Designer Note :
The weapons and Perk skills have been adjusted to improve their gameplay experiences. The recent community survey has shown that most of these are underperforming to a lot of players.
The Dragonsbreath now leaves behind guaranteed small patches of fire with every burning pellet. These fire patches can be devastating when clumped closely together, and it provides an extra bonus for pellets piercing through Zeds by leaving patches of fire behind or around them. We did have to make adjustments to alleviate performance concerns so the systems did not lag with the amount of fire spread around, so the amount of pellets per shot and ground fire duration have been reduced. The damage of each pellet has been boosted to help offset the reduction with the number of pellets per shot. We also adjusted the amount of damage Hans received from its ground fire as the ground fires inflicted a lot more damage than intended onto him when they were clumped together.
The Pulverizer has received a boost to its light melee damage. Due to its high knockdown rates, this should improve the overall damage of striking body parts that may not be critical zones, such as the head. We also adjusted the angle of the explosion and extended it further outwards to encapsulate more Zeds within the explosion radius. Previously, the explosion could miss a few Zeds standing behind other Zeds, so it could be inconsistent at times. Lastly, the Pulverizer has received an adjustment to its damage modifiers from upgrading the weapon. Previously, the damage modifiers did not feel impactful for the amount of dosh spent to earn them.
The Berserker ZED TIME - Berserker Rage Perk skill is receiving improvements across the board. The health healed has been increased substantially to better safeguard Berserkers when Zed time activates. The fear duration and range have also increased to negate more Zeds near the player, further providing a temporary reprieve. We want it to be an effective, defensive counterpart to ZED TIME - Spartan, so we will monitor the Perk skill and see if any further adjustments are needed.
The Survivalist ZED TIME - Lockdown Perk skill now maxes the stun, knockdown, and stumble rates of all weapons. Previously, the modifier did not greatly benefit weapons with low rates. Now, each weapon with any stun, knockdown, and / or stumble capability should have their values maxed out during Zed time.
The Firebug Ground Fire Perk skill now applies to the Dragonsbreath, Spitfires, and Molotov. The reason for this is that the skill previously did not apply to all ground fires left by weapons, and this caused a lot of confusion between which ones applied the bonus and which ones did not. As such, we extended the Perk skill to apply to all ground fires. We will be monitoring the Perk skill to ensure its gameplay balance.
The Gunslinger Line ‘em Up now boosts penetration considerably to allow Perk weapons to penetrate a large number of Zeds to coincide better with its other aspect that keeps the damage consistent between each penetrated Zed.
