Patch notes · Raze

• 2.01

  Boom Bot through walls

  Fixed issue where Raze's Boom Bot could be placed through some walls.

• 1.08

  Blast Pack initial damage

  Initial damage reduced to 15 with a 0.2 meter inner radius, falling off to 5 minimum damage. Raze's Blast Pack has been dishing out damage without giving enemies much counterplay.

• 1.08

  Blast Pack landing damage

  Once the satchel lands, it arms after 0.5 seconds, increasing it's max damage to 50. This change should help make it very clear when Blast Pack's damage poses a threat while maintaining the utility aspects of the Blast Pack that players have begun to master.

• 1.08

  Blast Pack shooting

  Shooting the blast pack causes it to detonate, dealing its current damage amount. The blast pack now does not "fizzle" when shot and will still do damage, meaning it should still be approached carefully if in lethal range.

• 1.08

  Blast Pack and allies

  Satchel no longer does damage to allies.

• 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.

• 1.05

  Blast Pack damage

  Blast Pack damage decreased from 75 to 50. Raze's Blast Pack has been hitting players a bit too hard, able to kill a fully armored enemy in certain situations. We want to reduce this ability's efficacy at damaging players.

• 1.05

  Blast Pack sharpening

  Blast Pack now consistently does 600 damage to objects. We want to sharpening its ability at clearing enemy utility and obstacles.

• 1.05

  Showstopper equip time

  Showstopper Equip time increased from 1.1 to 1.4 seconds. With the lethality of Raze's Showstopper, we wanted to make some changes that will provide enemies more time to plan and acquire Raze when hearing "Fire in the Hole!".

• 1.05

  Showstopper quick equip time

  Showstopper Quick Equip Time increased from 0.5 to 0.7 seconds. We have adjusted VFX so that players are able to notice Raze as she fires, increasing their ability to shoot a Raze that takes riskier plays.

• 1.05

  Showstopper VFX reduced

  Showstopper VFX reduced when firing rocket, and VFX on rocket's trail slightly reduced.

• 1.04

  Showstopper cost

  Showstopper ultimate Cost changed from 6 to 7 Ult points. Raze's ultimate is one of the most impactful in the game and useful in almost any situation. As a result, it is being used a bit too often. So we're upping the cost by 1, which should help reduce how often players have to face her Showstopper.

• 1.0

  Blast Pack radius

  Blast Pack maximum damage radius reduced from 2 to 1 meters. The Blast Pack has proven to be quite strong, especially when chained back-to-back. By reducing the inner maximum damage radius, we hope to reduce the average damage output of this ability while still keeping it powerful.

• 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.

• 0.50

  Blast Pack cost

  Raze Blast Pack increased from 100 to 200 credits.

• 0.50

  Ability details in the combat report

  Ability details in the combat report will now correctly appear in the buy phase of the round when teams switch sides.

• 0.50

  Players appeared to be standing

  Fixed a rare bug where players appeared to be standing, when they were actually crouching.

• 0.49

  Smoothed out movement

  Smoothed out movement during player-to-player collisions.

• 0.49

  Ultimate icon

  Fixed the ultimate ability icon above teammates' heads showing as charged after gaining 1 ult point instead of when actually charged.

• 0.47+

  Paint Shells charges

  Reduced Paint Shells from 2 to 1.

• 0.47+

  Paint Shells refresh cooldown

  Paint Shells now have a kill reset, requiring players to get 2 kills to refresh cooldown.

• 0.47+

  Paint Shells secondary cluster

  Fixed an edge case where the secondary cluster of Paint Shells would explode quicker than intended. They now have a minimum duration before exploding. What's up with that? Raze's goal is to be a highly-threatening duelist that punishes enemies posted in predictable positions, but we felt like the cluster grenades and their number were creating overly oppressive scenarios. Also, players should be supplied proper gameplay information and the audio cues on all of Raze's abilities didn't match their threat, so we changed the audio of each. For example, when the Showstopper is equipped or fired from a distance, players should be able to clearly identify and interpret the threat.

• 0.47+

  Adjusted audio

  Tuned and adjusted audio for Paint Shells, Blast Pack, and Showstopper so that they'll be easier to hear in hectic scenarios.

• Beta

  Availability of Raze

  Raze is in the active duty since the very beginning of the Beta.
