Ripper

• Damage reduced from 200 to 100 per hit.

Weapon Adjustments:

Time To Kill - TTK has been increased by 10%.

On average, this means an extra 1-2 bullets to knock a player compared to the previous patch, depending on things like Fire Rates of each weapon. Some weapons are not linearly scaling this way such as Shotguns and Sniper Rifles which are balanced around their own number-of-shots-to-knock settings.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug with the Light Flashlights on Sidearms and SMGs that was causing them to reduce Spread. We had intended to remove this functionality from all flashlights before the previous update as part of the Spread balancing and these sneaky attachments were missed somehow. Probably because they don't light up.
