Inside the Vault: C.A.M.P and Combat Public Test Server - Update 7/25

Combat

Miscellaneous Combat Changes

• Fixed an issue where the Gamma Gun Deep Dish mod projectile didn't deal Radiation damage.

• Addressed some inconsistencies with how Pipe Syringer mods changed the weapon's range.

• Increased the speed of the Plasma Caster projectile by 30%

• Increased the speed of the Alien Disintegrator High-Powered Receiver projectile by 100%

• Re-implemented fix for Crossbow Prime Receiver range

• Fixed a missing damage increase for the Flamer (32 -> 42)

• Fixed an issue with Laser Splitter mods where they increased damage more than intended.

Hellstorm Missile Launcher Damage Increase

• Standard Payload: 206 Impact, 206 Explosion -> 379 Impact, 379 Explosion

• Cryo Payload: 206 Impact, 107 Cryo Explosion -> 379 Impact, 194 Cryo Explosion

• Napalm Payload: 206 Impact, 107 Fire Explosion, 25 Fire Damage per second for 7 seconds -> 379 Impact, 194 Fire Explosion, 25 Fire Damage per second for 7 seconds

• Plasma Payload: 206 Impact, 178 Energy Explosion -> 379 Impact, 330 Energy Explosion

Weapon Mod Range Updates

All weapons have increased base range (see below). The end result of this change is that there's slightly less contrast between Stub, Short, Medium, Long, and Sniper barrels. In particular, this helps Short and especially Stub barrels more easily compete with Long barrels. Not all range/barrel mods follow the Stub/Short/Medium/Long/Sniper naming convention, but most mods which adjust weapons' range will be adjusted similarly.

• Medium Barrel Range: +35% -> +25%

• Long Barrel Range: +75% -> +50%

• Sniper Barrel Range: +110% -> +75%

Item Locking

Two new toggles have been added to the Item Locking feature:

• Players can now choose whether locked items can be moved between their stash and inventory

Known Issue: Players may run into issues with the toggle that allows consumables to be used when locked. Next week's PTS update will address those issues.

Mischief Night

Mischief Night is back and will be running at the top hour during the PTS. Located at Rapidan Camp, we hope you enjoy this refreshed take on the fun and chaotic event.

Known Issue: Melee enemies around Appalachia may appear a little lost when attempting to path towards players. During Mischief Night this will be more apparent as The Lost will now look lost when trying to hit you.

Ping and Emote Mapping Swap

Thanks to community feedback we've decided to flip the Press (currently set to Ping in the live game) and Press and Hold (currently set to bring up the Emote wheel in the live game) command for Ping and Emote.

With this update, when playing with a controller, Ping can be activated by Pressing and Holding the Down D-Pad button. Emote is now set to Press on the Down D-Pad button.
