Hello Citizens!
We are here with the second update of the week.

This is an update that aims to significantly improve your experience with Hell is Others.
During these first few weeks since the release we constantly monitored the game balance and, also thanks to your feedback, we are now ready for the first round of weapon rebalancing changes.
Additionally, we are adding some quality-of-life features.


We listened to the feedback from the content creators too.
We adjusted the current status effects for the twitch polls and implemented new debuffs.

You can find the detailed patch notes below!

Weapon Balancing

The biggest problem we had was a wide gap of damage output between wild bullets and modified bullets caused by the Rotation Speed Towards Target bonus that basically allowed to completely bypass the recoil of any weapon.
This resulted in players landing shots too consistently, making fights less skill-based and overly fast. To address this, we reduced the homing bullets' detection range so that it no longer interferes with the recoil and reduced the rotation speed cap too.
To further reduce the damage output difference, we also halved the critical chance cap and reduced the critical damage bonus to +25%.

Thanks to your feedback and our analytics, we then noticed a strong imbalance in weapon use, with ARs and fully automatic weapons in general being chosen over any other weapon type in most cases.
We proceeded therefore to slightly lower their offensive capabilities and improved those of the Shotguns, the least used weapon category in the game.

Another problem we felt needed to be addressed was Movement Speed. Players using pills and fungi were able to reach movement speeds so high it was too hard for others to escape when being chased.
To solve this, we reduced the movement speed cap to 20% and reduced the movement speed bonus from all weapons.

• Reduced homing bullets' detection range from 3 to 1.
  
• Reduced bullet rotation speed cap from 280 to 175.
  
• Reduced bullet critical chance cap from 50% to 25%.
  
• Reduced critical damage bonus from +100% to +25%.
  
• Reduced movement speed cap from 30% to 20%
