Patch History
Update 38.0 (2024-12-13)
- Fixed shotgun (Sweeper) Sentinel Weapons VFX being misaligned on the Ordis Sentinel Skin.
Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)
- Rebalance of Sentinel weapons
The Origin system never stops developing the most exotic and destructive weapons known to Tenno-kind, and the weapons mounted to our Sentinels are no exception. The gap between the top and the bottom has gotten wider than we would like to see, so please enjoy these changes bringing up some of the weaker weapons. Not all weapons will focus on damage, some will get new utility features instead.
- Sweeper
- Previously: Sentinel shotgun with short effective range. (Damage 7x6, Status 2.33%, Fire Rate 1, Magazine 10/Reload 2.3, Critical 5%/1.5x)
- Now: Behavior unchanged but stats increased. (Damage 35x6, Status 4.5%, Fire Rate 1, Magazine 10/Reload 2.3, Critical 10%/1.8x)
Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)
- Greater than 100% Status having meaning
Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.
Shotguns as a special case means we have buffed the Status Chance of all Shotguns by x3 or greater. The UI now behaves to show the reality that you are determining Status Chance per pellet.
Update 10.0 (2013-09-13)
