Fortnite’s mounted turrets get a serious nerf
Epic nerfed Fortnite’s turrets just days after they went live in-game. Mounted turrets came to Fortnite this week, but Epic has nerfed them already following an exploit players found that used them to make traps almost indestructible. The devs also announced that turret availability will now be limited in Solos, Duos, and Squads. The turrets were rolled out in patch V6.30 and it wasn’t long before some bright spark figured out that they could pop them below a spike trap for a 5,000 HP trap. Epic quickly stepped in with a hotfix that reduced turret floor health from 5,000 to 1,000, and turret health from 800 to 400. As with all new items, the drop rate seemed pretty high, but this isn’t the case anymore. “We’ve reduced the availability of the Mounted Turret in all default modes (Solo, Duos, Squads),” said the dev on Reddit. The studio hasn’t clarified what the new drop rate is. … [Read more...] about Fortnite’s mounted turrets get a serious nerf
‘Fix PUBG’ overhaul wraps up, developers say
“Fix PUBG” is over. PUBG has been fixed. PUBG Corp. said on Friday that the three-month project to shore up PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ performance, matchmaking, balance and fair play has drawn to a close. Going forward, said Taeseok Jang, the game’s executive producer, developers will focus on stability and gameplay quality — priorities that had been forsaken as the team pushed to get new content out, leading to the need to fix PUBG. “At first, this is likely to slow down our build cadence” Taeseok wrote, “but as these processes become more proficient, we hope to provide new content as fast as before, while maintaining our new stability and quality-first goal. “We acknowledge that in this process, we have overlooked issues that matter to you and we have reflected a lot on our mistakes,” Taeseok said. It’s not literally the end of fixing the game, of course, but Taeseok said PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds … [Read more...] about ‘Fix PUBG’ overhaul wraps up, developers say
The Overwatch League’s Hangzhou Spark know how to brand themselves
Since the Overwatch League announced eight new expansion teams for season two, there’s only been one question on everyone’s mind: what colours will they use? At first, it seemed they were all going to be duds, falling back on the sea of blues and reds already dominating the matches. The Chengdu Hunters did something interesting with their yellow kit, but nothing can match the most recent announcement: Hangzhou Spark and their baby pink. Back when the expansion teams were first announced I wrote: “I find it very unlikely that any of these new teams will unseat the Shanghai Dragons as my favourite, but I’ll reserve judgement until I see their player acquisitions, logos, and most importantly, colour schemes. The first team to deck themselves out in pink like top Korean team Runaway will be a strong contender for my undying support.” Honestly, I wasn’t really expecting someone to take me up on the offer, but I’m very glad that Hangzhou did. … [Read more...] about The Overwatch League’s Hangzhou Spark know how to brand themselves
