Patch history

4 changes
0.5.1
Direct change

Fixed a bug where Explosive Grenade, Storm Lance and Plasma Blast were gaining 1 less Projectile from Quality than intended.

0.2.0b
Direct change

Explosive Grenade and Voltaic Grenade Cooldowns have been lowered to 5 seconds.

0.3.0
Direct change

Rapid Shot: No longer has a delay before firing bolts, or 50% less reload speed. It now has 100 Maximum Ammunition at all Gem levels (previously 50-87) and 30-45 Maximum Heat at Gem levels 5-20 (previously 17-24). It now deals 37-94% of Attack Damage at Gem levels 5-20 (previously 21-47%). Quality now grants +0-15 Maximum Heat (previously +0-5). Heat no longer grants Rapid Shot Damage gained as Fire. Instead, reaching Maximum Heat prevents you from using the skill for 10 seconds. It now generates Heat once per attack instead of once per 0.25 seconds. Heat now begins decaying after 4 seconds without gaining Heat, at a rate of 10 Heat per second. Heat no longer grants grenade skills damage gained as fire. Instead, Explosive Grenade and Cluster Grenade consume 15 Heat to gain 50% of damage as fire damage, while Incendiary Shot consumes 30 Heat to gain 50% more ignite magnitude.

0.2.0
Direct change

Explosive Grenade cooldown is now 7 seconds (previously 3 seconds). Now has an Explosion Radius of 2-2.4 metres at Gem levels 1-20 (previously 1.8-2.4). Now has a Detonation Time of 3 seconds (previously 2.5 seconds).
