Developer Comments: Mauga continues to have high durability and damage output. We're reverting the spread adjustment made to single-fire Chainguns while reducing the effectiveness of firing both weapons at longer ranges. Alongside his armor reduction, these changes will lower both survivability and lethality.
Combat Fuel – Major Perk
- Overhealth gained per shot increased from 3 to 4.
- Cooldown increased from 5 to 6 seconds. (5v5)
Increasing Overrun's cooldown lengthens the window where Mauga must commit to a fight before he can disengage, reducing his mobility without directly impacting his ability to engage.
- Cooldown reduced from 7 to 6 seconds.
- Maximum spread while firing individual Chainguns increased from 1 to 1.5.
- Number of shots until maximum spread increased from 0 to 30 shots.
Mauga could maintain high accuracy when firing a single Chaingun for extended periods. Adding dynamic spread to individual Chainguns encourages switching between weapons to manage spread. This change does not affect accuracy while firing both weapons simultaneously.
- Stomp damage now scales with height, up to a maximum of 250 damage.
- Lifesteal and damage reduction removed.
- No longer affects allies.
- Duration increased from 3s to 5s.
- Now grants Mauga 20% move speed for 3s when taking damage.
- Now converts every 1 damage taken to 1 healing resource.
- Stored healing resource persists until Cardiac Overdrive's cooldown completes.
- Reactivating Cardiac Overdrive converts stored healing resource to heal Mauga.
Mauga finally understood something: as a 2.2-meter-tall, half-ton Samoan beast of a man, it’s honestly way too “gentle” and way too team-spirited to be giving his teammates damage reduction and lifesteal on the battlefield. So he decided to be selfish all the way—his heart now only beats for himself. He takes the nastiest damage and builds up the thickest health. Mauga also now uses his size to stomp on and crush his enemies.
- Overrun can last forever.
- Using Overrun for too long lights Mauga on fire.
- While on fire from Overrun, colliding with enemies lights them on fire.
- Now makes Mauga's chainguns shoot blobs of lava, which explode and instantly ignite enemies.
Mauga is on fire! Everyone is on fire!
Kinetic Bandolier – Minor Perk
- Ammo generation now grants 150 ammo instantly instead of over time.
Cardiac Overdrive
- Cooldown reduced from 17 to 15 seconds.
