Patch History

3 changes
NERFConfiguration Reload

No longer fully refunds cooldown. Now reduces cooldown by 4 seconds.

BUFFArmored Artillery

Overhealth degeneration reduced from 100 to 50 per second.

NERFBastion

Minor Perk cost increased by 10%. Major Perk cost increased by 6%.

2026-01-08

1 change
NERFConfiguration: Recon

Damage reduced from 25 to 23.

Developer comment: Recent fire-rate improvements enhanced the feel of Bastion's primary fire but also increased his damage output more than desired. Reducing damage slightly offsets this while keeping the improved weapon flow intact.

2025-12-09

1 change
BUFFConfiguration: Recon

Fire rate increased from 5 to 6 shots per second.

Developer comment: Recon mode damage is often weak compared to other heroes, making Bastion overly dependent on Sentry mode. A higher fire rate helps smooth out the weapon's flow and increases his threat while in Recon mode.

BUFFBastion

Model and hit volume size reduced by 10%.

Developer comment: Bastion's survivability is impacted by the large size of his model despite his high health and armor pool. Reducing his model and hit volume size by 10% improves his ability to avoid damage and overall balance.
