Today however marks the first time we&#39;re letting our new website do the work for us! </p><p>That&#39;s right, the patch notes you&#39;ll see further down this page (and in fact the stats you see across the new website) are all being pulled directly from the game engine, making them more accurate than ever before while taking less time away from our teams letting them focus on other things.</p><p>We&#39;ll still be adding our usual hand-written commentary for each Hero, explaining our changes and goals, don&#39;t you worry. And we&#39;ll also still be covering all of the other cool stuff that we add in each game update.</p><p>Speaking of, the V0.12.2 Game Update is shipping with a bunch of changes to projectiles which we think are a blast. We&#39;re also helping out those who are newer to Predecessor with a small XP boost to make the new player experience a little more rewarding. </p><p>That&#39;s enough babbling on for now though - let&#39;s jump right in to next week&#39;s game update!</p><h2 id="projectile-improvements" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Projectile Improvements</h2><p>Take cover Champions, the long awaited projectile rework is here! </p>

              <p><i><sup>#JustHowiThings</sup></i></p><p>Almost all projectiles in the game have been completely rebuilt from the ground up to pretty much guarantee perfect and consistent basic attacks every time. Likewise, other special case abilities, such as <b>Gideon</b>’s <b>Void Breach</b> [<b>RMB</b>], are now much easier to smooth out on our end which means they&#39;ll feel much better and more consistent to use in-game too!</p><p>With a change as large as this there are naturally far too many modifications to list out on a Hero-by-Hero basis. So instead of boring you with a long list of minor details we’re letting you dive right on in to try out our changes for yourselves.</p><p>Of course, with any large system change such as this there will always be a potential risk for fallout and bugs affecting gameplay and balance. Rest assured, further tweaks will be made to any problem cases where required. Keep the feedback coming and we hope you&#39;ll enjoy!</p><h2 id="new-accounts-experience-boost" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">New Accounts Experience Boost</h2><p>Let’s talk about new accounts! </p><p>Off the back of introducing our recent Hero Acquisition system, we have been hard at work on alternative ways to improve the new player experience with additional onboarding systems.<br/><br/>Though it may not be arriving this year, one such initiative we are working on is a <b>Quest </b>system. One of the goals of Quests will be to further support the onboarding process by offering rewards for completing various objectives with a Hero, simultaneously developing gameplay knowledge for newer Predecessor players whilst helping them build up their Hero arsenal at a slightly accelerated rate. <br/><br/>In the meantime however we&#39;ve added an XP boost to new accounts, offering them a little extra Hero Unlock XP at the end of a match (until they hit Account Level 14), to better help them along on their journey!</p><h2 id="store-update" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Store Update</h2><h3>Casual Friday Rampage</h3><p>If, like Rampage, you&#39;ve got that Friday Feeling - we&#39;ve got the perfect skin for you!</p>
