Here is a summary of the weapon tuning and Specialist weapon and ability tuning changes we made for the Playstation beta and just released for the Xbox One beta. Still TBD if we are going to do this for PC.
Adjustments to the following weapons:
M8A7
Increased time in between bursts
Has a slightly increased upward recoil pattern
Drakon
Increased Recoil
Fire rate is a little faster
Hitting an enemy in the upper chest no longer 1-hit kills. Neck up does 1-hit kill
Razorback
Used to kill in 4 shots out to 1250 units, now should only kill in 4 shots out to 800. Anything beyond 800 should take 5 shots to kill. 850 units is roughly the length of the bridge on Hunted.
Slightly increased recoil
HVK
Hip spread size is a little smaller.
Vesper
Used to kill in 4 shots out to 350 units, now should only kill in 4 shots out to 300. Anything beyond 300 units will be at least 5 shots to kill.
Haymaker
Fire rate has increased by about 10%. Should be noticeable. Should take roughly 2.25 seconds to empty a standard magazine.
KRM
Up close damage increased. Should never cause a non-lethal hit within 250 units. Damage at a further distance has been reduced and can’t 1 hit kill as far out, even when ADS.
XR-2
Delay between bursts has been reduced by a frame, very slight change.
