceed the cap of 3. Since 1 charge now equals 3 stacks of Burning, the total damage potential increased (from 1 charge 100 damage, to 1 charge 300 damage). We slightly increased the Power Requirement and reduced the Impact Damage to compensate.   Explosive Shot Increased AOE damage from 170 to 240 Reduced Impact Damage from 130 to 25 Increased Power Requirement from 400 to 650 Reduced Charges from 5 to 3 Updated the radius text to accurately represent 4m range (was showing 3.5m - bugfix) DEVELOPER COMMENT: Explosive Shot was a tad too easy to store up all 5 charges then just unleash on a boss and decimate their health. We wanted the Mod to be a bit more interactive, so we reduced the number of charges, increased the total damage per charge, and reduced the penalty for missing a direct hit with actual projectile.   Mantle of Thorns Increased min/max Melee Damage Reduction from 15/25 to 20/35 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since Mantle only defends against Melee Damage, we increased the defensive value a bit to help any close-range builds. Keep an eye out for ranged!   Flicker Cloak Increased Power Requirement from 1250 to 1500 Reduced max shield percentage 150% to 100% Reduced Duration from 60s to 10s Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup DEVELOPER COMMENT: Flicker Cloak ended up being much stronger than we anticipated. The original design was meant to be a reactionary lifeline – ideally, shield up and then escape to heal, or to revive an ally (both while ignoring interruptions). With the massive timer length, it ended up being less interactive and an easy/permanent damage shield that more than doubled the player’s health. We reduced the max value from 150% to 100% (still 2x), increased the power requirement, and reduced the duration. We also made it uninterruptible by basic impacts so if you have health, you can always cast it.   Swarm Reduced duration from 20s to 15s Increased Power Requirement from 500 to 750 Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup Fixed a bug that set the target reacquisition to 15 instead of 20m Fixed a bug that allowed Swarm to attack (for 0 damage) through boss doors Fixed a bug that caused mismatched casting speeds between Male and Female animations DEVELOPER COMMENT: Swarm has always been a beast that defied many of the traditional laws that helped us balance other Mods. It doesn’t require line of sight to retarget and can go through walls. We left this behavior but reduced the duration and increased the power requirement so that it could maintain its identity without stomping almost every other Mod.   Breath of the Desert Reduced base damage per projectile from 30 to 25 Increased AOE damage from 20 to 25 Reduced Power Requirement from 750 to 550 Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup Fixed a bug that caused mismatched casting speeds between Male and Female animations DEVELOPER COMMENT: Breath of the Desert has been a staple Mod in every major high-end build because of how much damage it could put out in a short amount of time. We reduced the total damage per cast but also reduced the Power Requirement so you could use it a bit more frequently. It’s still a strong Mod, but this brings it a bit more in-line with other options.   Blink Token Made more responsive (starts and recovers much faster) Ignores basic impacts (but not damage) for 0.35s on startup Reduced the impact level on allies by 1 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Blink Token was a fun mod but suffered from a bit of lag. We adjusted it so that it starts up and recovers much faster so that players can act sooner after arriving. It also will only flinch allies instead of impacting them to make it more useful in a crowd.   Iron Sentinel Increased target acquisition time slightly Will now properly receive the Elder Armor: Believer damage buff DEVELOPER COMMENT: Originally there was no target acquisition time for Iron Sentinel which made fights with multiple low health adds mostly trivial. With our adjustment to adds across the board, we've implemented a slight target acquisition time so the turret cannot instantly pop between two targets. We also fixed a bug that prevented Elder Armor: Believer set bonus from working with the turrets.   