Rapid Reload – Minor Perk

  • Removed.

Survival Instinct – Minor Perk

  • New.
  • Evade's overhealth duration is increased by 1 second.

Developer Comments: Rapid Reload has underperformed as a minor perk and is being replaced with Survival Instinct, providing a more reliable survivability option for aggressive playstyles by extending Evade's overhealth duration.

Joyride
  • Ground launch detection radius reduced from 1.5 to 1 meter.

This change better aligns the impact radius with the size of the motorbike, requiring players to either be more accurate with the ground launch or rely on the air launch.

Execution
  • Recovery time reduced from 0.4 to 0.3 seconds.
Joyride
  • Impact damage while riding reduced from 60 to 30.

Reducing Execution's recovery time better aligns the downtime after using the ability with when Shion can fire again. Joyride's impact damage is also being reduced to lower the effectiveness of continuously ramming targets and the combo potential of immediately detonating the bike after impact.
