We released a new patch for the PTS earlier today, which included several improvements and bug fixes. Here are some of the highlights from that update.
Design Updates
Legendary Perks
- Based on community feedback that Legendary Perk upgrade prices felt too high, we’ve reduced the number of Perk Coins required for each rank:
- Rank 2 reduced from 100 to 50 Perk Coins
- Rank 3 reduced from 150 to 100 Perk Coins
- Rank 4 reduced from 250 to 150 Perk Coins
General
- Fast Travel: It is now free to Fast Travel to Foundation and Crater.
- This was the case when this PTS phase began, but wasn’t noted originally.
Items
- Alien Blaster: Damage increased by 30%.
- Shishkebab: Now deals Fire damage instead of Energy damage.
