​10.2.2b Backend Patch     ​

Towards the end of October, we released a small balance patch using our new Backend Tunables system, adjusting The Executioner and The Good Guy. After working through your feedback and watching both of them in action, we’d like to further refine those changes. First, let’s get a quick recap of what the Backend Tunables system even is. Put simply, it’s a system that allows us to put small balance changes in your hands quicker, without having to wait for full patch releases. Currently, the system lets us make adjustments to many of our Killers (we’re adding support for more over time) and basekit values. While add-ons and perks aren’t currently supported, this is something we have planned for the future. Now, what’s changing today?  The Executioner: Increased the delay between each segment of Punishment of the Damned to 0.015s (was 0.001s) Dev note: The previous reduction to 0.001s made it a little too efficient, especially when paired with the Iridescent Seal of Metatron add-on. This is a great example of why we intend to add add-on support to Backend Tunables, because sometimes, basekit changes will end up synergizing more than we expected.  The Good Guy: Decreased the time to Scamper under Pallets (during Slice & Dice) to 0.8s (was 1s) Dev note: Some of you pointed out that Scamper under Pallets was not the same as Scamper on vaults. We’ve adjusted the duration to be the same for both.  As a reminder, this update does not require a download of any new content, however players will need to restart their game for the changes to take effect.
