Update progress
Beginning a recurring theme within major updates, A Heavy Update was released on a daily basis. Each day was marked with a unique page depicting at least one of the aspects of the update, before all were released.
Trivia
- The slowdown effect inherent with Natascha originally stacked upon itself, resulting in enemies coming to a complete halt when hit with multiple bullets. This occured at any range between the Heavy and the enemy.
- The Sandvich was advertised as having unlimited use, before a cooldown bar was implemented for balance issues.
