    Thanks for this Maintenance :)

    PVP only:

    • Dodge City Gunslinger's Holster Quick Draw damage per stack bonus lowered from 1% to 0.1% in PvP.
    • Negotiator’s Dilemma now deals the correct amount of damage in PvP.
    • Eclipse Protocol’s Indirect Transmission talent will now transfer the correct amount of damage and duration when spreading multiple status effects.
    • First Blood Marksman Rifle talent now disabled.
      • Developer comment: We will revisit First Blood’s PvP behavior in the future, but for now we felt it necessary to disable it entirely when in the Dark Zone or a Conflict match.

    • Decreased pistol damage by 22%
    • Decreased rifle damaged by 30%
    • Decreased Classic M1A damage by 12.5%
    • Decreased marksman rifle damage by 30%
    • Decreased Nemesis damage by 11%
      • Developer comment: These changes should help make fighting against 1-shot builds less frustrating in PvP, and instead reward skilled marksmanship when landing headshots, and not just shots to the body.

    An excellent update overall for PvP. These changes were badly needed. Thanks, Devs.

    First blood just doesn't need to be in PvP. That should stay PvE only, so this was the right move to make.

    Really this doesn't seem like a balance patch at all. Skills are not even getting a look. This patch reminds me of something Redstorm would have done.

    The nerf to Sniper Rifles doesn’t make any sense when you consider the most powerful weapon in PvP (Lady Death) is absolutely rampant in both conflict and the DZ and very few people are using sniper rifles in general. Even fewer people were using the DodgeCity (I was using both).

    I don’t understand, of all the data that can possibly be extracted from the game, that the only conclusion they can come up with that needs changing is one shot builds considering the majority of the player base is using Intimidate/Adrenaline Rush/Lady Death/foam/4 blues 2 reds.

    Mantis or White death, I made that build because of the meta. Gave a group of
    less than 4 a chance at taking on a server full of lady death/foam/tank builds.