Stormcaller Increased start-up and wind-down speed (starts and ends faster) Enabled moving momentum on activation and deactivation (no longer roots you on start/end) Moved up transition windows on ending state (move, aim, dodge, melee much faster) Increased frequency of ranged lightning bolt strikes from 1 to 1.3 per sec Increased size of AOE Damage Aura from 250 to 300 Increased frequency of AOE Damage Aura pulses from 3 per sec to 4 per sec Decreased the stagger damage from the AOE from 4x to 2x due to increased frequency Enabled manual cancel of Stormcaller by recasting it (consumes all remaining power) Increased movement speed from 450 to 650 New status effects can no longer be applied to caster while Stormcaller is active Added text to represent the 50% damage reduction while active Added a fall damage and instakill damage check so players cannot avoid fall or “fail” death types Changed buff icons while active DEVELOPER COMMENT: Stormcaller has always been a power fantasy that we never quite nailed. We made significant changes to really give you the feeling that you are the Stormcaller. Increased movement, increased damage, increased AOE pulse and bolt frequency. We enabled activating it while moving so you no longer rooted yourself in place. Stormcaller can also be cancelled any time you no longer wish to be a god of lighting! Unsure why you would prefer that… but, OK!   Veil of the Black Tear Increased Blowback (Activation) Damage from 10 to 150 Increased minimum duration from 4s to 5s DEVELOPER COMMENT: A very small buff to increase the effectiveness of the Mod at lower weapon levels. This doesn’t change the maximum duration.   Beckon Increased projectile speed from 1500 to 1800 Added target leading so Skulls can hit moving targets DEVELOPER COMMENT: A small buff to make hitting moving targets easier.   Corrosive Aura Increased Blowback (Activation) Damage from 10 to 150 Reduced Range from 10m to 4.5m Adjusted VFX to match range of Aura Reduced Damage Values from 20/40 to 15/30 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Corrosive Aura was giving such a dramatic damage increase at max weapon level that it outshined almost every other damage increasing Mod except when considering the convenience of the Song of Swords range. We reduced the range to promote being closer to enemies, which is better suited for melee, but ensured it still increased damage more than Song of Swords.   Song of Swords Buff now applies to Summons Increased Blowback (Activation) Damage from 10 to 150 Reduced Damage Values from 15/30 to 10/20 Increased range from 20m to 25m Changed buff icon DEVELOPER COMMENT: Song of Swords was giving too great a benefit for how long it was lasting so we reduced the damage buff but increased the range. While still powerful, it shouldn’t always be 100% perfect option for any damage scenario… but it fits a lot of them!   Howler’s Immunity Updated text to reference all allies instead of all heroes (since it applies to Summons) DEVELOPER COMMENT. Nothing to see here!   Rattleweed/Banish Updated text to clarify they don’t affect “powerful enemies” DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted to ensure that players understood why the taunting and banish effects don’t apply to “powerful enemies” (bosses).   [ Armors ]   General Updated all damage boosts from armor to be applied as multiplicative Increased armor values for most armors (lighter armors received a larger increase) Readjusted resistance values (plus/minus) to not be as extreme up or down DEVELOPER COMMENT: Some armors were granting their damage boosts as multiplicative and others were granting boosts as additive. Since wearing full sets of armor is the largest commitment, we wanted to ensure that the behavior was consistent among all damage boosting armor sets. We also adjusted the armor values to ensure lighter armors were still viable options on higher difficulties, as well as toning down the extremes of positive and negative resistances.   Adventurer Added Adventurer Goggles! (4 Armor, 2 Weight) Increased Chest/Leg total Armor from 20 to 27 Reduced Chest/Leg total Weight from 14 to 12 Treasure Hunter Single Perk: Increased Scrap Boost from 10% to 20% DEVELOPER COMMENT: We love the Adventurer set and wanted it to be more useful at multiple levels, even if just for the Single Perk.   Bandit Fixed a bug that allowed multi-proc on certain substances/characters Increased total Armor from 28 to 35 Increased total Weight from 15 to 17 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Very minor tweaks. Just a tad more armor!   Akari Opportunist Single Perk: Removed 15% Crit (which required Perfect Dodge) Opportunity Single Perk: Added Slight Evade Window increase (2f) Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased 1-PC from 5% to 7.5% Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 10% to 15% Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 20% to 30% Opportunist Set Bonus: Increased duration from 7s to 10s Increased total Armor from 36 to 38 Reduced total Weight from 24 to 20 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Akari started falling behind due to always requiring a perfect dodge, even to get the single perk active. We instead decided on a static buff of iFrames to Evade Window which is more thematically cohesive with the avoidance gameplay Akari excels at. Adding 2 iFrames makes it much easier to perfect dodge and to avoid things in general. All of this coincides with a minor buff to the 1- and 2-Piece Set Bonus and a substantial increase to the 3-piece! We also reduced the Weight by a small amount to make pieces more enticing for mix/matching.   