Dear Pilots,

We'd like to respond to your feedback regarding the two newest Mechs the Ord and the Jobs.

First, the jobs and its EMP Blast ability. This ability is intended to give your team an advantage in a team fight, but now it feels spam-able and quite frankly broken. An error in a push to our live database caused some of the values on the ability to be skewed from the original design. As such, the changes to the Jobs ability - effectively immediately on XB1 and PS4 - are as follows:

BlastDuration 3 seconds (down from 5)
Regeneration Time 35 seconds (up from 5)

Regarding the Ord Mech, we've heard your feedback regarding its firepower. The intention of the Ord is to reward players who are able to effectively manage their heat and land shots. However with the heat per shot being what it was, it was very difficult to effectively manage a high enough level of heat to make use of the passive ability. We've reduced the amount of heat per shot to allow you to spend more time at high heat, and we also reduced the re-fire rate on the Magnum pistols to give them a bit more burst.

RefireRate .8 seconds (down from 1)
HeatPerShot 6 down from (8.325)

As always, continue to provide us with feedback, so that together we can continue to shape Hawken together.
Happy Friday - Hawken Devs

Where i like the buffs on the ord the jobs needs more work in my opinion for example players being rewarded for well timed stuns

The ord could be helped if you gave it a low magnification scope
