Rogue Company Secret Identity patch notes: player identity & more
Hi-RezRogue Company’s latest patch finally brings some much-needed player profile customization features to the table. But that’s not all. It comes packed with gameplay tweaks and changes as well. Here’s everything you need to know.[jwplayer BlAHV3BT]
Rogue Company is one of the freshest games in the scene. The open beta was a success, and now that it has been officially released, the free-to-play third-person shooter is growing in popularity each day.
The developers have been working hard to keep up with the hopes and expectations of the game’s player base, and the latest patch finally adds something they’ve all wanted: player profile customization.
Here’s everything you need to know about Rogue Company’s Secret Identity update, starting with when it will hit live servers.
When is the Rogue Company Secret Identity update?
In preparation for the patch, Rogue Company’s servers will go offline today at 4:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC). It’s expected to be down for at least ten hours, the patch will most likely be ready to go at 3:00 PM ET (19:00 UTC).
Player Identity
Players can now customize their profiles by using a bunch of different tools and options. People like to main different characters, and everyone has a different playstyle. So naturally, it makes sense to include a feature that gives them more control over their in-game identity.
In addition to avatars, players will also be able to select a banner and border – much like the system used in Call of Duty titles. The possibilities are endless, and there’s plenty of room for creativity and style.
Mastery Rewards
The patch will also introduce a new rogue mastery rewards system, in which players can receive special avatars, banners, and borders after reaching certain levels with a specific hero.
Closed Beta Spray
Beyond that, players who took part in the closed beta will receive a unique spray as a thank you gift from the developers. The spray hilariously recreates the infamous spider man meme we all know and love.
Rogue Company – Gameplay Changes
Now for the nitty-gritty stuff. The patch will bring about some gameplay changes to perks, rogues, weapons, and more.
Perks
Sixth Sense has been completely removed from the game, which is something players will be happy about.
Evade now increases movement speed a little more and lasts three seconds longer, and Tracker Rounds reveals enemies for four seconds instead of three.
Some of the gadgets have been tweaked too.
C4s, Grenades, Grenade Base, and Semtex have been nerfed in terms of their radius. Meanwhile, the radius of Molotovs has been slightly increased.
Rogues
The patch also makes some balance changes to the Rogues themselves. Anvil is no longer immune to EMPs and Slows, which is great. Chaac’s self-heal duration has doubled and his self-revive will now restore him to 50 health.
What’s more, because Sixth Sense has been removed from the game, Ronin, Talon, and Vy will have Tracker Rounds instead, while Glitch will have headstrong. Ronin’s Ballistic Knife radius has also been slightly nerfed.
Beyond that, there’s been several bug fixes, quality of life changes, and weapon changes, which can all be found in the full list of the patch notes:
