- Take a flat 20 damage when crossing The Motherlode instead of 37 (50% of 75 hp) over time
- Wreckless: fixed explosive damage mitigation not being applied on continuous Knuckle Cluster hits (should only take about 32 damage from a full Knuckle Cluster now with Wreckless)
Newcastle
- Mobile Shield: throw anim speed increased (~2.5x faster)
- Castle Wall
- Will now destroy incoming projectiles headed towards the front of the wall while energized. It will not destroy projectiles fired from behind the wall nor bombardments from other Legend’s Ultimate projectiles.
- Castle Wall energized duration increased to 1m (was 30s)
- Upgrade - Stronghold: increased energized duration to 3m (was 2.5m)
Dev Note: The Castle Wall’s in-game strength rarely matches the grandeur of its presentation. More often than not, the wall serves as a grenade beacon to surrounding threats knowing that Newcastle just jumped to an ally in distress. An Ultimate-level wall should not fail as much as it does, especially on a Support Legend that’s built around turning the tide when his squad starts losing the advantage. The wall now requires more calculated counterplay and makes the Stronghold upgrade a more compelling option. We were also finding the long wind-up when tossing his Mobile Shield left him pretty vulnerable trying to get back to his weapon, so we’ve sped up the animation to let him be more reactive with it.
Octane
- Upgrades
- Wreckless: removed
- Mad Hops moved to Level 2
- Thick Skin: now Level 2 and 3, updated to take 5 less Stim damage to reflect that it can be selected twice (was -25%)

- Split Circuit: no longer reduces shield regen capacity
Wraith
- Into the Void and Dimensional Rift: nearby enemies will be highlighted for players traveling through the Void
