Main focusGameplay changes and fixes
- Overall, our goal is to make The Executioner feel snappier when using his power, while also giving him more range to help promote those awesome plays. 8s)Dev
- We felt that The Good Guy could use a little bit of a boost to his lethality while in power, so we've made some adjustments to put him in a better place for the long term. As a reminder, this update does not require a download of any new content, however players will need to restart their game for the changes to take effect.
