Changes to Camera shake from explosives. ### 🛡 Armor and Elemental Armor Changes - Elemental Armor will now mitigate damage recieved regardless of vulnerability. This change noticably improves the damage reduction provided by Elemental Armor. However, the overall damage reduction provided by Base Armor and Elemental Armor has been adjusted to make weapons feel more consistent. ### ⚔ PvP Win & Tie Conditions - When the match timer expires, victory will be awarded to the team with more surviving Heroes. If both teams have the same number of Heroes remaining the match will end in a Tie. ### ⚔ Stagger Reduction - Staggering a target applies a minor protection period. This prevents a character from being repeatedly staggered multiple times in quick succession. ### 💰 Store Improvements - **New Confirmation Button** for all Special Promotion Offers: _Worry not about accidental purchases with our new Confirmation Button!_ - 🔶 **Improved Purchase Button Experience:** _All purchases made with in-game currencies can be identified with orange colored buttons!_ - **New Confirmation Button** added when purchasing Store Restocks. - **Improved Crate Claim and Purchase Menu:** _We moved the Free Crate Claim button in the Crate Store Menu to reduce double-tapping and accidental Crate purchases!_ - **Improved the Free Crate experience and notifications:** it’s now easier to identify when a Free Crate is available and claim it! We’ve addressed that gripe where it took too many taps to claim your Free Crate. - 🤗 _Special thanks to our Community of Hunters for your feedback and patience! These improvements and changes wouldn’t be possible without your voices!_ ### 🗺 Hero Location Updates - ![Ifrit_Fragment_Raid](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/2X/6/6f6ccad83694337860b9a37509047c8bc980b199.png) **Ifrit** added to Co-op Raids - ![Maven_Fragment](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/2X/8/8b3bd0faf82ac53165e732f9ace956476e28f8a2.png) ![Flatline_Fragment](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/2X/f/f59268ea9353d8aa638503af7fa864e0c599d34c.jpg) **Maven** & **Flatline** added to Gauntlet Store * * * ## 🛡 ⚔ ➕ ROLE WARFARE: [Health and Healing](https://hhforum.superchargemobile.app/t/role-warfare-health-and-healing/4774) * * * > **Click here to expand the list** > > # 💗 Health Rebalance > > ### ⬆ Major Health Improvements > > ![Artemis](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/ce3240a301250ba4dcced37aa562ea50c3b16d32.jpg "Artemis") ![Castellan_a](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/08144cb3b954058c6c2c13e5acb07cb1535f44c4.jpg "Castellan") ![Sentry](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/41454e40fe8d36e1ae495780142f6fbc5b20fc0b.png "Sentry") ![Fischer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/de7982952976d3bccae22269f8cbf14cb377af95.png "Fischer") ![Bolt](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/0009642fb6d106e598965c26e5980edb73c9d3a3.jpg "Bolt") ![Beck](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/6ef86c5ee02df076e23f44a09fec06065f2beaf8.jpg "Beck") ![Nightengale_a](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/c293787c4c8764c98b9da6c89e64fe9b67963bb5.png "Nightengale") ![Heimlock](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/cb88144b84368e38fe83700b5a3192af0b5db4f0.png "Heimlock") ![Ghoul](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/627fa4bc62bff4d0c268c86fde5599b9824951d4.png "Ghoul") ![Phalanx](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/08c035334176d919447fffc1811cc4254d915b7f.png "Phalanx") ![Razorback](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/8d808e58220b1c134eecd29934d1d68bba0a9a69.png "Razorback") ![Cast](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/cc2658f3be89da3d7fc6a52a37c93a88e961e0c1.png "Cast") ![Scum](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/cb7da184001226440b6766c4a07a0e7cbda1ce29.jpg "Scum") ![Cross](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/9089ac158c5f5508b76c6b168f25bbbb0fb0e91b.png "Cross") ![Callidus](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/2X/f/f1518dbdbc40a17d804de29d30e40a9e2fed922b.jpg "Callidus") ![Elite Rifleman](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gunrise/original/1X/c9090f51a4f40b61d357c4a06e8e6b37f5d7fdf2.png "Elite Rifleman") > > > **Developer Note:** Changes to the calculation of Health has provided various improvements to many Heroes.

I have no problems using my healers, they are still doing a good job. Heimlock even became super hard to kill with his new HP pool. So far, loving the update on in all aspects. Great job! ---

Hi HHG, First of all, thank you for the updates. I would just have one request in regards to this forum post as this is the main area I come to for balance updates. As I read through the notes I can see improvements, reworks or decreases in stats, but I’d love to see a point of reference to get a better understanding of how this improvement affects the hero. Let’s take Hivemind in the notes as an example. I would love to know to which effect his modifiers have changed. A point of reference could either be: 1. stats before and after based on a 10 star plat max level Hivemind 2. percentages and visual numbers. I.e. “we dropped Hivemind’s hp by 10 %, before having 300k hp, now 270k at 10 star plat.” If such notes are visible already somewhere then I apologize in advance. If not, I would welcome a more statistical overview. ---

Although it is time consuming to play PVP now, I feel like I am really playing now, not just for farming gems. Nice update. Loving it. This also goes for a new hero. He does not guarantee win but nice to have him. ---

Thx HH for the very detailed patch notes this month loving all the hard work put into the game can’t wait to test all the heros out . Although I can’t agree with all the updates but 1 thing is for sure I won’t be missing those QW tickets lol 😉 Thx again great job HH ---

Thanks for the awsome update, PvP feels great again, haven’t played my C team or lower, but I liked how panzer isn’t the one shot killer anymore, but still a good hero left unattended. So far so good!! ---

Totally agree. More detailed patchnotes would be really appreciated. A “we dropped Gammond’s heal by 30% but upgraded the health buff by 25%” (made up the numbers) would be better, in my opinion. But I REALLY appreciate the PvP crates changes. We had a 40% to get tickets/exp, and now is just 6.5%. That, with higher chances to get gold and bucks made this patch worth the wait. ---
