759 commentsGreetings MechWarriors,
This post compiles all of the Quirk Changes that will be coming in with the May 19th
patch.
The Quirk pass for this patch is geared toward encouraging
better loadout diversity for a few energy-focused 'Mechs which have been burning
through the battlegrounds lately. You'll also notice some slight adjustments to
the current SCR-B Right Arm OmniPod Quirks to help make that Variant a little
more attractive.
'Negative' Quirk values are marked as red.
'Positive' Quirk values are marked as green.
Negative Quirks are
defined as: any Quirks that reduce the efficacy of a particular Quirk or
'Mech ability, compared to its previous value.
Note: A technically negative Quirk may appear as green in this list if it has been improved compared to its previous value.
Positive Quirks are
defined as: any Quirks that improve the efficacy of a particular Quirk
or 'Mech ability, compared to its previous value.
Note: A technically positive Quirk may appear as red in this list if it has been diminished compared to the previous value.
Quirk Term Definitions:
Range: The range of the listed weapon
-
This one is pretty straightforward. A negative
percentage means a reduction in range. A positive percentage means an increase
in range.
Duration: The duration of time over which an energy weapon will fire
-
The Duration of an energy weapon is equal to the
time it takes that weapon to deliver its maximum damage potential.
-
A shorter duration means that the weapon will
deliver its maximum damage potential over a shorter amount of time.
-
Energy Weapons are the only Weapons with Duration.
-
When the value of this is negative, it means
that the Duration of time required for this weapon to achieve its maximum
damage potential has been reduced.
-
As an example, a weapon that has a Duration
Quirk of -30% will be able to deliver its maximum damage potential much faster
than a weapon that has a Duration Quirk of only -10%.
Cooldown: The time it takes a weapon to cool down after being fired
-
It’s easier to interpret this Quirk as “Cooldown
Efficiency”, rather than just “Cooldown”.
-
The lower this value is, the longer it will take
for your weapon to cool down after being fired.
-
As an example, a Cooldown Quirk being changed
from +10% to +7.5% would mean that the weapon is now less efficient at cooling
itself down. It will take a longer period of time for this weapon to be ready
for firing again.
-
In cases where a weapon generates a large amount
of heat, reducing the cool down period of that weapon may not necessarily be
ideal. Being able to fire that weapon more frequently could greatly increase
the risk of overheating.
Heat Generation: The amount of heat generated by this weapon
-
When the value of this is negative, it means
that the Heat Generation of this weapon has been reduced.
-
As an example, a Quirk being changed from -10%
Heat Generation to -5% Heat Generation would mean that the weapon now generates
a greater amount of heat when fired.
