Change Log

Patch 7.0.1

  • Nerf: reduced the Cool-down for disabled Biopods from 60 seconds to 45 seconds.
  • Nerf: increased the Printing time in Supply Cases from 90 seconds to 100 seconds, if no Survivor interacts with the Supply Case to accelerate the process.
  • Nerf: increased the Charge time from 2 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
  • Nerf: now applies the Hindered Status Effect while charging and holding.

Patch 8.1.0

  • Buff: increased the Area of Effect from 8 metres to 10 metres.
    • However, it should be noted that based on the code, EMPs already had an Area of Effect range of 10 metres.
  • QoL: now correctly shows the Hindered icon when being slowed while charging.
  • QoL: Survivors are no longer forced to pick up the EMP after opening the Supply Case.
  • Indirect QoL: the Aura of Supply Cases at the Passive-Printing limit are revealed in yellow.
  • Nerf: limited Passive Printing to 97 Charges.
  • Nerf: reduced the immunity to Slipstream after using an EMP from 2 seconds to 1 second.


Trivia

  • EMP is short for "Electromagnetic Pulse", a short surge of electromagnetic energy, which disrupts nearby electronic devices and circuitry.
  • Despite showing a spherical area of effect when charged, the EMP has an unlimited vertical range.
  • When an EMP is fully charged, it will emit a beeping noise when a Biopod is within its area of effect, with the frequency increasing if more Biopods are in the area of effect.
    • This also allows Survivors to find Biopods behind obstacles or walls without seeing them.
