Fixes and Optimizations
Heroes
- Winter Soldier’s Cybernetic Calibration: Optimized the action response of Bucky’s Trooper’s Fist and Bionic Hook under high-latency network conditions. The White Wolf’s metal arm is now firing on all cylinders, no matter the connection.
- Gorr the God Butcher’s Shadow Precision: Added a Custom Targeting Sensitivity setting for Gorr’s Shadow Harvest ability, allowing players to adjust it to their preference. The Black Berserkers answer only to you, target with absolute precision.
Other
- Emoji Error: Fixed a UI bug in the Hero Profile where the detailed Emoji resource type was incorrectly labeled as Costume. We know fashion is important, but an Emoji is definitely not a suit!
