HOTFIX 15.2

GAMEPLAY AND BALANCING TWEAKS

Melee in PvE

One-Handed Thunder Hammer

Gameplay

• Accumulation stance can be entered even if the hammer already has charges. If the hammer has maximum charges the Charged Impact attack will be triggered.

• Energy Loop now can be performed after Charged Impact. Energy loop damage is increased by 100%.
• Underhand Swing damage is increased by 30%.

Weapon Perks

• “Preparedness” and “Brutal Reforge” perks now trigger when an enemy was killed with a Finisher by a One Handed Hammer.
• “Preparedness” perk ability restoration is increased to 5%.
• “Perfect Reprisal” ability damage bonus is increased to 50%. Fixed an issue that applied the bonus damage to any melee attack instead of just Light Attacks.

GENERAL FIXES

• Tactical: Fixed a bug with the Plasma Pistol having the buff from "Versatility" even if no Primary Weapon was equipped.
