Humans

• Soldier & Demoman
  • Half Zatoichi:
    • Changed:
      • Increased health on hit from 15 to 25
        • 35 was too much, 15 was too little, maybe 25 is just right
• Sniper
  • Huntsman:
    • Added:
      • +20% faster firing speed
• Pyro
  • Back Scratcher
    • Added:
      • 20 second bleed on hit
    • Removed:
      • Healing penalty from healers

Robots

• Stealthed Robots
  • Added:
    • Electric weapons removes stealth on hit
  • Changed:
    • Bleed now removes stealth on each bleed tick on hit
  • Removed:
    • Fire no longer removes stealth
  • This only applies to the Mr Paladin and Cloaker stealth cloak, regular cloak is unaffected by this
• B4nny
  • Removed:
    • Doing damage yields damage bonus buff
• Zonical
  • Changed:
    • Reduced switch duration bonus from 1.5 to 1 second
    • Increased damage bonus vs players from +125% to +200%
    • Reduced fire rate penalty from -150% to -300% slower
    • Removed faster reload speed bonus
    • This change makes it so long range non-crit dmg will be 38 per shot, and min-crit shots will be 71 up close 61 long range. And only the first 3 shots if you hold attack button down will be mini-crit. This should make it more rewarding considering how hard this robot is to play
• Skymin
  • Changed:
    • Increased uber charge rate penalty from -15% to -25% slower
      • The latest change with longer duration and faster build rate med the vaccinator charges a little too common, this reduction should make there be more time between each vaccinator charge without it crippling the robot’s power
• Dr Crossbow Cop
  • Changed:
    • Increased heal bolts needed for buff from 10 12
    • Reduced clip size from 3 to 2
    • These changes made Crossbow cop way too easy and good compared to the effort needed, as he was fine how he was originally, just not played that much
• Carbine Cassidy
  • Added:
    • +102.5% damage bonus vs players
  • Changed:
    • Reduced headshot damage from +200% to +100%
  • This change makes hitting all 4 shots in volley the following: 4xBodyshot=52 at max range.4xHeadshot=386 4xMini-critBodyShot=196. With these changes the reward is larger to match the difficulty of this robot
• Crocotron
  • Changed:
    • Bushwacka to Kukri

Backend

• MvM upgrade station stats:
  • Robots: Touching Resupply no longer brings up the menu
