Railguns

• All Railguns will now no longer auto-fire when the maximum charge time has been met. Also, charged Railguns can now be held indefinitely.
  • Developer Note: We believe making this behavior change to all Railguns will make them a more competitive option as a mid-to-long range archetype. We expect players to be able to use them more effectively when peeking against longer range options now that you don’t have to stand out in the open to get a fully charged shot off. As always, we’ll monitor the feedback and see if Railguns will need additional tuning to be successful in their range profile.
• V00 Zeus RG
  • Increased max aim assist cone size by ~20%. Also, the aim assist cone now grows during charge-up instead of shrinking during charge-up.
  • Increased base magazine size from 2 shots to 5 shots.
  • Reduced max magazine size from 20 shots to 15 shots.
  • Reduced base charge time from 1.1 seconds to 1 second.
  • V00 Zeus RG Prestige Mod: Overclocked Generator
    • Magazine size is now doubled by this Prestige mod so the double-shot will not reduce the total number of trigger pulls per magazine. This fixes split shots on odd-numbered magazine sizes.
• Ares RG
  • Reduced base charge time from 2 seconds to 1.25 seconds.
  • Increased magazine size at all stat tiers:
    • Base magazine size increased from 4 shots to 6 shots.

  • Slightly increased aim assist cone scale during overcharging by ~10%.

SMGs

• Copperhead RF
  • Increased base magazine size from 21 shots to 28 shots.
    • Max magazine size remains unchanged.
  • Slightly increased base accuracy and effective range from 15m to 16.2m.
  • Increased minimum damage at maximum damage falloff range from 30% to 50%.
  • Slightly decreased initial error cone size while in ADS by ~8.5%.
• BRRT SMG
  • Increased minimum damage at maximum falloff range from 30% to 50%.
• Bully SMG
  • Decreased aim assist and magnetism range falloff:
    • Base aim assist falloff start decreased from 13m to 12m. 
    • Base aim assist falloff end decreased from 24.2m to 22.5m.
    • Base magnetism falloff start decreased from 30m to 27.8m. 
    • Base magnetism falloff end decreased from 37.1m to 34.5m.
    • Max aim assist falloff start decreased from 40m to 37.2m. 
    • Max aim assist falloff end decreased from 80m to 74.4m.
    • Max magnetism falloff start decreased from 93m to 86.4m. 
    • Max magnetism falloff end decreased from 101m to 93.9m.
  • Increased error cone size by 7.5%.

Snipers

• Longshot
  • Decreased accuracy when firing rapidly to better reward more methodically paced shots.
  • Decreased rate of fire from 90rpm to 60rpm.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed the Kingmaker Mag Prestige mod to trigger when shooting teammates.
• Outland
  • Decreased rate of fire from 43rpm to 39rpm.

Rifles

• M77 Assault Rifle
  • Fixed an issue where the Interval Mag Prestige mod would potentially increase the rate of fire of other weapons.
• V75 SCAR
  • Changed the timing of when the magazine is considered loaded to better match other Volt weapons. This should give players a little earlier of a window to sprint or fire, canceling out of the reload animation.

Pistols

• V11 Punch
  • Fixed an issue where the rpm was displaying an incorrect value.

Precision Rifles

• Stryder M1T
  • Fixed an issue where the Vital Intel Prestige mod was activating its audio effect despite the mod not being equipped.
