Rail Spike Impaler
Developer Clarification: Impaler headshot damage was not universally increased in Update 2. The approach we took generally favored decreasing Impaler body shot damage in instances where scoring all headshots did not result in a meaningful difference in the total number of shots required to daze or kill a demon. We did increase headshot scaling in a few instances (E.G. Cyberdemon and Whiplash) where reducing body shot damage would have resulted in a longer-than-desired time-to-kill
Balance adjustments including:
Reduced Impaler damage vs. Cyberdemon
Reduced headshot scaling of empowered Impaler projectiles (via Salvage and Chronospike upgrades) vs. Whiplash
Reduced headshot scaling of non-empowered Impaler projectiles vs. Revenant
Super Shotgun
Balance adjustments including:
Increased Super Shotgun damage vs. Hell Knight and Battle Knight
Increased Super Shotgun damage vs. Cosmic Baron
Reverted the damage adjustments against Mancubus and its armor applied in Update 2
Increased Super Shotgun damage vs. Pinky Rider and Armored Pinky Rider
Increased base Super Shotgun (without upgrades) damage vs. Vagary armor
