BALANCING
LION REWORK
Reduced the ability warning to 1.5 seconds (from 3 seconds).
Reduced the scanning to 2 seconds (from 4 seconds).
Replaced the scan outline by a red ping debuff.
Increased the number of charges to 3 (from 2 charges).
Reduced the ability cooldown to 15 seconds (from 27 seconds).
Vigil's ability ERC–7's cloak makes him immune to Lion's scan.
With more of a focus on intel gathering, now this predator has to play smart to catch his prey. Check out the Designer’s Notes to learn more.
CAPITÃO V2
Dart fire damage per tick reduced to 12 (from 19/tick).
Dart fire AOE size increased and now takes 2 seconds to reach max size.
Arrows now follow a straight trajectory until 10 meters. Past 10 meters, there is an arrow trajectory falloff due to gravity.
Adjustments to his AOE damage will now emphasize skill and not blind luck.
BLITZ
Ballistic shield flash cooldown increased to 7 seconds between flashes (from 2 second CD).
Enjoy the breather!
KAID
AUG–A3 damage increased to 33 (up from 27).
Remove a magazine from TCSG12 Shotgun to reduce total ammunition to 51 (down from 61).
Now the commander has a few choices to make.

Maestro’s Evil Eyes windows will automatically open halfway when disabled by EMPs or Shock Drones.
Maestro’s defenses were a bit too ironclad, so we’ve opened up the window of opportunity a little.

Replaced Claymore with 3x Stun Grenades in Nomad’s loadout.

Changes to the reverse Candela cooking mechanic. The longer it cooks, the less time it takes to explode.
New and improved recipe.
ECHO
IQ can now detect Echo when he is using his PDA.
