This Weekly Update includes more gear balancing changes for Grenade Ordnance, as well as our first-ever Quadruple Threat for Big Encore Bosses! Consider this a Birthday Boss Bash for Robby, the designer who sets up Weekly Big Encore Bosses and wanted to celebrate by slaying some Fadefields favorites.

Please restart your game to ensure that the update goes through and to prevent connection errors in matchmaking.

Change Notes

  • Daedalus Assault Rifle Mercredi is now properly scaling with increases to Gun Damage and Assault Rifle damage
  • Ripper Grenade Buoy has received a +150% damage increase
  • Dev Note: The activation range and proximity check has proven to not be as practical in combat as we were targeting. As a result, we’ve added a dramatic increase to the damage to better fit players using it as a short-range burst of damage. 
  • Ripper Grenade Jelly damage has increased by +30%
  • Daedalus Grenade Buzz Axe damage has increased by +50%
  • Maliwan Grenade Destructo Disco base damage has increased by +50% and increased damage from its unique ability, Groove, by +100%
  • Jakobs Grenade Spinning Blade damage has increased by +200%
  • Dev Note: We acknowledge the skill test required to catch the knife after landing a hit, and have increased the damage dramatically to reward the gameplay loop.
