Summary

Operator Overhauls

The Y11S3 Designer's Notes focus on increasing the risk-reward profile for high-presence operators. Dokkaebi sees the most significant logic changes; her Jegeo Payload now requires her to maintain a connection to the target, during which she remains detectable by electronic scanners like Solis.

Kali receives a major usability pass for the CSRX 300, featuring faster bolt-action cycling and increased ammo, though at the cost of higher recoil and hip-fire spread. Her scope magnifications have also been lowered to be more practical in standard engagement ranges.

Weapon & Gadget Balancing

Secondary SMGs and DMRs are being reined in. The SMG-12 damage has been nearly halved to emphasize precision over spray, and the AR-15.50 and MK14 EBR have both received damage nerfs and increased first-shot recoil. Additionally, the Muzzle Brake has been removed from Aruni and Tubarão to make their DMRs harder to control during rapid fire.

Refinement Updates

Several quality-of-life buffs have been implemented, including a faster warning for Lion's scan, increased damage for Kapkan's traps and Claymores, and a faster refill rate for Echo's Sonic Bursts.
