Patch notes · Breach

• 2.02

• 1.11

  Rolling Thunder distance

• 1.11

  Fault Line distance

• 1.11

  Fault Line faster

• 1.11

  Full flash time

  Full flash time increased from 1.75 to 2 seconds. The fade out of the flash debuff remains the same duration but now fades slower at the start.

• 1.07

  Minimum amount of flash

  Off-screen flashes now match behavior of other flashes in the game and apply a minimum amount of flash more aggressively.

• 1.07

  Flashpoint charges

  Flashpoint charges increased from 2 to 3. Breach should be a choice pick in offensive entry and breaking utility. While the flash's power was pretty good, too few charges were holding him back on being able to provide this value for his team. Considering he needs teammates to capitalize on his flashes, this should make up for that cost by simply having more of them.

• 1.07

  Flashpoint windup

  Reduced Flashpoint windup time from 0.6 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

• 1.07

  Rolling Thunder delay

• 1.07

  Concussion

  Concuss now de-scopes players and prevents re-scoping.

• 1.07

  Viper's smoke abilities decay on allies

  Decay on all Viper's smoke abilities no longer affects allies. This is mainly targeted towards Viper's Pit, and should help reduce some of the unintentional collateral damage she can cause to her team, while also opening new strategies for playing around her ult as a team.

• 1.07

  VFX to be multi-threaded

  Improved framerate by allowing a wider variety of VFX to be multi-threaded, examples include Breach's Rolling Thunder.

• 1.06

  Flashpoint audio and visuals

  The audio and visuals for Breach Flashpoint blinding effect should better indicate when to turn away, and when it's safe to look again.

• 1.04

• 1.0

  Sound visualization

  We've brought in more sounds made by Agents under the category of sounds that display their audio distance on the mini-map via the white circle. This includes ability sounds, reloads, spike interactions and more. Why? We wanted to provide players with the ability to understand when their noise can be heard by enemies and give them an idea of how far the sounds can be heard.
