2.0 patch notes

BALANCING
· Operator shouts are now muted for enemy team From now on, the enemy team will not be hearing your team’s automatic character shouts. This will allow for stealthier approaches while maintaining non-verbal communication within the respective teams.
· Defender objective rotation (for Ranked and Custom Games) In Ranked and Custom Games, Defenders can vote for the objective location they want to defend. We noticed that certain maps have objective locations that are considered easier to defend than others, and that those are frequently being chosen. We believe that it will make for a more competitive and interesting experience to force variety upon the Defenders. From now on, when on the defending side, if a team wins an objective location, they won’t be able to pick it again until they’ve won the remaining locations. If the match goes into overtime, all objective locations become available again.
· Reduced bullet trail intensity, especially for suppressed weapons Reduced the visibility of bullet trails for all weapons, with an additional reduction for suppressed weapons for a stealthier approach. We believe this tweak will make silenced weapons more useful, as the damage reduction trade-off will now be more worthwhile, on top off the sound reduction.
· Increased the flashbang range of effect We are roughly doubling the range of flashbangs, making them more effective.
· Reduced noise levels of multiple Defender gadgets
· Reduced the noise levels of Mute’s jammers. It will now be considerably lower for Defenders and we reduced the verticality of its sound (will not be heard from two floors up or down anymore).
· Reduced the electricity noise levels on electrified gadgets.
· Reduced the noises levels of the Kapkan trap.
· Reinforced walls and Castle barricades now block bullets while being deployed It used to be possible to get shot while deploying reinforced walls and Castle barricades, even if they seemed to be covering the players. From now on, there will be collision on those surfaces even during deployment and therefore the bullets will be stopped.
· Thatcher now has a shotgun available in his loadout options We added the English shotgun M590A1 to Thatcher’s loadout options.
· Removed Bandit’s unique gadget’s (CED-1) electricity damage on the hostage Removed electricity damage on the hostage. This will avoid some edge cases where it wasn’t clear who was responsible for the hostage’s death.
PLAYER COMFORT
· Added map and mode name display during loading and planning phase screens
· Reduced screen dust effect When surfaces break or explosions occur, nearby players get a dust effect on the border of their screen. We reduced it to be less intense and occluding.
· Altered matchmaking timer display Timer now counts up to estimated time.
· Fixed weapon damage numbers in menus We have changed the damage numbers in the menus according to the light armor values.
PLAYLIST CHANGES
· Individual spawn location selection for Attackers (Ranked, Custom Games setting) In Ranked (and as a Custom Game setting), each Attacker can now select their own spawning location instead of having to vote as a group. This will give more tactical flexibility on approaching the building and will also greatly reduce the amount of instances in which Attackers get picked off as a group by the Defenders right as the Action phase begins (team spawn killing).
· Ranked population repartition tweak Our data tracking shows that the upper ranks (Gold, Platinum, Diamond) are less populated than expected. Therefore, we have reworked how our players are distributed through ranks. This means that many players will see their ranks change instantly after the February 2nd update.
We will be closely monitoring how the rank repartition evolves over time and will be doing additional tweaks if needed. To learn more about the Ranked System.
· Ranked fluctuation parameters tweak From now on, players ranked Silver 3 and below will have a higher fluctuation rate compared to the ranks above that threshold. For example, Bronze 3 could contain players that have skill ratings between 15 and 16.5 while Gold 3 would have a larger spectrum, between 32.5 and 35. The intention behind this is that players from the lower ranks can climb out of them faster. This will make it more fun for newer or less experienced players, while the constant, highly skilled players will be able to maintain their rank.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
· Web feature: Tactical Board improvements
· Auto-save. The Tactical Board will now automatically save tactics in progress every 30 seconds. This will prevent you from losing your work if any disconnection or bug occurs while working on a tactic. It will also allow you to leave the Tactical Board without having to hit the Save button. Just make sure you noticed the “Autosaved” text popping on the top of the Tactical Board, to the right of the tactic name.
· Maintenance alerts. The Tactical Board will alert you of upcoming maintenances 15 minutes prior to downtime. Fixing the Tactical Board bugs requires us to switch off the servers for some minutes. When a maintenance is upcoming, you’ll see a warning on the bottom of the board. As we also have the autosaves ongoing, there will be less risks to lose your work, which will occur only if you edit the tactic 30 seconds or less before the maintenance starts.
· Texts are now easier to select and edit.
· Bug fixes.
· Fixed an issue preventing users to validate the removal of the tactician.
· Fixing an issue making undo/redo actions sometimes unresponsive until a change of tool was made.
· Inviting someone in the tactic will now correctly update the Attendees panel (top right).
· Fixing an issue preventing to dismiss a share notification from their dashboard when clicking "See it later".

Great Update notes Destroyer,the updates cover a lot of stuff that I was expecting to see fixed in game.
Only thing I didn't see on there is the bug with Kapkan's trip mine.One can see that the developers are solidifying the game with each update.

I think the bug hasn't yet because it is more recent. But we checked their twitter and they have noted it and are currently working on it.


As for the update I feel it is going to get a lot more competitive in games now. I like the reduced bullet trail and extra for silencers. Also the noise reduction on gadgets will be really nice.

I think my favorite thing is the individual spawn locations. Will make it really nice for mounting an attack and strategic play. Also poodle can't murder your whole team through a window when they figure out where you all spawn

I'm loving the update of the bullet trail on silenced weapons as this will play to my advantage in game.

You will very rarely see me running without a silencer in a game as my whole play style iv found is more tailored towards observation and stealth.I like to be quiet on approach so that enemy team players dont suspect a breach and then bomb breach as a team.

Gadget sounds are going to play hugely in favour of the operator Mute and many time due to the headset that I have I can be a floor below or above when searching with a drone in the prep phase and i already know where they are without having to work to hard to seek the objective out.
