Agents,

We are deploying a minor patch (Ver. 0.12.3) to make some changes and fixes to the game. As we continue to go through the list of suggestions and issues, we will be deploying hotfixes and patches frequently until we can ensure Agents can all comfortably enjoy the game.

For the list of changes in this patch, please see below.

[h2]Changes/Improvements[/h2]

• Adjusted some character balance based on the passives. We made these adjustments to keep the combat more tactical, by making highly impactful skill combinations to be utilized more as a game-changer used at key strategic moments
  • Boy Scout
    • Reduced the duration of the hologram decoy that drops from the Tactical Retreat passive (10 seconds → 5 seconds)
  • Red
    • Reduced the duration of Overtime, her active skill (12 seconds → 10 seconds)
    • Reduced the cooldown of Overtime, her active skill (35 seconds → 30 seconds)
    • Increased the Quantum Shadow passive’s impact on the cooldown for Overtime, her active skill (30% longer cooldown → 100% longer cooldown)
• Adjusted the English description for Red's passive, Multitasker, to clarify it is triggered when her firing speed is boosted above the normal firing speed

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed the issue where you could not join Swarm Defense Mode games even with invites
• Fixed the issue where the Ravager (an elite version of the Skirmisher that has its face covered) would sometimes show without the face covering

Please note that if you are playing at this time, your game will not be interrupted. You will be prompted to download the patch the next time you open Blackout Protocol. It is possible for teammates to play with mismatched game versions, which could potentially impact gameplay. So please install the update as soon as possible for the best experience.
