WEAPON UPDATES

Weapon on Ascenders/ Ziplines (Ropes)

Riot Games announced adjustments to weapons' spread on ropes across most weapons to balance weapons' accuracies on ascenders and ziplines.

• Ascender Min Spread on Ropes increased to 65% of the walking spread.
• Rifles from .8 >>> 1.3
• Classic from .35 >>> .55
• Frenzy from .35 >>> .52
• Ghost from .35 >>> .6
• Sheriff from .35 >>> .78
• SMGs from .3 >>> .65

SHORTY

One of the most used sidearms in all of VCTs, it was about time that Riot Games addressed the issues with this gun.

• Reserve ammo will be changed from 10 to 6.
• Increased price by 150.
• Damage at no Fall-Off changed from 12 to 11.
• Damage at first step Fall-Off changed from 8 to 6.

FRENZY

In addition to the SHORTY nerf, FRENZY has been affected as well, adjusting some of its parameters.

• Min spread increased from .45 to .65
• Spread Curve adjusted
• Maximum Spread reached in 5 bullets instead of 6
• Recoil Pitch Curve adjusted
• Maximum recoil will be reached in 5 bullets instead of 6

ERROR POWER

Made adjustments to reduce Center Biasing while in all movement states besides walking or standing still. And as a result of that change, guns will be less accurate when fired while moving, as weapons' shots will have a higher chance to be further from the center of the crosshair.
