MW5 Patch Notes – December 14, 2021

NEW MAP: HELLBORE OUTPOST
Hellbore Outpost is a new Quick Play map, based on the biome from the Faction Play map Hellbore Springs. Outpost was designed from the ground-up by Francois, and represents the first completely new map to MWO in years.

WEAPON ADJUSTMENT
As a continuation of our assessment of weapon performance, the following change has been made:
Clan ER Large Laser:
  • Heat increased to 10 (from 9.5)
 
 
EQUIPMENT ADJUSTMENT
This patch includes a small boost to the dissipation performance of single heat sinks. The aim for this change is to make single heat sinks into valid options for number of mechs and build configurations.
 
Single Heat Sink:
  • Dissipation increased to -0.15 heat per second (from -0.14)
  • Heat capacity increased to 0.85 per external single heat sink (from 0.75) *
Note: the initial 10 single heatsinks on a mech provide 2.25 capacity (including both external and engine)
