Patch Notes v0-8-1742

Battleframes and Combat

 * Players that die in the air will now react to the direction the damage came from, leading to better looking death animations.
 * Engineers should now have flashlight functionality that matches the other Battleframes.

Tigerclaw

 * An internal cooldown to the Hunter Perk has been added to prevent rapid damage stacking with fully automatic weapons.

Accord Engineer

 * Changed the reticle for the Anti-Personnel Turret HKM to use the AA Turret reticle as it should be more accurate for its effect.

Bastion

 * Increased the constraint cost of crafted Multi-Turret's ability to deploy more turrets.
 * The craftable maximum of Multi-Turret has been reduced from 9 to 6.

Electron

 * Bulwark has been reworked. It now erupts from the Electron, shielding the Electron and allies within 6 meters.
 * Bulwark's shield has been increased from 400 to 500 (base).
 * Overclocking Station has been reworked. It now spawns a deployable that zaps nearby allies, giving them a boost of energy, energy regen and bonus damage (+10% base) for a duration.

Nighthawk

 * The damage of the Nighthawk's Sniper Rifle from 520 to 660 (base damage).
 * The Nighthawk's passive ability, Ambush, has been reworked. When Ambush is active, the Nighthawk will receive bonus damage and use no ammunition while firing. Ambush deactivates if the Nighthawk misses a shot, lands a body shot, or is put into SIN, and it will be put on its internal cooldown. Landing repeated headshots will activate and perpetuate Ambush until the Nighthawk misses a shot, lands a body shot, or is put into SIN.
 * Execute Shot has been renamed to "Execution" and has been reworked. It now provides the Nighthawk with a rate of fire bonus for its duration.
 * Eruption Rounds has been modified to use the damage of the equipped primary weapon instead of its own damage. Eruption Rounds also now works with the R36 and scales accordingly.
 * Remote Explosive now leaves a patch of fire on the ground when detonated. The patch of fire lasts for 5 seconds and deals 10% of the initial blast's damage per second.

Open World

 * Stage I and II areas (New Eden and Diamondhead) will now use a resource pool quality range of 1-300.
 * Stage III and IV areas (Antarctica and Sargasso Sea) will now use a resource pool quality range of 200-999.
 * The number of active nodes in Antarctica have been increased.
 * The probabilities of getting specific resource types per zone has been changed so that all resources are more evenly represented (for example, Antarctica previously leaned more towards spawning metals, but should now evenly distribute the chance of spawning any resource type).
 * Improved the behaviors for Rageclaw and Explosive Aranha, they should now be more responsive.
 * Wounded Tanken has been renamed to Wounded Bandit.
 * Tutorial tips are now displayed to help players progress through the Wounded Bandit encounter.
 * If a trap is sprung during the Wounded Bandit encounter and Big Brother ambushes the player, the Wounded Bandit will now stay invulnerable until the Stolen Crate is revealed to avoid griefing.

Campaign

 * Killing Junk Yard Dogs no longer yield experience.

Instances

 * Cliff's Edge rewards have been reduced by 25%. This was done because the amount of rewards for the time spent was higher than intended.

Items

 * LGVs have received an overall tuning pass. Steering should now be a little more responsive at high speeds, and they should have better uphill performance.
 * Reduced the LGV collision damage scalar and increased the speed threshold that checks for collision damage. Lower speed collisions should not damage the LGV as a result.
 * After selecting items for repair, a confirmation window will appear showing the costs, asking the player to confirm their repairs.
 * If a player does not have enough Crystite for a certain repair level, the total cost will turn red and disable the "Repair" button.

Kisuton Tokens

 * Added Silver and Gold Kisuton Tokens. These tokens can be used for a chance at one of the following items:
 * Baseball Hat
 * Recharging Flare
 * Recharging LGV Race
 * Antennae
 * Wreath
 * Recharging Medium Health Pack
 * KisuTech Horn
 * Brewmaster Headgear
 * KisuComm Unit
 * KisuTech Helm
 * Recharging Battleframe Garage
 * KisuBreather

 * In the Molecular printer, going back to the main recipe after all the resources are loaded into the recipe should feel cleaner.
 * The current recipe you are working on in the Molecular Printer should no longer reset unless you view a different recipe or leave the Molecular Printer.
 * The 3D model of the item on the recipe men has been shifted to the right.