Elder Believer Single Perk: Removed 50% ally heal on Dragon Hearts (moved to Mender's Charm) Believer Single Perk: Added 25% chance to not consume Dragon Heart (from Mender's Charm) Believer Set Bonus: Increased buff duration from 10s to 20s Believer Set Bonus: Increased buff range from 30m to 40m Believer Set Bonus: Properly applies to Mod: Iron Sentinel Replaced placeholder icon with the appropriate Believer skill icon Increased total Armor from 32 to 41 DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Elder Armor often ended up being the "Multiplayer Only" Armor Set. In single player, you needed to play a Summoner to get the maximum benefit out of it, and even then, it didn't work quite as well as we had hoped. We've changed it so the perk can benefit the wearer in more scenarios for both SP and MP. Players can still boost ally damage and now have a chance to not consume their Dragon Heart (Heal OR Revive), which previously required the armor and the Mender's Charm. Also fixed a bug that prevented Iron Sentinel from receiving the damage boost.   Hunter Sharpshooter Single Perk: Removed static 15% Weakspot Damage Sharpshooter Single Perk: Added a flat Ideal Range boost for all weapons (2m) Sharpshooter Set Bonus: Changed Set Bonus to an always-active Weakspot Damage Boost (up to 50%) Increased total Armor from 34 to 42 DEVELOPER COMMENT: As another of the starting archetypes, we found that players would often be slightly inside the ideal range for the damage boost and end up not getting much benefit from the armor at all. We've changed it so that Hunter Armor gives a slight flat range boost to all weapons (good for hitting longer distances) and moved the Weakspot Damage Boost to the set bonus. This makes the gameplay theme of the Hunter more cohesive.   Ex-Cultist Increased total Armor from 35 to 43 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Besides the general adjustments to resistances that all armor received, the Ex-Cultist Armor didn’t need many tweaks. It received a slight armor buff.   Drifter Wanderer Single Perk: Removed 50% Standing Aim Movement Speed Wanderer Single Perk: Added 15% Stamina Regen Speed Wanderer Set Bonus: Increased values from 10/20/35% to 15/25/40% stamina cost reduction Increased total Armor from 47 to 52 Increased total Weight from 31 to 32 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Adjustments to make the Drifter set more thematic around Stamina consumption. Minor changes but they have a big impact, especially when mix/matching.   Slayer Assassin Set Bonus: Reduced Damage Bonus from 10/15/35% to 7.5/10/30% Increased total Armor from 48 to 53 Increased total Weight from 32 to 34 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Slayer is one of the two most popular and powerful sets in the game (along with Void). The effect is super fun and provides an excellent damage boost, however, because the damage is so easy to access, we felt the 35% multiplicative boost was just a bit on the high side. We reduced this a small amount to bring it closer to the other armors and made a few other adjustments to Armor, Weight. It also received some small adjustments to resistances like other armors.   Osseous Bloodlust Set Bonus: Increased 1-PC from 7.5% to 10% Bloodlust Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 15% to 20% Bloodlust: Fixed bug of increasing all incoming DMG to target (includes all other players) Increased total Armor from 51 to 56 DEVELOPER COMMENT: We liked where Osseous was at 3-PC bonus, but the lower level values were lacking. There was also a big jump between 2-PC and 3-PC. Since Osseous requires constant damage on the same target to get its bonus, you often don't do any bonus damage against low level targets. By increasing the 1-PC and 2-PC we ensure that players get a little bit more damage on larger targets (like Specials, Elites, and Bosses).   Scrapper Challenger Single Perk: Removed 20% Stagger Boost Challenger Single Perk: Added 15% incoming damage reduction against enemies within 5m Challenger Set Bonus: Increased 3-piece damage boost from 25% to 35% Increased total Armor from 52 to 57 DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Scrapper armor is one of the starting archetype options, so we wanted the gameplay focus to be a bit more obvious. We removed the Stagger Boost and replaced with higher defense against close enemies. Since the Scrapper relies on risky gameplay to get the maximum benefit, we increased the 3-piece benefit to make the risk worth it and comparable to other armors.   