Caustic’s Nox Gas Trap has been debuffed for more balanced and fair gameplay. The gas traps will now have 150 health points, meaning they can be destroyed by other players. This update will particularly please players who often found themselves defeated or trapped by Caustic’s tactical ability. The traps’ expiration time has been reduced from 12.5 seconds to 11. However, the gas effect will linger for two seconds after destruction or expiration.

Crypto’s drone ability improvement has also been requested for a while. Gamers kept finding it difficult to control the flying drone to scan the enemies, keep up with squadmates, and attack if detected at the same time with the ability. Activating Crypto’s ultimate ability will now allow players to decide whether to enter the drone’s point of view and scan the area, or gain intel on the surroundings without switching control to the drone.

The Hammerpoint Rounds hop-up is now having an improved, far stronger effect on the Mozambique, P2020, and RE-45
