    • Changed:
      • Reduced RC cost from 10 to 8
      • Removed self mark on death on airblast jump
      • Reduced move speed penalty from -45% to -50% slower

      • Must be jumping to trigger airblast jump
        • This allows you to extinguish teammates and not yeet yourself when you don't want to
      • Airblast Jumping drains 98 health over a 4 seconds
        • This is applied as an attribute that drains, so spamming airblast will not make it drain any faster. Every time you use airblast you reset the drain timer

    • Changed:
      • Charging super shot no longer slows your movespeed

  • Pyros

    • Added: new description tags

        • +40% faster firing speed
    • This rework aims to make WAMO a faster, yet more squishy pyro glass cannon, with potential to clear big chunks of humans in a short timespan, but his low health and high knockback vuln should make it possible to create counterplays to avoid him getting in

  • Rocketman

    • Flaregun:
      • Changed:
        • Increased reload rate bonus from +25% to +50%

  • Agro

    • Degreaser:

Humans

  • Demoman

    • Primary, Secondaries
      • Changed:
        • Reduced reload bonus from +30% to +20% faster
        • Reduced damage divider on HP damage from 110 to 250
          • Example:
            • 110 Divider:
              • 5000HP target
                • Bonus damage (5000 / 110) = 45
                • Base = 104
                • Total = 149
            • 250 Divider:
              • 5000HP target
                • Bonus damage (5000 / 250) = 20
                • Base = 104
                • Total = 124
          • This reduces the insane stackable damage potential this has, still while offering some higher DPS value needed due to how Demoman works in this mode

  • Engineer, Scout

    • Pistol
      • Changed:
        • Reduced damage bonus vs targets below 30% HP from +35% to +15%
          • With how much damage buffs debuffs humans can apply, the 35% made robots melt way to easily, with this increase it will work a little better as finisher than a 30% HP shredder

  • Engineer

    • Gunslinger:
      • Removed:
        • +700% faster sentry deploy speed
      • Added:
        • +25% faster global weapon switch speed
    • Shotgun:
      • Fixed:
        • Not getting the mini crit vs jumping robots attributes correctly
