General Game Balance Adjustments 2
Certain Survivor skills that have had significant effects on the rate of victory are being adjusted.
These adjustments will target skills with abilities that are too powerful individually, skills that have too great of an effect on the outcome of matches when combined, and skills that cool down too quickly after being used to escape the raider. In addition, some skills which see less frequent use will be buffed.
*Skill Devices with the same effects will receive the same adjustments.

General Game Balance Adjustments 3
With the adjustment to survivor skill effects, raiders will now be able to chase survivors down more skillfully, so some raiders’ abilities have been adjusted accordingly.
