10.2.2a Backend Bugfix Patch

Last week, we introduced the Backend Tunables system as a way to get small balance changes in your hands quicker without having to wait for patch releases. We mentioned having changes planned for a number of Killers and today, we're putting this system to use with some adjustment to The Executioner and The Good Guy.

 

The Executioner:

• Decreased the time to activate Rites of Judgment to 0.8s (was 1s)

• Increased the time to cancel Rites of Judgment to 1.2s (was 1s)

• Decreased the maximum charges for Rites of Judgment to 8 (was 10)

• Increased the Rites of Judgment recharge rate to 0.5 charges/s (was 0.25 c/s)

• Decreased Punishment of the Damned's initial spawn delay to 0.25s (was 0.267s)

• Decreased the delay between each segment of Punishment of the Damned to 0.001s (was 0.033s)

• Increased each segment's lifetime to 0.3s (was 0.18s)

• Increased Punishment of the Damned's maximum range to 16m (was 10m)

Dev note: Overall, our goal is to make The Executioner feel snappier when using his power, while also giving him more range to help promote those awesome plays.

 

The Good Guy:

• Decreased Hidey-Ho mode's cooldown to 10s (was 12s)

• Decreased the time to vault during Slice & Dice to 0.8s* (was 1s)*

• Increased the maximum Slice & Dice time to 2s (was 1.8s)

Dev note: We felt that The Good Guy could use a little bit of a boost to his lethality while in power, so we've made some adjustments to put him in a better place for the long term.

 

As a reminder, this update does not require a download of any new content, however players will need to restart their game for the changes to take effect.
