Does any one have the web page to show the changes. Cause ive looked and havent been able to find it. I found one but it said it was currently unavailable. from what ive found so far, i know that bleed through, al, and bloom have been changed. if any one can send me a link or list whats been changed that would be great.

Also are weapons weaker now cause of bleed through? and what weapons are effected by the changed bloom?

Changes that matter:

85% bloom makes DMR less random and better.

Bleed-through melee makes Needle Rifle 6sk instead of 7sk, making it the better rifle.

Armour lock duration decreases with damage , and don't shed grenades

so the bloom only effects the dmr? cause it looks like the needle rifles alot more accurate as well.

what about the dmrs 5sk? if its still 5 does that means its weaker? since the bleed through would allow the 5 shot to break the shields and kill. as oppose to 4 shots breaking the shield and the 5th killing.

Pretty much.

Now only the DMR and Pistol take bloom into consideration; the Needle Rifle has so little bloom now that it is essentially bloomless.

If you shoot a full-health enemy it will take five shots, but of course if they are damaged beforehand even a little bit it will be 4sk.

aye i noticed that if you crouch the dmr gets pretty much no bloom at all.
