Known Issues

• "First Aid Stim Dart" will not provide XP to troopers when healing other troopers.

Quality-of-Life

• Settings for Lumen and Ray Tracing now need to be manually enabled in the video settings.

Tuning

Federation Tuning

Demolisher

• Adjusted the ability “Barrage” cooldown from 60 seconds to 40 seconds.

Currently, the Demolisher sat in a bit of an odd place where, with an effective team, you would have almost no good points to use the ability. This is a temporary solution while we look at how to improve this to be more consistent. So, for now, troopers enjoy more grenades!
