Greetings LawBreakers,
Welcome to Closed Alpha Patch 0.2, featuring a whole lot of fixes, some balance changes, and few new additions.
The biggest change we've made this patch is removing Aim Down Sight (ADS) from Enforcer's weapons. We've received a lot of feedback on the Aerator, specifically around its lack of unique and interesting mechanics. We've also seen overall negative effects of high precision, high rate of fire hit-scan damage at long range. We'll be spending the next few weeks hammering on ideas for where to go with the Aerator, and in the meantime we've removed ADS to gather data and feedback on how Enforcer fares without it. As for the Badger, ADS was basically useless, so we'll be looking to add a new right click for it in the coming weeks. We'd love you to drop by Discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/0zkX7vahALB3hshU) or right here in the forums and let us know what you'd like to see!
We've also received a ton of feedback about base movement speed and punishing cooldown times. We hear you, and we've begun running internal tests with changes to movement and cooldowns. Look for some of these changes to surface in the near future.
