    Awesome. Looking forward to 10.1.

    Weapons

    • Changed maximum Rifle ammo capacity from 280 to 420

    AWESOME! Been looking so forward to this one!


    Gear
    Forge (named holster)

    • Shield health bonus increased from +10% to +50%


    Oooooh. I couldn’t bring myself to use this item before but now I might.


    Gear Sets
    Foundry Bulwark 3-piece gear set bonus

    • Armor regeneration lowered from +3% to +1%
    • Added +50% shield health


    Interesting. Not sure either change was needed but I look forward to checking it out tonight after that goes live.

    Loot

    oh here we go ... the ONE thing that everyone I know was looking forward to for this patch ...


    • Increased minimum item power and chances for higher power items for several difficulties, resulting in higher average rolls overall
      • Slight increase on Challenge
      • Bigger increase on Heroic and Legendary

    As long as the loot stays the same on lower difficulties, I am excited about this change. Awesome.


    • Sealed Caches
      • Increased power of items from Field Proficiency and Dark Zone caches to be on par with Heroic tier loot (up from Challenge)

    This is hopefully only if the world is on that global difficulty, right? Hopefully.


    Moved general pool Exotics from mission final boss loot to mission completion rewards

    This means that an Exotic that drops as loot from a final boss in a mission will either be the Exotic specific to the mission (e.g. The Bighorn in Legendary missions) or an Exotic from the current targeted loot pool, but not a random different Exotic. These extra random Exotics can still be awarded with the same frequency but are acquired as an Exotic Cache from the mission completion rewards instead.
    Awesome

    There were more patch notes but wanted to give my feedback on the above. Thanks, Ubi.

    Could you please elaborate why do you want to have exploitable mechanic?

    He does not want an exploitable mechanic. He is saying he hopes that your fp cache from normal doesn't give out heroic loot. I think this is intended though, it will just be earned much slower in normal than heroic due to xp scaling for all activities. It also adds something some people have been asking for from launch. A progression path. Play at normal earn some heroic tier loot and move up to hard challenge etc as your gear improves. The higher you go the faster you earn items that help improve your builds, and eventually you can play at heroic and earn even more of that quality loot from every drop you receive

    Huh? Why?

    Exactly. Always giving out a heroic item makes the caches more meaningful for everyone, regardless of the difficulty their world happens to be on when they open it.

    Yeah that’s what I was getting at. In my opinion, if you want loot that’s scaled, you should play the scale to get it. Compared to other things in the game, though, it’s a very small thing either way. But I will be very happy to be playing heroic and get heroic level loot as I level my watch. I hated opening caches I got while playing heroic to get stuff barely worth even braking down for mats lol. But Maverick did make a good point about x2 being slower on normal. That’s easy for me to forget because I haven’t played on normal in a looooong time.

    Either way, for me the most exciting thing about this maintenance is finally getting rifle ammo back.

    I think its about time there was a chance the caches dropped something decent. they are basically shredder food for people that play on challenging and heroic now.

    Exactly. Any time I saw “Field proficiency catch”, my first thought was, “Oh, more crafting mats.” In fact, these caches were my main source of mats for crafting LOL

    I don't use a shield but I do use the Foundry Bulwark 3 piece gear set for the 3% armor regeneration. Not too happy that it's going to 1%

    Yeah on that one I am on the fence. I wanted to highlight that and complain as well, but with the shield health being boosted, I have to accept that I don’t know how it will turn out in the long run. After the servers come up I need to try my bulwark and see how it performs to be sure.
