        • Able to re-launch while already in-flight
  • Medic
    • Vita-Saw:
      • Changed:
        • Increased agility rune duration from 1 to 2 seconds

Robots

  • All Explosive Damage Bots
    • Added:
      • +100% self damage vulnerability
        • This is to make it more punishing for robots if humans kamikazee into them and they blow them up too close
  • Zip Bomb
    • Added:
      • 3rd person bomb throwing animation
    • Changed:
      • Reduced caber regen time from 4 to 1 second
  • Ivory
    • Added:
      • +15% faster firing speed bonus
  • Icebear
    • Removed:
      • -10% damage penalty
        • This means direct hit rockets do 90 damage instead of 84 at any range, making him a bit better vs mass heavies
  • LED
    • Removed:
      • -10% damage penalty
  • Raid
    • Added:
      • -50% shorter fuse time
    • Changed:
      • Decreased projectile speed penalty from -40% to -30%
  • Snipers
    • Added:
      • No flinch while in scope
  • Carbine Cassidy
    • Added:
      • No flinch while in crikey mode
  • Astrobot
    • Fixed:
      • A bug where the ability wouldnt work until a certain amount of time has passed if you played Astrobot on a previous map
  • Bearded Expense
    • Changed:
      • Reduced taunt ability duration from 4.3 to 3.3 seconds
        • The leap got nerfed too hard, reduced with a second it should be more usable without being too easy and oppressive
  • Boxing Champ
    • Changed:
      • Increased dash duration from 1.5 to 2.5 seconds
      • Increased damage bonus vs players from +30% to +43%
  • Saxtron Hale
    • Changed:
      • Increased damage bonus vs players from 100% to 210%
        • This makes each hit do 202 dmg as it is in VSH
  • RoboVich
    • Changed:
      • Reduced sandvich reservoir from 150 to 75
  • Death Negator
    • Fixed:
      • The death negating not working on sentry damage
      • The death negating sometimes not working for some random reason
  • Artillery
    • Added:
      • 4 bonus clip size
        • Artillery has been underwhelming due to the reliance on getting kills, and with only 4 in the starting clip this is not easy to do, doubling the clip size will start him off in a better spot as he’s a paid bot

Backend

  • Added Native Votes for map voting
  • Fixed a logic error that made robots take normal damage instead of reduced damage when teams are favored for humans
  • Adjusted low power damage factor from 14 to 15. This means human damage scaling is a bit weaker, which hopefully should result in better low power games.
  • Restructured some of the human stats, making it easier to generate wikipedia pages in an upcoming update
