Greetings pilots!

We've made a few small balance changes to the XT Vulcan weapon on the G2 Assault mech. We agree that the mech needed to be a bit stronger so we decided to tweak the XT Vulcan slightly to increase the mech's viability.

XT Vulcan
  • Increased damage from 13.5 to 15.5
  • Decreased heat per shot from 1.2 to 1.1
  • Reduced spread by 10%
These changes are currently live and did not require a patch or server downtime.

Pour yourself a drink, I'll sing you a song.

Excellent! This is a good start fixing the mess of a mech.

Well done ADH! You deserve a cookie!
I`ll fix it later.

Oh, that's great!  I hope more changes are about to come!  Like Incin's PPA.

155 dps total, and less spread/heat.  While not perfect, this mech is now at least viable.  Great hotfix!

Could increase the DPS by 1-3 more and we would get a beast for CQC-Suppression.
I`ll fix it later.

I am happy to see a buff on this mech, kudos devs! Show some love guys, stop whining for tweaks. If I were a dev, I'd be annoyed as hell by now lol. We need to support them, not badger them

Yup, but it is still going to be super easy to outplay
