Weapon TTK Reduction

In an effort to improve the feeling of weapon combat we have reduced the Time-To-Kill (TTK) of Weapons by approximately 30%.

• Numerically, this is a sharp reduction in TTK, so all weapons underwent full Spread passes to tune their overall bloom under consistent firing scenarios. This means that simply aiming at someone and holding down the fire-button is no longer guaranteed to land every shot on the target with minimal effort
  unless they are very close to you. With a lower TTK, there was no longer a necessity for weapons to be as accurate as they were before because fewer shots need to hit a target to knock them now.

This Spread increase serves three purposes:

• To add more skill requirements to Weapon Combat that more players are familiar with and already comfortable with.

• To ensure there is enough survivability at mid-to-long ranges.

  • Typical scenarios include flying with the Jetpack, using Leapers, escaping with the Roadrunners.

• To aid with the feeling that Aim Assist is too strong in certain scenarios.

We can’t list every specific change that has been made as these patch notes would end up being too much to both document and read, so a summary is as follows:

• Spread has been increased significantly when firing weapons for extended periods of time. This varies from weapon family to weapon family (Terikon, Hawk, etc.) and is subject to further tweaks over the
  coming weeks.

• Spread-affecting Weapon Attachments have been rebalanced around the new Spread values to provide more balanced adjustments both positively and negatively and some have had their Spread-affecting
  values removed where it made sense.

• Spread has been increased for most weapons when the player is airborne (Falling, Jumping).

• Spread has been increased slightly when the player is moving (ADS Walking, Running)

• Spread has been slightly reduced again for Snipers using third-person sights when airborne.

• Spread has been slightly reduced again for Snipers using third-person sights when moving (ADS Walking, Running).

• Weapons have had damage drop-off adjustments to account for the new TTK.

• Some weapons have had slight RPM tweaks to fit them into their respective TTK brackets.

• Weapon Variants have all been rebalanced slightly to ensure they do not massively outperform or underperform their base weapon counterparts without losing their identities.

We want to stress that this is just the first step on this new way forward with Weapons combat in OTG, with many more changes, tweaks and improvements coming in the next weeks based on your feedback. A few
things to note that we are aware of and are already making the first pass of improvements on:

• Spread is aggressive now, so we will likely be tightening it in gradual amounts until we reach the perfect feeling for it.

• Mid-to-long range survivability is now likely to be higher than before the patch, perhaps excessively so, and this directly correlates with how many shots you land before your Spread becomes unmanageable.
  The point above this one will simultaneously address this.

• Some weapons may feel like their new Spread values don’t quite fit their proper usage cases based on how players prefer to use them, so this will be addressed as soon as possible based on feedback.

• Individual weapons may prove to be stronger or weaker in the new system than intended, so providing feedback on this would be greatly appreciated so we can tackle weapons on an individual basis.

• Recoil has not been touched with this new TTK pass and will be undergoing adjustments in the coming weeks to finally add proper recoil patterns.

We will be iterating and improving on this every update over the coming weeks to tighten the Weapon Combat up as quickly as possible and we appreciate any and all constructive feedback.
