We have a patch full of bug fixes as well as some changes to spawns in both Quick Cash and Cashout. Check out the content and balance changes here:
Balance Changes
Quick Cash
- Increased the max duration of respawn waves from 25s to 30s[/*]
- Increased the respawn wave timer increment for players who die just before a new wave spawns from 5s to 7s[/*]
Dev Note: The changes we made to Quick Cash spawning increased the pace of the mode. These two changes should slow the pace down a little, similar to what we had previously, while maintaining the benefits of spawn waves keeping teams together. We’ll monitor how these perform and continue to adjust as needed.
- li>Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from spawning very close to enemy players[/*]
Cashout
- Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from respawning very far away or far too close to objectives [/*]
- Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from spawning very close to enemy players[/*]
