The Cindershot is a enjoyable and highly effective weapon to make use of, however we acknowledge it may be irritating to be redirected by the impulse of the explosion.

We hope this may enhance each side of the fight expertise whereas nonetheless sustaining the Cindershot’s effectiveness as an influence weapon.
Take away inverted impulse impact.
Rounds per second decreased 1.33 >> 1.1
We felt the vary during which the Gravity Hammer can absolutely remove an enemy was too far, so we needed to handle this within the slightest of how.
Slight lower of elimination vary.
Radius low 1.25 >> 1.75
Radius excessive 2 >> 2.5
Spike Grenades have been underperforming within the core gameplay loop, and we felt a change in detonation conduct could enhance its viability. Step one we took was to make sure the Spike Grenade reached its supposed goal by stopping its detonation midair. Moreover, as soon as the Spike Grenade does attain its supposed goal it is going to detonate extra rapidly—just like different grenades within the sandbox.
Detonation timer begins modified from instantly >> when at relaxation.
Timer decreased (low & excessive) 1.8 >> 1.2 seconds.
