Humans

Soldier
- Air Strike:
  - Changed:
    - Increased clip size increase on kill from 4 to 8
- Liberty Launcher:
  - Added:
    - Gunboats: -90% rocket jump damage
    - Mantreads: +30% movespeed bonus
      - Now Liberty Launcher gives bonuses to all soldiers unlocks
Shotguns
- Added:
  - +25% bonus damage vs jumping robots
Reserve Shooter
- Changed:
  - Reduced the damage bonus vs jumping robots from +100% to +75%
    - The thought behind the shotguns dealing more damage to robots when they are jumping is to make robots pick a ground game or a jumping game. Where snipers are good vs non-jumping robots and shotguns are good vs jumping robots, meaning the robots can choose which option to pick depending on what the humans do. If there are multiple shotgun users it will be better for them to not jump even if there are a few snipers.

Robots with Stomp
- Changed:
  - Increased fall damage from 50 to 100
  - Reduced stomp damage from 500 to 125
Disrutpors
- Removed:
  - Bonus coin generation
    - Given how impactful disruptor suicide is and how it snowballs hard if done right, it’s better to keep the economics of the robots steady. That way it’s easier to count robot deaths to see how much coins they would have and add another element to master in this gamemode
Lister, Samwiz, Mechaface
- Removed:
  - Incorrect bonus coin on death
Tone Techniciaon
- Added:
  - 3x capture rate
- Changed:
  - Rocket Jumper:
    - Reduced reload penalty from -400% to -75% slower
  - Market Garden:
    - Increased damage bonus vs players from +25% to +40%
- Removed:
  - Incorrect tank particle
WAMO
- Changed:
  - Reduced uber duration on MMPHHF from 5 to 3 seconds
Zonical
- Removed:
  - Larger dispenser size
    - This was moved to a new robot instead
Elmaxo
- Changed:
  - Firerate bonus from +10% to +25% faster
  - Damange peanlty vs players from -15% to -25%
    - This older design is more fair to fight for humans as the less damage makes it so he has to be closer to secure a kill, thus allowing for more counterplay for humans, this bot is still amazing at picking off lone humans with relative ease, and with these damage values, he struggles in larger groups of humans, making him a balanced robot
