BATTLE ROYALE

14 Days of Summer

WEAPONS + ITEMS

Revolver

Available in Epic and Legendary variants.

Fires Medium Ammo.

Holds 6 rounds.

63 / 66 damage per shot.

Headshot multiplier of 2.

Available from Floor loot, Chests, Vending Machines, Supply Drops, and Loot Carriers.

Vaulted

Rare Tactical Assault Rifle

With the unvaulting of the Suppressed Submachine Gun, we wanted to make sure loot distribution in this class of item was well distributed.

Impulse Grenades

Rift-To-Go

Pirate Cannon

Unvaulted

Uncommon and Rare Pump Shotgun

Available in floor loot and Vending Machines

There’s been a lot of feedback around the Tactical Shotgun and Combat Shotgun effectiveness, and so we’re experimenting with a world where the Pump Shotgun joins the current shotgun lineup.

Shockwave Grenade

Suppressed SMG

We feel the Suppressed Submachine Gun can fill a complementary role to the Burst Submachine Gun as a viable alternative.

Common, Uncommon, and Rare Revolver

Tactical Shotgun

Availability from floor loot reduced from 8.19% to 5.4%

Headshot Multiplier increased from 2 to 2.25

Burst SMG

Availability adjustments

Availability from floor loot reduced from 5.03% to 3.1%

Availability from chests reduced from 18.66% to 10.32%

Balance adjustments

Base accuracy increased by 13.6%

Jumping accuracy penalty reduced from 15% to 5%

Sprinting accuracy penalty reduced from 30% to 20%

Base damage increased from 23/24/25 to 24/25/26

The Burst SMG was dropping a bit too frequently for the role it was intended to fill. Additionally, it was underperforming when compared to similar items.

SemiAuto Sniper Rifle

Availability from floor loot reduced from 0.65% to 0.44%

Availability from chests reduced from 5.1% to 3.4%

FlintKnock Pistol

Availability from floor loot reduced from 1.97% to 1.32%

Infantry Rifle

Increased the Epic and Legendary Infantry Rifle clip size from 8 to 10

Minigun

Increased player damage from 18/19 to 20/21

DrumGun

Reduced clip size from 50 to 40

Reduced fire rate from 9 to 8

Since the unvaulting, the Drum Gun has outperformed in unintended areas. This adjustment should help create more counterplay in combat.

Heavy Assault Rifle

Increased damage from 36/38/40 to 38/40/42

The Heavy Assault Rifle usage rates aren’t quite where we’d like. This adjustment to Damage is intended to offset some of the downsides of the weapon.

GAMEPLAY

Supply Llama

Increased the material count from 200 of each to 350 of each.

Increased the total number of Llamas per match from 3 to 5.