Twisted Regrowth Single Perk: Reduced Lifesteal value from 3% to 2.5% Regrowth Set Bonus: Increased 1-PC from 0.28 to 0.304 HP per sec Regrowth Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 0.333 to 0.375 HP per sec Regrowth Set Bonus: Increased 3-PC from 0.417 to 0.56 HP per sec Increased total Armor from 63 to 67 DEVELOPER COMMENT: Like the Riven adjustment, the reduction of Lifesteal coincides with the game-wise Melee buff. This change was also made to Leech Ember and Twisted Single Perk. We also increased the base regen value to give this armor a much-needed kick!   Radiant Momentum Set Bonus: Increased buff duration from 2.0s to 2.5s Increased total Armor from 60 to 69 DEVELOPER COMMENT: This set didn’t need a lot of work. With the updates to all the other armors, Radiant was falling just a tad behind so we increased the buff duration to make it more reliable.   Void Power Transfer Single Perk: Removed Slight Evade Window Power Transfer Single Perk: Added 30% Standing Aim Movement Speed Power Transfer Set Bonus: Increased stacks from 3 to 5 Power Transfer Set Bonus: Reduced from 2.5%, 5.0%, 10.0% (max 30%) to 1.5%, 3%, and 5% (max 25%) Power Transfer Set Bonus: Changed icons for Damage and Defensive buff to be more clear Power Transfer Set Bonus: Can no longer be triggered by DOTS Increased total Armor from 69 to 70 (MASSIVE BUFF!!!) DEVELOPER COMMENT: Void has quickly become the best-in-slot armor for almost every scenario. With both a 30% damage boost and 30% damage reduction, it just did too much too well. We reduced the values by 5% and increased the stack count to 5 so that the transfer switch takes a bit longer in both directions. When you aren't taking damage back to back, you stay in damage mode longer (originally at 30%, you'd lose 10%, then 10%, then 10%, and so on - now you start at 25%, lose 5%, then another 5%, etc...). If you take repeated damage too quickly, you now stay in defensive mode a bit longer. We also removed the iFrame buff on Evade and replaced it with a Standing Aim Movement Speed increase. This is more thematically correct as you typically don't want to dodge with Void (HEAVY!). Additionally, we removed DOTS from activating Power Transfer as players were unable to control the drastic shift in offense to defense when affected with debuffs such as Burning or Bleeding.   Leto Juggernaut Single Perk: Increased Damage Mod from 5% to 15% DEVELOPER COMMENT: While Leto had some serious tanking potential, it often suffered from doing any real damage since it was giving so much up for stagger reduction. We increased the damage boost significantly and reduced the elemental and status resistances by a decent amount.   [ Item - Amulets ]   Gunslinger’s Charm Increased Fire Rate from 10% to 15% Reduced Reload Speed from 25% to 20% DEVELOPER COMMENT: Reload speeds were getting a bit out of hand and the Fire Rate buff wasn’t giving comparable damage to other DPS necks so we made a couple of tweaks to fix both issues!   Butcher's Fetish Changed activation from Melee Crit to Melee Charge Attack Added 15% Crit Chance (lasts 10s) DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the buffing of melee across the board, and the fact that players can now access the Butcher's Fetish buff anytime with a Melee Charge Attack, we changed the focus of the buff to be Crit Chance. This synergizes with both a Melee or close-range Firearm build.   Rock of Anguish Reduced speed boost from 20% to 15% Reduced reload speed boost from 50% to 25% Increased duration from 5s to 10s DEVELOPER COMMENT: Taking damage to gain a short-term effect didn't work out as smoothly as we hoped. We doubled the duration so players can take advantage of the buff for a longer period but reduced the movement speed boost by a small amount, and the reload speed boost by half.   Mender's Charm Removed chance to not consume Dragon Heart (now on Elder Armor) Dragon Hearts heal nearby allies for 50% effectiveness (old Elder Armor) Increased self-healing effectiveness boost from 25% to 50% DEVELOPER COMMENT: Mender's Charm has gone through a few interesting changes. We've settled on a version that allows players to slot it as "the support" Amulet while still allowing it to benefit self-heals.   Cleansing Jewel Ensured the effect still works when a Dragon Heart is used by an ally with Elder’s Armor DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since we adjusted Elder Armor we wanted to ensure that players could still benefit from an ally wearing both Elder and Cleansing Jewel.   