BWR - Changelog 24/02/24

Voice Command
- Removed "Sniper Ahead" decal above players
Decal was seen as superfluous by players.

Afterburn
~ Fixed bug where afterburn persitting after death
Syringe Gun
~ Fixed missing flinching on hit
Improving some inconsistent behavior.

Back Scatter
+ Increased reload on kill to +2 from reserve
~ Your clip can roll over your clip limit to 8 max
Improving the reward to better help the weapon allow Scout to continue a streak in exchange for his limited range and base clip.

Phlogistinator
+ Added 3 second speed boost after MMMPH taunt
~ Removed uber effects persisting if MMMPH taunt is cancelled early
Without the bonus damage it was seen as needing some additional bonus. A speed boost to help close the gap was added to help close the gap without airblast jumps and get the most of your minicrits.

Pain Train
+ Changed: Speed boost provided for killing any enemy on a capture point (regardless of actual in-game defense event)
- Changed: Max Health penalty replaced with 10% damage vulnerability on wearer
This change should make gaining the boost against enemies on the objective more frequent, with the damage vulnerability making the health loss more consistent between Soldier and Demo.

Vaccinator
- Medic is not granted healing from his own Uber bubbles
On top of his existing regen and the resistance bubbles, the added healing from the uber was too intense. This should make Medic easier to pick off when isolated with the vaccinator.

Machina
+ Removed slower charge speed
- Removed charged damage bonus
Current build was seen as just not enjoyable, it it's been reverted while a different upside is being considered.

Brass Beast
- Changed damage resistance while revved to only work if damage taken would leave you under 90% HP
- Added: -1 to capture rate
The resistance change will make the heavy less tanky when stacked with overheal, only factoring in past that buff. The capture rate buff is also meant to cement the weapon as a more defensive weapon, being incapable of pushing a cart oneself and not contributing on a control point.

Loch-n-Load
+ Added +15% damage to players
- Removed mini-crits against players launched airborne
Current edition was seen as needed an additional boost. This slight damage buff will make picking off healthier targets buffed with overheal or with certain resistances slightly faster, while the airborne countering buff was not very useful aside from punishing jumpers.
