Balance Changes/Fixes

General

• Sidearm : Improves with strength. We've had Sidearm set to improve with Dexterity for years, but ultimately determined that it made the stat too powerful compared to Strength. We hope this change encourages more build diversity and improves utility of the Strength stat.

  • Level 1: 165 Health Points
  • Level 2: 190 Health Points

  • Level 4: 240 Health Points
  • Level 5: 265 Health Points
  • Level 6: 290 Health Points
  • Level 7: 315 Health Points
  • Level 8: 340 Health Points
  • Level 9: 365 Health Points
  • Level 10: 390 Health Points

Next Week!

"Hey! Where's the meat?" You may be asking. Next week, we'll kick off the 4th of July Week with an Epic Charfade Evolution release. Charfade has been on Delta V for nearly a decade and while that harsh environment has made her gruff and gritty, it hasn't hardened her heart toward the sparce wildlife remaining on her adopted planet. Join us next week for new achievement, new bosses, new weapons, new armors, and all the burgers you can eat!*
