Looking for anyone crazy enough to join us tonight. Nothing organized. Just pop in and shoot enemies.

Shit, I completely forgot about this last night. I miss playing with you guys!

Infiltrator update went in today.

Patch Notes:
Corrections

The lost bonus membership certs have been restored. The individual amounts vary from player to player, depending on the amount lost. The grant includes an extra percentage as a thank you for your patience while we sorted this issue out.

The lost individual WDS points have been restored. To make this as fair as possible, we moved everyone to one point below the next tier reward, which is a significant bump of extra points for most folks. Thanks for participating, and we appreciate all the great feedback on this event.

Infiltrator

New Tool: Motion Spotter

When placed, the motion spotter spots all nearby moving enemy players on the mini-map

New Ability: Stalker Cloak

Stalker cloak does not drain energy as long as the infiltrator remains stationary, allowing the cloak to last indefinitely. However, stalker cloak prevents the use of the infiltrators primary weapon and regenerates slower than the hunter cloak.

New Suit Slot: Adrenaline Pump

Increases the Infiltrator's sprint speed while equipped

New Armor Choices: Gold and Lumifiber

New Weapon: MKV Suppressed

The MKV has an integrated suppressor that prevents the user from showing on the minimap when firing. It features superior bullet velocity and long range stopping power compared to SMGs using optional aftermarket suppressors.

New Weapon: Hunter QCX

The powerful Hunter QCX Quad-Cam crossbow is a lightweight sidearm, capable of silently taking out targets up to medium range with deadly precise bolts. Has two unique rail attachments.

Explosive Bolt: Replaces the default bolt with an explosive tipped variant that does light damage to MAX units and other enemy armor

Recon Bolt: Replaces the default bolt with a low damage variant that includes a sensor device. The sensor can detect enemy movement within a limited range

Cloak Improvements

Reduced the cloak visibility when moving in all states except for sprinting. Sprinting retains the same visibility setting as before

Cloak visibility will now transition faster when changing from one movement state to another

For example, cloaked players will now reach the lower visibility state faster after they stop moving

Fixed a bug that that was sometimes preventing the cloak visibility state from updating correctly

For example, crouching will now always enter the crouch state. No more having to move slightly to reach the lowest visibility setting.

EMP grenades will now destroy the below enemy explosives and deployables. This destroy effect will even work through cover.

Tank Mines

Personal Mines

C4

Placed Motion Spot tools

Detect Tool sensors (this includes crossbow bolts)

Spawn Beacons

Darklight Flashlights

All Flashlight weapon attachments have been converted into Darklight Flashlights.

The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position. The light can be turned on and off with the Toggle Attachment hotkey

Cloaked Infiltrators will see their first person arms change color if they’re being illuminated by darklight as feedback

Squad Boosts

They've returned to the Depot and have been improved.

The self-buff portion of squad xp boosts is now 50%, up from 30%

All squad xp boosts now buff the squad's xp gain by 5% per boost, up from 3%.

Activating squad boosts will notify squad members that one has been activated.

All Alpha Squad and Heroic Boosts now buff squad xp gains by 5%, including those already equipped.

Valentine's Day

For a limited time you can purchase pink and black/pink variants of the Hunter QCX. Getting kills with each special V-Day weapon will unlock a unique title.

See the Depot for a selection of themed items and check out the Cheap Date and Unwanted Advance Bundles for the best value.

Amp Stations

Layout adjustments to Zurvan and Dahaka

Adjusted Dahaka to provide more cover in the vehicle bay.

Adjusted Zurvan walls to provide more visual awareness inside the base.

WDS Preseason

Changed scoring values based on Preseason Feedback

Small Outpost:

Capture / Hold value scales 2 -> 8

Defend value scales 3 -> 25

Large Outposts

Capture, Hold, and Defend value scales 4 -> 16

Bio Labs

Capture Hold & Defend value scales 8 -> 32

Tech Plants & Amp Stations

Capture / Hold value scales 8 ->32

Defend Value scales 12 -> 50

Bio labs and large outposts have a smaller defend scaling simply because they have 3+ points and they are easy to cheese and get a lot of extra defense points out of it. So we lowered the value on these so the entire event doesn't boil down to cheesing these two facility types.

Balance

Tank mines are now smaller

Coyote Missiles:

Inner Radius Blast Range reduced from 1 meter to 0.35 meters

Inner Radius Blast Damage reduced from 334 damage to 200 damage

Decoy Flares will now prevent Coyote missiles from locking on

Hornet Missiles

Projectile Speed increased from 100 meters a second to 125 meters a second

Tomcat Missiles

You can now switch weapons once the missile is in flight and still maintain lock

Antares LC projectile speed increased from 700 to 800 (matching the Saron)

M20 Kestrel projectile speed increased from 650 to 750 (matching the M20 Mustang)

M18 Locust projectile speed increased from 650 to 750 (matching the Needler)

ESF Racer frames have had their cruising speed bonus increased.

Reaver/Scythe Rank 3 now grants around +35 KPH up from +20 KPH

Mosquito Rank 3 now grants around +30 KPH up from +10 KPH

Underbarrel Grenade Launchers: Increased direct hit damage from 750 to 800. This was mainly to give a slight damage increase against MAX units and armor

Pump-action shotguns are no longer stuck in iron sights during the chamber animation

Semi-auto Scout Rifles: NC Shadow, TR HSR-1, VS Nyx

Increased min damage from 250 to 280

Projectile velocity increased from 500 to 550 on NC and TR, from 500 to 540 on VS (lower because of no drop)

Misc

Audio pass on Rocket Launchers. They should be heard at further distances and more distinct.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a case where locked on projectiles would ignore terrain

Explosives will now blow up deployables and other explosives

Fixed a bug that was often causing explosives to do partial damage. Explosion damage will now be more consistent across the board

Fixed healing grenades not functioning at all

Fixed an issue where the medic tool's heal beam would be invisible

Reload audio for the T9 Carv and T9 Carv-S will now be synced with the animation

Fixed issue where sometimes there were two liberator icons when previewing vehicle items

The NC14 Bolt Driver's Rail slot options are properly available as certifications again

Fixed an issue where notifications would sometimes persist

Fixed a case where vehicle debris would do too much damage to other vehicles

Fixed misspellings on External Fuel Tank certifications

Fixed tooltip error in scout radar descriptions

Fixed an issue where the reload HUD timer didn't match the weapon's animation in the centralized HUD mode

The effect for the Heavy Assault resist shield will stay on for the entire duration of the ability

Fixed fire animation sometimes freezing on burst weapons

Visual tracers will no longer go through collision

Can now obtain Auraxium Medal on the M9 SKEP Launcher. NOTE: Kills earned before this fix do not count towards progress

Fixed issue where some platinum weapon variants (NS-15MP, NS-11CP and NS-357P Underboss) did not award ribbons

Fixed some invalid attachments showing up for Coyote Missiles in VR zone

Fixed the NS-44P Commissioner (platinum variant) having less ammo than the other Commissioner variants

waldizzo · 13 Feb 2014

Glad to see they finally gave the flashlight attachment a real purpose instead of being a giant "shoot here" target.
