  • Dev Note: The Canister needed its range and damage brought in, and moving to the HMG resistance type removes an extra resist type from the game and enables it to damage heavy armor. The pellet spread changes ensure the effective range is brought in. Lowering the damage caused a dilemma, without adjusting the other attributes of the weapon; it needed to lose its one hit kill potential or needed its RPM reduced. We did both: RPM change on the Vanguard and lower damage on the Harasser. Being a fast, close range and aggressive platform, the Harasser variant keeps its faster fire rate, while the slower Vanguard can take more time to line up its shots.
• March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
  • The reload speed certification lines for top guns, air vehicle non-nosegun (and non-bellygun) weapons have been standardized at 10/14/17/19/20% reload speed.
