[2019-06-10] Y4S2 Patch Notes Addendum

GAMEPLAY

Balancing Changes

Stealth gauge

  • Vigil’s ERC-7 cloaking and Caveira’s Silent step now use the same new gauge behavior system that we have introduced with Nøkk.
  • All three abilities can be activated at any time (even while refilling) if above 20% ratio.

We have unified the stealth gauge system to maintain gameplay clarity and consistency.

Frost

  • Reduce Frost's Welcome Mats to 66 HP (down from 100 HP)

By reducing the health points of Frost traps, we aim at making them easier to destroy. At 100 HP, we felt Frost Mats were sometimes too hard to destroy, and we want cautious players to be rewarded accordingly.

Kaid

  • Swapping Kaid’s barbed wire for Nitro Cell.

We are replacing Kaid’s barbed wire for the Nitro Cell after reviewing Kaid’s performance and player feedback. By adding the C4 to his loadout, we hope to make him more versatile and to up his pickrate.

Pulse

  • Decreased to Pulses Cardiac Sensor unequipping time to 0.65s (down from 0.8s)

By increasing the swap speed of Pulse’s gadget, we are trying to make Pulse’s gadget a bit more appealing and comfortable to use during a round. Following community feedback on the change over the course of the TS, we feel 0.65 is a good middle ground.

Twitch

  • F2 assault rifle recoil increased.

We have increased the recoil of the F2 assault rifle. As an Operator with one of the highest performance and pick rates, having one of the most powerful weapons in her hands made her a bit too powerful. To address this, we’ve increased the recoil of the Famas based on feedback and will continue monitoring for future changes.

Sound propagation changes

We have been continuously working to gradually improve sound propagation in game and on our maps. With this Y4S2 update we’ve made global improvements to sound propagation in order to address inconsistent results when interacting with reinforcements.

  • Fixed inconsistent propagation obstruction on partially reinforced walls.
  • Fixed inconsistent propagation on reinforced tall walls with a destroyable upper half where sound would not pass.
  • With this fix we're aware that an issue still exists where sound will propagate over broken walls even when the wall is reinforced. We will continue working to address it in a future update.

Changes to UbiClub Challenges , trophies and achievements.

With this new season, our trophies and achievements are modified to offer challenges that are corresponding to the current Siege experience. .

Here is how different platforms will be impacted, keep in mind that completion criteria might have changed. (Check trophy description if needed.) .

PS4/PC

  • Trophies in progress and not finished will be reset.

  • Trophies completed, will still be completed, but their description and visual aspect will be updated.

  • XboxOne

  • Trophies in progress and not finished, will see their progression carried over.

  • Trophies completed, will still be completed, but their description and visual aspect will be updated.

With the start of the new season, Ubisoft Club Challenges will now run on a Thursday > Thursday schedule.

Exploits

We are continuing to work to address the exploits involving Clash, Claymores, and Deployable Shields. The final fix should be deployed during the season. In the meantime, we will be pushing a partial fix and additional fail-safes that will allow us to re-enable Clash, deployable shields, and claymores. The goal of these failsafes is to make sure that the glitches cannot be exploited even in the chance that they are replicated.

  • Clash: Added a failsafe that resets them back to normal if they achieve the glitch.
  • IQ: Added a failsafe that turns her visible if she manages to go invisible.
  • Deployable shields: Added a failsafe that will not allow players to shoot if they glitch, and the shield will be automatically deployed on the ground after 2 seconds.

We are also temporarily changing Warden and Nøkk’s secondary gadget loadouts to minimize potential issues.

  • Warden: Replace 1x Deployable Shield with 2x Impact Grenades
  • Nøkk: Replace 1x Claymore with 3x Stun Grenades

This change will be in place with the start of the season. We will restore their original loadouts during Season 2 once our complete fix is deployed.

Player Experience

To provide more readability on defuser assignment, in casual bomb game modes the defuser icon now shows up next to who the defuser is assigned to on the ready screen. If the assigned player leaves during prep phase and the defuser is reassigned, the icon will still be visible on newly assigned player.

KNOWN ISSUES

DROPSHOTTING

We're aware that players can dropshot with the season update and are working on a fix to be released during the season.

BANDIT AND MUTE ELITE SET ISSUES

On consoles, the Elite Bandit Chibi charm and Mute’s SMG-11 Royal Fusiliers weapon skin will be temporarily unavailable at Year 4 Season 2’s launch.

For players who own them, the rest of the Bandit and Mute Elite sets will function normally. However, if the charm or the weapon skin is equipped, it will not show up in the game. They will only be visible in your menu inventory.

The Elite Bandit and Mute sets will be temporarily removed from our Console shops until the issues are fixed in the Y4S2.1 patch. They will once again be unlockable after the patch.
