Unlimited Balance Changes

On 2024-12-30, a balance-related hotfix was issued to address more immediate issues with the 2024-12-29 balance patch. These changes are already reflected in the 2024-12-29 patch notes, and they include the following:

• Smash Rifle's Melee Attack received a moderate increase in its BLOW force (but it is still inferior to that of the Plasma Sword Heavy Attack).
• Hand Gun's increase in its PUSH force was reverted, and it received an extremely minor damage reduction.
• Plasma Sword and Counter Sword's damage values were further increased to match their old damage values even more closely.

Submachine Gun
• Ending accuracy is now capped at HALF of the starting accuracy.
• Spray pattern now reaches ending accuracy sooner, at the 24th bullet fired, instead of the 28th bullet.

The Submachine Gun's accuracy turned out to be far more generous than what we anticipated. This was due to the increase in its ending accuracy, which also made this weapon lose accuracy moderately slower than before while firing it. Thus, we are issuing corrections that give it more noticeable accuracy loss as you fire it, while capping its ending accuracy to ensure that it doesn't become completely unreliable after long periods of fire.

Revolver
• Minor accuracy reduction.

Burst Shotgun
• Minor accuracy reduction.

Hand Gun
• Minor accuracy reduction.

Similarly with the Gun category, it was never the intent to make these weapons feel significantly more accurate than they used to be, even with their now-centered spray patterns. Thus, we are issuing corrections that require you to be closer to your enemy for impactful, fully accurate shots.
