Incoming controversial changes to Rao!
Just learned through a video from one of the EA Creator Network content creators that with season 6 a change is coming to Rao 's hacking ability. It won't disable the vehicles weapon systems anymore ...
For completeness, this is the description in the patch notes:
- Added visual and audio feedback to vehicles that have been hacked by Rao's Cyberwarfare Suite.
- Rao no longer reveals players around an enemy he has recently hacked and killed, instead Rao will now reveal enemies in the target's area when he hacks a target. This will reveal all information in that area, such as all enemy soldiers, vehicles and gadgets within 10m of the hacked target for a very brief period of time.
- Sparks VFX appear when a vehicle is hacked to give improved player feedback.
- Vehicles will now be able to shoot while they are hacked. Vehicles will instead become “damaged” when hacked. Wheel, turret, engine damage states will trigger.
- To provide further emphasis on electronic warfare, the EMP Grenade will now behave similar to Rao’s new hacking behaviour.
And on Caspar drone this:
- Fixed an issue that allowed the Recon Drone's thermal sight to see enemies through smoke.
- Increased the cooldown for the Recon Drone's EMP by 5 seconds.
Dev Comment: This change comes as part of the EMP / Hacking gameplay behaviour improvements mentioned within Rao’s section to ensure healthy gameplay balance.
