Ubisoft's approach of continuous support for their multiplayer-focused games has been working. Their medieval action game, For Honor, is in a much better shape compared to how it was at launch. The developer recently released one more update for the game that focuses on balancing changes, improves UI, and fixes tons of bugs.
The update is relatively small for PlayStation 4 players. PS4 users will have to download 1.7GB of data, whereas, Xbox and PC will have to download 2.1GB.
Breach game mode received several balancing changes. Pikemen Health and Damage is reduced to 37 and eight respectively. The previous values were 46 and 10. Fortifier received a major nerf as well. Its health is reduced to 80 (from the previous 120) and its Side Heavy Damage will only do 24 damage now. Both Guardian and Commander also received some nerfs. The Guardian’s health was reduced to 520 from the previous 600, and Commander’s Health is reduced to 855.
The rest of the changes are mentioned below in great detail.
