September 7, 2016 Update

March 20, 2019 Update

 * Tank Shell resistance (type 7) from -50 to -20
 * Engineers in the rumble seat now repair 50% of their normal repair per second value, instead of 30%.
 * Dev Note: With MBT and Lightning receiving less damage from the rear now, we've decided to reintroduce some of the vehicle's survivability against those targets. In most cases, this change increases the number of shots to kill for a composite armor Harasser by one, and prevents them from falling into a critical state as they normally would have, without composite armor. The additional rumble seat repair rate should also help boost the vehicle's overall survivability mid-fight, though ultimately the role of the Harasser continues to be to pick off wounded targets, and engage in hit and run gameplay.

June 17, 2020 Update

 * Added the Daredevil Chassis options to the Black Market for Harasser and Flash.
 * Harasser Stealth certification line now upgrades correctly at all ranks.

July 1, 2021 Update

 * Repairing from the rumble seat has been removed for all vehicles.
 * Dev Note: We've removed rumble seat repairs to create clearer, more predictable vehicle balance. A lack of rumble-seat repairs should weaken the Harasser's ability to escape to a small degree, and slow down the pacing for this vehicle. The vehicle most impacted by this change will likely be the Valkyrie, as it will need to fly closer to the ground instead of being as brazen in the air. We've compensated to a small degree by allowing the Valkyrie to use the Engineer's Aircraft Synergy passive, but we'll be monitoring to see if additional changes are necessary to keep the Valkyrie relevant and fun.

September 15, 2021 Update

 * Magriders/Harassers with the PPA equipped will no longer see the Sunderer's ammo dispenser FX on their vehicle.
