Y4S3 Ember Rise Patch Notes Addendum

Many changes have been made over the course of the Ember Rise Test Server period. Below you will find the additional patch notes for Operation Ember Rise.

BALANCING

For full details and insights into the Y4S3 balancing changes, please see our Pre-Season Designer’s Notes.

  • Defuse timer changed to 7 seconds (from 5s) for both Ranked and Unranked playlists. Casual playlist still at 5s defuse timer.
  • Hostage position in 2F Theatre room on Coastline has been moved to in front of the TV.
  • Slightly increased vulnerability radius of deployable shields and Volcan shields to explosives.

GOYO

  • Goyo – Fire from Volcan Shield fire AoE duration lowered to 10s (previously 12s).

IQ + AMARU

  • G8A1 magazines (IQ and Amaru) increased to 301 (up from 201) in PvP. PvE increased to 401 (from 201).

OTHER

  • SMG Recoil Animation Update - With Ember Rise we updated the SMG animations and now each one has it's own unique set of animations. The resulting effect is that there is less perceived shaking when ADS. This is an update to the animation only and recoil has not changed.

  • RFF: We have delayed the following updates while we work on a few things.

    • Player Behavior – Playlists lock after leaving a ranked game.
    • Player Behavior – RFF Squad management.
    • Player Comfort – New surrender parameters.

We’ll provide an updated timeline for these changes when they are closer to release.

BUG FIXES

GAMEPLAY

  • FIXED – Hot breaching exploit.

  • FIXED – Reloading of an extra shell in all non–magazine fed shotguns.

  • FIXED – Frag grenades remains in the player's hands if you attempt to ADS and use the gadget before the ADS animation completes.

  • FIXED – Nitro cell sometimes wont detonate.

  • FIXED – Reinforcing a wall after attaching a shield in a nearby door way will destroy the shield.

  • FIXED – Full ADS accuracy is not attained when ADS animation is completed.

  • FIXED – While vaulting, ADS is misaligned for operators with ballistic shields.

  • FIXED – ADS shooting animation is delayed after sprinting when angled grip is equipped,

  • FIXED – Advance deployment gauge does not match the real deployment time of the Deployable shield V2.

  • FIXED – Quickly switching between secondary and primary gadgets will cancel the deployment animation.

  • FIXED – Improper breach charge explosion can result in damage or death of players on deploying end.

  • FIXED – Detonating a "Breach Charge" does not pull operator out of ADS.

  • FIXED – Breach charges can kill a player through a soft wall that was not destroyed.

  • FIXED – Two shields can be placed within the same double doorframe. One doorframe = one deployable shield.

  • FIXED – Deployable shields cannot be attached onto two doors that are close to each other.

  • FIXED – Weapon rotation and lean transition times are out of sync.

  • FIXED – Switching between spectating the owner of a drone and the drone can remove SFX of jammed drones and pest SFX.

  • RFF:

    • FIXED – Currently, if Volcan shield explodes and kills the hostage, the player that detonated the explosion is responsible. Now Goyo/his team are responsible in all situations. Goyo’s Volcan shield kills will follow the same design philosophy of Smoke/Capitao – if the hostage dies or goes into DBNO from the shield, Goyo is responsible. If Goyo leaves the game/disconnects, his team is responsible.
    • FIXED – Missing RFF icon in kill log and death cam replay if a player suicides by bleeding out during DBNO as a result of RFF.
    • FIXED – Suiciding after RFF is active gives the wrong message and killfeed icon.
    • FIXED – Situations: RFF UI appears when player dies while holding the hostage.
    • FIXED – RFF: When hostage is killed by Volcan Shield while Goyo is dead, his team is responsible. Intent: In line with our RFF design philosophy, as long as Goyo is in the game, dead or alive, he should be responsible for the hostage death.
