Was FT shadow buffed…?

Legit question. Played three matches so far and either I’m facing PS deaths quads for the first time in months, or FT damage got buffed. I’ve never seen a Viking get shredded that fast by ONE person.

I think some veteran players may be coming out of the woodwork

Viking has big hit boxes, it’s easy to hit him if your accuracy is decent.

Wouldn’t suprise me.

Some people are reporting Aim Assist has been buffed for FT, unconfirmed tho ATM.

Well not just Viking, but Valkyrie too, now Cleo. And I’ve been winning match after match for over a month now, and I’ve never been shredded this bad in randoms. I won my last match with Cleo but barely.

I honestly wouldn’t doubt it after the games I’ve played just now. Something is off, it can’t just be pro players coming back.

Well Cleo has been buffed from 8.8 metres per second to 9.7 metres per second, so now she’s as fast as Hunter and has superior energy, health & perks compared to them so you shouldn’t have too much trouble once you adjust to this knowledge.

If FT got buffed, I can only imagine Isabelle’s dmg output now. 😂

That might explain some things, also maybe why they buffed the AI. The best strategy for Pred right now is to go to the camps and set off the alarms.

Oh the AI thing was a bug sadly. NPC damage has been returned to “normal”. Kinda liked how insane it was, made me actually think about NPCs as a thing in the match. For both Pred & FT. Seeing them do like 30% of my healthbar in a single shot as Pred made me go “Oh fuck” and then I got 6 shot as Dutch 87. Felt a little fear. Felt good, kept me on my toes.

I know, and she’s been my main since she released. But today she’s getting walloped like never before.

That’s strange because for me she’s been performing even better. I honestly might swap from Scout to Cleo as my full time main due to her Speed Buff.

oh noo! I was hoping the AI buff would be stay even in a reduced form.

She does perform good, doesn’t she? I just finished a match and she did very well with the increased speed. But there’s still something up with the damage intake. Gonna play some FT and see.

Edit: didn’t notice too much. I dunno, maybe I’m just fighting stronger people. The cloak bug is not helping either.

She feels practically perfect IMO. As she should, considering her lore.

I did two matches almost 5000 damage as Dutch Reckless. That’s definitely more than usual for me. Could have been flukes

Yeah no, people are now consistently getting around 3000-5000 Damage. Something is up. The Aim Assist buff may be real.

Maybe. I did feel more on target than usual too. I thought I was just in the zone

Oof. I’ll keep playing FT and see if I find a difference. I usually average 2/3k damage a match so that’s not new.