Ga]]> /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11417463-swamps-of-corsus-dlc-update-notes https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11417463 Mon, 27 Apr 20 08:55:00 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11418423-survival-showdown-a-competitive-remnant-event https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11418423 Fri, 24 Apr 20 09:58:24 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11414993-return-to-the-swamps-of-corsus https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11414993 Tue, 21 Apr 20 08:55:00 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11409723-what-is-survival-mode%3F https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11409723 Wed, 15 Apr 20 08:55:00 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11409063-announcing%3A-swamps-of-corsus https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11409063 Tue, 14 Apr 20 05:55:00 -0700 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11314613-nominate-remnant%3A-from-the-ashes-for-the-steam-awards%21 https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11314613 Tue, 26 Nov 19 11:00:14 -0800 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11303843-remnant-joins-xbox-game-pass https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11303843 Thu, 14 Nov 19 12:55:00 -0800 /en/games/remnant/news/detail/11300003-hotfix%3A-219976 https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/remnant/news/detail/11300003 Thu, 07 Nov 19 14:00:00 -0800 Show Helmet) Settings: Added the ability to hide Tutorial Prompts (Gameplay > Tutorial Prompts) Character Creation: Added ability to skip tutorial Gameplay: Changed Scope option to Double Tap + Hold RMB/L2 (to facilitate Comms wheel) General: Added the ability to support account-bound items (including the new Hardcore and Emote rewards) General: Added another character slot General: Many tooltip descriptions have been updated for clarity and accuracy DEVELOPER COMMENT: One of the most-requested features was “Hide Helmet”... so now you can! We also added the ability to disable tutorial prompts which is extremely helpful when making new characters or playing the new Hardcore Mode. In addition, you can completely skip the tutorial sequence. Additionally, to best support the new communications wheel, we adjusted how Scoping works. This allows players on console to have a dedicated ping button which can be used while aiming. We found it to be a fair trade-off. Players on PC can re-bind the original scope functionality on a button should they so desire. MATCHMAKING General: Added public session browse PS4: Fixed matchmaking for Power Level 20 players PS4: Fixed "Session is Full" error WEAPONS General: Removed minimum crit range on all weapons DEVELOPER COMMENT: We've decided to revert this change until we have a better solution for players using weapons intended for long range at closer ranges. ARMOR General: Many armor values adjusted (generally no greater than 1-2% up or down) General: Increased the speed and recovery of Light, Medium, and Heavy Rolls Elder: Increased healing effectiveness of Dragonheart vs NPCS by 100% Elder: Increased Believer buff significantly (from 20% max to 35% max) Osseous: Increased damage ramp-up speed Osseous: Increased damage ramp-down delay (damage remains higher for longer) Osseous: Decreased damage ramp-down speed Void: Reduced Power Transfer time from 10s to 5s (regain damage buff faster) Leto: Increased the overall resistances of Leto's for all elements and status DEVELOPER COMMENT: We feel that most of the armors are in a good spot for different playstyles but we wanted to ensure that the focus of each primary damage-related armor is enhanced. While the effectiveness of Radiant has served as our baseline (and remains so) we've made a few tweaks to Elder, Osseous, and Void to give them a stronger unique identity. MODS Seed Caller: Increased base damage from 20 to 50 Seed Caller: Reduced power cost from 500 to 400 Beckon: Increased base damage from 15 to 40 Beckon: Reduced power cost from 500 to 350 Iron Sentinel: Increased base damage from 4 to 5 Iron Sentinel: Increased power cost from 600 to 750 Tentacle Shot: Removed soft-collision (to reduce blocking issues) Tentacle Shot: Increased power cost from 350 to 400 DEVELOPER COMMENT: As promised, we've increased the overall effectiveness of the summoning playstyle. In addition to significant buff to Elder armor (from 20% to 35% max damage), we've also increased the base damage of 3 of the 4 core summons. We also removed the soft-collision on Tentacle Shot which allows enemies to get closer to them and take more hits overall. ITEMS / TRAITS General: Adjusted many Trait & Item values to better coincide with heavier reliance on items/armors General: Fixed an issue with Shadow Walker Trait not activating properly DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since our Trait system allows players to have all of the bonuses at end-game with no tradeoffs/choices, we are gradually reducing the massive gains from Traits and shifting more of the benefits towards items.
