Summary
Skopós Rework
Skopós has been redesigned into a high-mobility, low-health operator. Her speed has been increased to 3 while her health drops to 1. To support a more dynamic playstyle, her shell transfer and activation times have been reduced, and her swap cooldown has been slashed from 3 seconds to 0.5 seconds. Additionally, she now possesses Aruni's signature punch for improved soft destruction.
Weapon & Loadout Updates
The F2 assault rifle, used by Twitch and Solid Snake, now supports Vertical, Angled, and Horizontal grips to improve handling. Flores also receives a new primary weapon option with the addition of the T-95 LSW.
Gameplay & Gadget Refinements
Ballistic Shield operators can no longer break through full-HP barricades by simply pushing, requiring more deliberate entry. Various gadgets received duration buffs, including Ela's Grzmot Mines and Ying's Candelas, while the Observation Blocker's deployment time was significantly reduced to 1 second.
