Patch dispatch from High Command For this patch we bring you a number of adjustments fixes and improvements do aid your democratic endevours Overview For this patch, we have made improvements and changes to the following areas: Balance changes to weapons, stratagems, and enemies Change to the Spread Democracy mission Balancing General Armors with armor rating above 100 now also reduce damage on headshots. Victory poses will now only play for the extracted.
Looks like it now takes two AC rounds to kill a strider from the front, up from one pre-patch, or four shots from the Scorcher, up from two. This was with shots to the hip/groin area of the walker. Tolerable change IMO, Striders were made really trivial due to the numbers of ACs and Scorchers players were often bringing vs. bots. The AC in particular staggers the Strider badly, so while the first shot no longer kills the strider it will prevent it from shooting back before the kill shot lands.
