History

• March 20, 2019 Update
  • Short reload from 2.1sec. to 2sec.
  • Long reload from 2.8sec. to 2.7sec.
  • Standing CoF from 1.9 to 1.5
  • Moving CoF from 2.4 to 2
  • Crouching CoF from 1.4 to 1.25
  • Crouchwalking CoF from 1.9 to 1.5
  • Dev Note: The changes here move Quasar into a bit more of a competitive alternative to the Blueshift or Nebulas, and sits somewhere between them in terms of accuracy and damage output.
