  Mastiff

  The Mastiff is back on the floor with an extra shell and a reload you can cancel by aiming, but its pellets do less damage, spread wider and grow less.

  • Mastiff returns to the floor
  • Ammo capacity 4 → 5
  • Widened blast pattern
  • Damage per pellet 14 → 11
  • Projectile growth reduced
  • Reload can now be canceled with ADS

  TipOne extra shell and wider spread help consistency but per-pellet damage dropped; adjust positioning to guarantee optimal pellet spread.

  Rampage LMG

  The Rampage no longer loses its charge over time, and it starts charged the first time you pick it up from the supply drop.

  Removed heat decay over time

  • Begins charged on first-time pickup from the supply drop
  • Removed heat decay over time

  TipThe charge comes on the first pickup only, so dropping it and picking it up again later will not hand you a fresh one. Whatever charge you hold keeps, so a long rotation costs you none of it.

  RE-45

  The RE-45 moves into the crate with more damage and Disruptor Rounds that hit shields harder.

  • RE-45 enters the crate with Disruptor Rounds
  • Damage 12 → 14
  • Disruptor Rounds increase damage against shields by 30%

  TipRE-45 is more effective at range and against shielded opponents; prioritize early-game fights where the burst damage matters.

  Triple Take

  The Triple Take fires faster and its choke charges up quicker.

  • Rate of fire 1.2 → 1.35
  • Choke charge time 1.1 → 0.75

  TipFaster firing and quicker choke activation reward aggressive play; engage enemies more frequently without waiting for full charge.

  Volt SMG

  Volt SMG bullets travel slower and drop more, so hitting targets at range is harder.

  • Reduced projectile speed
  • Increased projectile gravity

  CHANGEBalance Updates

  All Battle Royale Maps

  On every Battle Royale map the first ring waits longer before it starts to shrink, giving more time early in the match.

  Ring 1 Preshrink Time 60 seconds → 90 seconds

  TipUse the extra 30 seconds to loot safely and rotate before the first ring; early positioning from hot drops is less punished.

  Hammerpoint Rounds [Mozambique, P2020, RE-45]

  Hammerpoint Rounds for the Mozambique, P2020 and RE-45 can no longer be found on the floor or crafted.

  Removed from floor loot and crafting bundles

  TipThe ceiling on those guns is now whatever they do without this hop-up, so plan to trade up out of one instead of keeping it as your second weapon into the mid game.

  Kinetic Feeder [Peacekeeper, TripleTake]

  The Kinetic Feeder hop-up for the Peacekeeper and Triple Take can no longer be found on the floor or crafted.

  Removed from floor loot and crafting bundles

  TipWeigh the gun you find against whatever else is on the floor rather than against what this hop-up could have turned it into.

  L-Star

  The L-Star kicks less at the start of a spray, and its stow animations now match their timings better.

  • Reduced recoil at the beginning of the pattern
  • Stow animations adjusted to better match timings

  Peacekeeper

  Peacekeeper shots grow less in size, and the gun moves into the crafter.

  R99

  The R-99's blue and purple magazines each hold one more round.

  • Blue magazine size 24 → 25
  • Purple magazine size 27 → 28

  TipBoth tiers gained the same single round, so the blue-to-purple gap has not moved and neither should your loot priority. It reads as one more shot at the end of a spray, not a longer burst.

  Turbocharger [Devotion, HAVOC]

  The Devotion and Havoc deal slightly less damage when the Turbocharger is equipped.

  Damage reduced by 1 when equipped
