1.9.3 Update

Balancing:

Throwable Wrench (Ratchet)

The Throwable Wrench from Ratchet has been revised to be less damage-focused, as that didn't seem to fit its identity.Its damage has been reduced, but it now pushes back further and has a much shorter cooldown. Its flight speed has also been increased for a smoother feel.

🔀 – Cooldown: now 6

🔀 – Damage: now 96

🔀 – Pushes more

🔀 – Moves faster

Other gadgets

A few values have been adjusted but only to align with other similar damage sources. Those changes should have a low impact on balancing and time-to-kill and were not intended to nerf or buff specific gadgets. We are still waiting for a bit more data to buff/nerf some gadgets, don’t worry it will come.

Whirling Blades (Lil’Ann)

📉 – Damage of the first hit decreased: 42 → 39

📉 – Damage of the second hit decreased: 83 → 78

Cryoslider (Celeste)

📈 – Damage increased: 83 → 88

Glove of Doom (Chip)

📉 – Damage decreased: 63 → 60

Bombardier (Zed)

📉 – Damage decreased: 117 → 112

➡️All values are expressed at level 1.
