We’ve taken a hard look at how enemies scale as you push into higher Rupture levels. Previously, enemies could quickly turn into massive damage-sponges that hit disproportionately hard. To make combat feel more fluid and fair, we’ve completely rebalanced Enemies Health and Damage across all game.

Damage Reductions

Enemy damage has been nerfed globally across all Rupture levels to make survival feel less punishing and give you more room to experiment with builds.

Enemies Health

We’ve aggressively squished enemy health pools at the top end to reduce the "bullet sponge" effect during endgame pushes.

As you might have noticed from the cooldown adjustments above, base ability cooldowns have been significantly increased across the board. Don't panic! This is because we are officially introducing Cooldown Reduction (CDR) as a brand-new core stat.

Previously, ability pacing was fixed. Now, we are putting the power back in your hands to customize how your character plays.
