2024 BH Changes Patch
================================== -------------- 2024 -------------- ================================== Merry Christmas, Bounty Hunters! ==================================
Ever feel like the majority of your Bounty Hunter skills are only useful in PK? This update enhances BH skills to thrive in PVE encounters, allowing players to track, trap, and eliminate NPCs targets with the same predatory feel as PVP.
- Most BH skills now work on mobs!
- Added the <mark> skill - marking a target gives the hunter various benefits and synergizes with other BH skills.
- The BH Device has received significant QoL buffs. Gone are the days of asking which planet a bounty is on.
- The Bounty Hunters Guild now offers "Wanted Dead, Not Alive" contracts to aspiring and established bounty hunters. These contracts can be obtained through the BH device.
- Bounties and marks will show up in BH's <picture>.
- Disable now works like it used to (full combat disable for some number of seconds).
- Whipcord's <entangle> now works on mobs. The mob will try to return to its spawn point after a little bit. Whipcords now come with 30 uses, and refills give 30 uses.
- Capture nets no longer have ammo, they just have a delay on use. They are also more effective, and can be used on mobs.
- Flare tubes now lower the target's hit chance.
- Fade now lasts longer, but it will end if you use a skill (though if you do, that skill will have half disable).
- Forensics will point you toward your mark, if it is nearby. Use this to find your way to bountied mobs.
- Traps are no longer consumed once trigged and go on cooldown instead. Traps work on mobs; this pairs nicely with whipcord.
- Added <toolmake> skill for Bounty Hunters to rig up some of their commonly-used tools.
- Trapsweep is now a buff that lasts for a certain number of movements. It can also be used to pick up your traps after deployment.
- Rush works more like bumrush - you can use it to rush into a room with an enemy.
- Rush and bumrush do NOT require line-of-sight to the target anymore, you can go around corners.
- Bounty Hunter's <hire> skill now has simpler syntax but gives more info.
- Added new BH skill <juggernaut> at level 45.
