Balancing

Stratagems

• Shield Generator Relay
  • Increased lifetime from 30 to 40 sec

Primary Weapons

• SG-8P Punisher Plasma
  • In response to popular Helldiver demand, General Brasch has issued an administrative order to revert the production changes made to the SG-8P Punisher Plasma (from Patch 01.001.104)
    • We have reverted the latest changes so the SG-8P Punisher Plasma will now have a more noticeable arc in its projectile path, starting off slower and maintaining speed longer. This will affect its recoil, fire rate, and projectile behavior
  • To further improve its effectiveness, the magazine capacity has increased from 8 to 10
