WARDOGS Fixed CWIS Before Pulling IR Rangefinders From the Vendor

CWIS now destroys a Havoc in around 6 seconds rather than 12, and IR Rangefinders will require batteries when they return in Season 2.

BULKHEAD has already corrected CWIS, which now destroys a Havoc in around 6 seconds instead of 12. The studio said its previous patch overcorrected the system, and it hotfixed the issue this morning.

The IR Rangefinders change is still ahead. BULKHEAD plans to disable them in the vendor as regional servers restart over the next 12 hours. They will remain unavailable there until Season 02, when batteries will be required to use them.

A separate security and stability hotfix had been scheduled for October 2 with about an hour of downtime expected. BULKHEAD’s Steam announcement says these balance changes require no new client download or server downtime.
