(Aeros) Rush Ability
- Now also grants immunity from debuffs, such as stuns or slows, while the ability is active
-
(Meridian) Phasma SMG
- Reduced the speed at which shots grow by 50%
- Reduced the maximum size of shots by 20%
- Dev Note: Because the Phasma is not a hitscan weapon, its projectiles grow as they travel. These changes make it slightly harder to hit shots at longer ranges without impacting the weapon’s performance at close range or overall damage.
