The team-based multiplayer shooter Rogue Company received a new update not long ago. Covert Ops Hotfix 2 doesn’t offer much, but it brings various adjustments, especially in Ranked Demolition. Read further to learn more.
Demolition is one of the game modes in Rogue Company available to you once you reach Level 30. Here, you’ll be placed in one of two teams. The attacking team is tasked to plant the bomb in specific sites on the map. On the other hand, the defending team should either prevent the opposing team from planting the bomb or defuse the explosive to win. The defending team also has about 40 seconds to successfully defuse the bomb. But unlike games like CS:GO, the timer stops when the bomb is being actively defused.
Covert Ops Hotfix 2 has made Ranked Demolition a lot harder due to new changes. For one, the charge rate of all abilities is increased by 25%. This change was made to reduce the number of abilities used in this game mode. Moreover, default cash has been reduced to $5,000 instead of $13,000, giving you far less money to work with at the beginning.
