Gas Cloud Hotfix Nerf Announced
Grinding Gear Games just announced a Hotfix Nerf for Gas Cloud when it is combined with persistent Ignite skills like Flame Wall. Consequently, the damage of Gas Grenade and Gas Arrow is getting adjusted. Supercharged Slam and Magnetic Salvo have gotten quick balance adjustments earlier this weekend.
Key Takeaways
Here are a few key takeaways from the patch
- Gas Grenade and Gas Arrow deal too much damage when interacting with Flame Wall and are getting adjusted
- In case the nerfs are severe enough we recommend looking at Explosive Grenade as an alternative to Gas Cloud.
- Expect more hotfixes soon.
Hotfix
"Currently, it's a bit too easy to detonate Gas Cloud explosions when combined with persistent Ignite skills like Flame Wall. We'll be adjusting the explosion damage of both Gas Grenade and Gas Arrow for now in an upcoming hotfix. In the future, we want to update it such that the potency of the Ignite or Detonator contributes to determining the damage of the Gas Cloud explosions, that way we would be able to avoid balancing around the simplest and most efficient way to apply Ignites."
