Rogue Company Update 2.10 Out Tomorrow

Weapon Mastery Expanded

We’ve had challenges and unlocks for our secondaries and melee’s since the initial release of the weapon mastery system, everything but the ultimate reward of unlocking the weapons to be used on other Rogues. It’s time. Now fully mastered melee weapons and pistols can be swapped between rogues. We have also retrofitted a bunch of our newer melee weapons onto characters that we think are good fits for them, making them a bit more accessible to be mastered for those who may not own all of the newer rogues. See under Game Balance for more details on these changes.

GAME BALANCE

Rogues

Scorch

With the introduction of the Volatile and Energized increasing both the potency and frequency of overheat, we think a slight cooldown nerf is in order.

Increased Overheat’s cooldown from 45 to 60 seconds.

Trench

Base Melee weapon changed to Claymore

Dallas

Base Melee weapon changed to Combat Knife

Lancer

• Smoke Grenade changed to Pop Smoke grenade
• Base Melee weapon changed to Katana

Dima

Base Melee weapon changed to Baseball Bat

Anvil

A while ago, we changed to allow for two Barricades to be deployed simultaneously. We also wanted the ability to store two charges as well since that’s how other multi-charge deployables function. We could not make this change because of the “Break Glass” functionality of the Barricade. We think it’s more worthwhile to be able to store two charges of Barricade and have them both ready to go at a moments notice, so we have removed the “Break Glass” functionality from the ability button. You can still break the glass if you want to by shooting the small yellow canisters inside the shield! We think this is a net buff to Barricade, so we are raising the cooldown slightly to compensate.

• Removed the ability to break the glass by pressing the ability button again. Instead, you can now only break the glass by shooting the yellow canister.
• Ability Cooldown is now 40 seconds (Max 2 charges)
• Ability can now store two charges, similar to Trench’s Barbed Wire and Vy’s Poison.
• Base Melee weapon changed to Sledgehammer.

Dahlia

• Base Melee weapon changed to Combat Knife
• The cooldown for reviving your linked target was recharging too fast and show now be recharging at the proper rate of 60 seconds.

Fixer

Base Melee weapon changed to Throwing Axe

Runway

Base Melee weapon changed to Khukri

Gadgets

Targeting Through Smoke

We are addressing an unintended exploit brought about by the complexities of our VFX within Unreal Engine.

• Can no longer use gadget AoE targeter to see player outlines through smoke.

Perks

Gadgeteer

We wanted to err on the side of caution with the initial release of the gadgeteer perk, lest the perk be too strong and send us back to more gadget-heavy gameplay. Unfortunately, the perk has proven to be ineffective for the cost, so we are increasing its effectiveness and increasing the price of each tier slightly.

• Now provides 10%/20%/30% cooldown reduction at Rare/Epic/Legendary.
• Cost increased to $6000/$9000/$12000

Weapons

LR15 & Tyr

We have reintroduced flinch to our snipers. Flinch makes your crosshair bounce to simulate your character “flinching” as they take damage from other sources. The goal here is to make snipers easier to punish when they’re fighting within the effective range of AR’s & SMG’s.

Now have Flinch

Game Modes

King of the Hill (KOTH)

KOTH has been changed back to multiple rounds.
