Across the continents of Auraxis, thousands of players will come together in enormous battles to win control of territory and resources for their empire. With an extensive skill tree and a free-form class-based system, players will be able to customize their soldier, weapons and vehicles to match their play-style, or the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. Battles can last for days or weeks, so players will need to build real alliances and combat outfits to take on long-term strategic and tactical initiatives. With air, ground and seaborne combat, the battles are more intense than ever.

Various character, vehicle and artillery customization features will be available to players constructing the perfect fighter for their favorite of the three empires: The Terran Republic (the conservative, authoritative nation aiming to reunite the clashing factions), The New Conglomerate (a liberated faction fighting to remaining free) or The Vanu Sovereignty (technophiles seeking to develop and exploit alien technology). Also, an in-depth and adaptive class system – with ranks, unlockable traits and skill sets – will give players complete control over their online warrior.

PlanetSide 2 received a consignment of updates, including improvements to infantry, vehicles, UI, experience, facilities, audio and items.

Live Update 02 is only the start of bigger and better things planned for addition to the game this year. The development team has been actively listening to community feedback, creating this update to tackle the biggest issues they have seen and been notified about thus far.

General Updates

• Client performance improvements
• Client stability improvements

Infantry Updates
Spotting

• Repeated spotting without a valid target will now put your ability to spot on cooldown.
• Spotting an enemy at 30+ meters now has to be more precise.
• You now have to be closer to the center of the target to see their nameplate.

Existing Weapon tuning changes

• Added medals to all weapons that were missing them.
• VS Pistols
  • Increased iron sight accuracy, from 0.5 to 0.4.
• All shotguns
  • Lowered vertical recoil, from 1.75 to 1.5 per shot.
  • Reduced accuracy loss per shot, from 1.0 to 0.5.
  • Increased damage falloff range. Damage used to start scaling at 5m and end at 15m. Now it starts at 8m and ends at 20m.
• Jackhammer
  • Lowered vertical recoil, from 1.75 to 1.2 per shot.
  • Reduced accuracy loss per shot, from 1.0 to 0.5.
  • Increased damage falloff range. Damage used to start scaling at 5m and end at 30m. Now it starts at 12m and still ends at 30m.
  • Reduced pellet spread, from 3.0 to 2.5.
  • Increased projectile speed, from 300m/s to 400m/s.
  • Increased iron sight move accuracy. From 0.3375 crouch-walking and .9 running, to .25 crouch-walking and .75 running.
  • Increased iron sight move speed, from 0.5x to 0.75x of the player’s base speed.
  • Increased hip-fire accuracy. It now matches all the other shotguns.
  • Very small adjustment to reload times. Cut 100 whole milliseconds off the reload chamber time and added it to the reload empty time. It's now 2 seconds to reload when reloading with at least one bullet remaining and 3 seconds if empty.
• TX2 Emperor
  • Fixed audio not playing when in iron sights.

  • Fixed underbarrel grenade launchers not doing any damage after a reload.

Misc Changes & Fixes

• Added a short invulnerability on newly spawned players. This invulnerability goes away if the player moves or takes any action.

• Purchasing the second Medic C4 cert will no longer grant every class the ability to carry an additional C4. This bug allowed a number of classes to carry more C4 than what was intended.
• Ace Tool ammo packs should now be properly affected by Ammo Pack certs.
• Fixed bug that caused client and server ammo counts to be out of sync (for example, extra underbarrel rounds on your client that were doing no damage).

Vehicle Updates

• Mouse movement optimizations have been made for vehicle turrets. They should feel a bit smoother and more responsive. Some players may find the sensitivity to be different and should adjust the sensitivity slider.
• Players in vehicles can no longer capture points.

• Made adjustments to the Magrider so that combining strafe and forward velocity no longer provides an advantage to hill climbing

UI Updates

• A tiny bar that represents your progress towards earning your next cert point has been added to the cert point area on the HUD
• Players now have the ability to customize empire colors on the HUD. The game will default to our 'Enemy vs. Ally' color preset. The default colors can be changed from the General section in Settings.

  • With this change, 'Instant Action' and 'Hotspots' are no longer synonymous. Instant Action is meant to take you to a large fight where there's already a significant amount of allies. Hotspots are visual cues for where fights are, regardless of whether you have a significant amount of allies there or not.

  • Attachment button should always be visible on the Equipment page and the selected weapon view of the Equipment Edit page.

• Added tiered kill xp
  • Killing a player who has been alive for less than 10 seconds and has not earned more than 5 xp will yield a diminished “Spawn Kill” xp reward of 25 xp
  • Killing a player who has been alive for more than 10 seconds, or earned more than 5 xp and less than 1000 xp will yield a normal “Kill” xp reward of 100 xp
  • Killing a player who has earned equal to or more than 1000 xp but less than 2000 xp will yield an enhanced “High Threat Kill” xp reward of 150 xp
  • Killing a player who has earned equal to or more than 2000 xp will yield an enhanced “Extreme Menace Kill” xp reward of 300 xp
• Added Surface-to-Air Damage experience rewards

Facility Updates

• Upgraded all spawn rooms to be more defensible. This should lead to less spawn camping.
• Adjusted the tower to help reduce spawn camping.
• Added Tunnels to the Amp Station and Tech plants. These tunnels are only accessibly by the defenders and emerge in key locations throughout the Facilities. This should lead to less spawn camping. (I see a theme)
• At all Amp Stations and Saurva and Andvari, we added faction specific Jump Pads. Only the facility owners can use these jump pads. This should make getting around in these bases a little trickier for attackers, but not impact the defenders.
• Warpgate ownership on all three continents were rotated.
• Redesigned the Biolabs. There is better cover at the landing platforms which should lead to more interesting fights there.
