The Cycle Patch 1.2.0 Notes – June 22, 2022

FORTUNA PASS

Our Fortuna Pass works like any other battle pass you may have seen in other games. It will run for a whole season, and you will be able to unlock items for free in the pass.

The pass will also have a paid version, for 950 Aurum you will unlock the paid part of the pass. This includes XP boosters for the pass, new Prospector skins, melee weapons, emotes, banners, charms, and more.

Additionally, you will be able to find things like Weapon Supply crates, resources, Aurum, and Salvage Tokens in the free track of the pass.

With that out of the way, let us dive into the changes and fixes from Patch 1.2.0!

CHANGES

• The creature spawn for the Dead Scientist mission was adjusted – there will be at least 5 creatures that are always spawning.
• We adjusted some of the loot and enemy respawn timers.
• We did another tuning pass for our matchmaking buckets.
• You can now craft Altered Nickel. 5 common Nickel are required for that.
• B9 Trenchgun, Rusty B9 Trenchgun, and Shattergun got adjustments to their spread.
• Hipfire Spread increased from 3.5 to 5.5.
• ADS Spread increased from 3 to 5.
• Rusty AR-55 damage reduced from 13 to 12.
• AR-55 damage reduced from 13 to 12
• Manticore damage reduced from 13 to 12

Note from the design team: We really appreciate the feedback we’ve gotten so far and keep getting when it comes to balancing. Keep it coming! We see it as a dialogue with the community to get this right over time, and as the season progresses. With that in mind, when it comes to balancing late-game gear, we’re still watching data and feedback to see how things develop over time, as players get their hands on more late-game stuff. It’s still early, and the ecosystem is still changing rapidly. Expect updates during the season!
