Activities

Crucible

• Breakthrough
  • Decreased attacker respawn time from 7 seconds to 5 seconds after the Breaker is deployed
  • Modified the game rules to prevent teams from forcing the round into a stalemate:
    • In the initial fight over the Breaker, the team with the most capture progress (high-water mark) will win the Breaker if time runs out without any Breaker progress present. There will still be overtime if time runs out with progress present, and the Breaker will go to the team with current progress at the end of 30 seconds, or to the high-water mark if progress reaches zero with no players on the Breaker.
    • While a team is hacking the other team's Vault, progress decay accelerates gradually during Sudden Death for up to 30 seconds, after which the round will end the moment no attackers are present in the capture zone.
  • If the round ends in a draw twice, the match ends in a tie.
  • Neither team will get Glory points from this scenario.
  • Win Streaks are maintained.

Gambit

• Sleeper Simulant now gains less ammo from Heavy ammo crates on the wall in Gambit (now 2, down from 4)
  
• Swords now gain more ammo from Heavy ammo crates on the wall in Gambit (now 12, up from 6)
  
• Fixed an issue where sometimes one team's invasion portal would not open
  
• Fixed an issue where sometimes the wrong team would be credited for defeating the Ascendant Primeval
  
• Increased the spawn rate of the Ascendant Primeval Servitor
  
• The Gambit ship and Sparrow are no longer guaranteed drops
  
• Quitter protection
  • Fixed an issue where matchmaking would sometimes result in players being kicked from Gambit matches, thus triggering quitter penalties
  • Quitter penalties have been reenabled
  • Players will now receive two warnings before they are suspended from Gambit
  • Players will not be immediately suspended on the first match of the day if they quit a match the night before
  • Increased suspension time to 30 minutes
