Rogue Company: Latest Hotfix for Eternal Conflict Update Buffs SMGs

A hotfix for Rogue Company: Eternal Conflict has been deployed and is now available on all platforms. This hotfix implemented a lot of balancing changes, mostly buffing submachine guns. There’s also a particular assault rifle that was brought down in power.

Accurate and Deadly

Submachine guns in Rogue Company remain in a good place despite a slight drop in usage rate. However, the developers think that they can still be improved, so they’ve implemented some adjustments to put SMGs in their intended placements. The buffs include an increase in their overall accuracy, improved bloom, and damage falloff thresholds pushed out a bit to be more reasonable.

For example, the LMP-X has its base accuracy increased, while the accuracy return delay is decreased. Damage falloff thresholds have also increased from 9/19/24m to 12/22/28m. This means the said SMG can still do damage even at 28 meters.

Hydra Nerf

The Hydra has been an overpowered weapon in Rogue Company for some time now due to its high damage output, moderate fire rate, and overly generous mag size. Unsurprisingly, this assault rifle’s power has to be brought down a peg, and that is what happened in this hotfix.

Its fire rate received a substantial nerf from 5.50 to just 5.00. Furthermore, the Hydra’s upgraded mag size now only holds 30 bullets instead of 40.
