“The new weapon class system is flexible enough to allow players to create interesting loadouts while limiting similar weapons from being equipped. This will prevent annoying double ground pound, or triple chain loadouts.”

All armor, belt items, packs, and weapons have been rebalanced. Please refer to our weapon stats spreadsheet for more information.

Replaced primary and secondary weapon restrictions with a weapon class system to limit equipping of similar weapons in all weapon slots.

  • Impact - Explode on impact
  • Automatics - Rapid fire weaponry
  • Timed - Fuse timed explosives
  • Sidearms - Small backup weaponry
  • Short Range - High damage short range weaponry
  • Speciality - Armor specific weaponry

New Heavy Weapon: EFG

“The EFG fires a matrix of concentrated Electronic Flux that sap energy on enemy contact.”

Added to Heavy’s Close Range weapons class.

Behavior

  • Fires 7 projectiles that explode on impact.
  • Fire interval set to 0.75
  • Magazine contains 8 shots.
  • Projectile size set to 30.

New Medium Weapon: ELF Projector

“The Electronic Flux, or ELF, Projector focuses and drains the energy from enemies nearby. The process also causes minor injury to the armor wearer.”

Behavior

  • Locks a target by aiming and firing at them, then keeps the target locked within a 75 degree cone as you continue to fire the weapon.
  • Lock is lost if the distance is greater than 1250 or the target leaves the cone.
  • Base Turrets that are being drained by the ELF Projector lock up and shut down for the duration of the attack.

Damage

Drains energy away from target at a rate of 30% per second. Note: this does not pause the enemy's energy regeneration rate.

These rates are increased to 60% / 10% on vehicles and 90% / 20% on base assets.

  • Now have damage values in line with spinfusors.

BXT1

  • “The New BXT1 is a self charging sniper rifle that doesn’t drain energy to fire. It has a faster charge rate and refire time but damage caps out earlier than the Phase Rifle and it also suffers from damage falloff at range. It’s charge time doubled while moving faster than 100 sanics. Damage is gained exponentially over time while in scope, this means the BXT1 needs to be at least 50% charged before you start to see higher damage numbers gained. This weapon is best used for medium range sniping support.”
  • Fire interval reduced to 1.25, down from 1.5 seconds.
  • Aim charge time remains at 4 seconds, but at speeds over 100 sanics, charge time is cut in half to 2 seconds.

  • Projectiles no longer blow up without being attached to something. If you detonate while a projectile is in the air it will fizzle out and no damage will be dealt from that projectile.

Laser targeter has returned, it can be selected by pressing L by default.

  • Places a marker on screen for teammates so they may more accurately hit distant targets.
  • Laser targeter must remain stationary for 1 second before the target is relayed to teammates.
  • Can be used to mark objects of interest for teammates.
  • Compensates for inheritance on the teammates screen.

Phase Rifle

  • “The new Phase Rifle works much like the Laser Rifle from previous Tribes titles. It charges slowly, but does not suffer from any falloff damage at range. Damage is linearly gained over time based on energy regeneration rate. The * Phase Rifle is also more powerful post flag grab due to the gained Rage buff. ”
  • Damage per energy increased to 3 per energy consumed.
  • Fully charged shot consuming 125 energy deals 375 damage.
  • Fully charged shot consuming 150 energy, after Rage buff, deals 450.

  • Projectile Speed increased to 3920, up from from 3200.
  • +100% more damage to vehicles

  • Damage dealt from behind is still doubled for a max damage of 1500.
  • Range increased to 768.

  • Removed self impulse modifier that reduced impulse by 50% resulting in the weapon dealing 41% of a normal spinfusor disk’s impulse.
  • Reduced impulse values to 50% of a normal disk.

Vehicles

“Vehicles have long needed some love. Most leave the pilot and passenger completely vulnerable to attack from players flying above you, speeds are slower than a modestly skilled player, and the weapons were completely cumbersome. This lead to the Shrike Ram being the only viable usage of vehicles.

This is a first pass, and we will likely make additional changes to vehicles in the future.”

Explosive damage falloff has been converted to linear falloff, with a minimum damage.

  • “Perks falsely offered customization to your class. There were only bad choices that a player could make by not equipping a specific perk. For example Quickdraw was required to duel another player and if you didn’t have it you were very likely going to lose the fight. It was the rock-paper-scissors type gameplay that perks promoted that did not fit with the new more flexible loadout choices.”
