PvP:

Aten Lens Array Mk. S:

• 200 shots
• 10 shots per second
• No jitter
• Single 'shot' (no buckshot)
• 30% chance of single fire per hit.
• 40deg side arcs
• 25deg up and down

• 1 Fire on Burst

New KOTH map:

• Ashen Kerfuffle (2v2 and 3v3)

Ammo Changes:

Burst:

• +50% AOE
• +10% AOE damage
• -15% RoF

Extended Magazine ("Pirate" in game):

• +30% clip
• -10% RoF
• -15% damage

30% over 25% only effects light carro, Gat, mortar, and flamer, so should be a good move. Changed the rof and removed some damage due to 2 shot gun concerns.

Lochnagar:

• -50% Rate of Fire. (from 0)
• -50% Clip Size. (from 60%)
• -90% Rotation Speed (from 80%)
• -60% Jitter

No change to other stats.
Removed the higher jitter reduction by request

Greased:

• +100% jitter

+20% jitter is hardly noticeable. All shots of Gat were able to hit a Spire at max Greased range. Pushing to a more extreme number to find the upper limits of acceptable jitter increase.

Heatsink

• Vanilla clip and ROF
• Extinguishes all fires on reload
• +50% turn speed
• -20% velocity

No change from last week. It was deemed a good fire recovery option that should pair well with the fire tools.

PvE:

Infiltrate Map - Wandering Ridge
