All, Ubisoft community managers have confirmed that the Warehouse map exploit (getting on the roof of the warehouse) will be dealt with on the next patch. I'm assuming that means it'll be taken out, but who knows? They also issued a warning that abusing map exploits can result in sanctions; however, they stopped short of confirmed they'd sanction you for using the warehouse roof. Just an FYI for anyone not trolling the forums. -RabidRebel

Done it a couple of times so far. I highly recommend 4 players to beat him. 2 is extremely rough and 3 is certainly possible. I found the best tactic to be standing on a rock so you can dive off when you get targeted by his instant-kill shot.

Below is the link to the trailer for the new PVE mode coming on Dec 14 too. Let "The Hunt" begin?

UbiInsulin posted more on the next update... The major things we can mention are the new ranked mode, two new classes, and new maps. We just can't get into details yet, I'm afraid. Some fixes that stand out: C4 will be changed to behave more like a trap than a grenade There will be improved map/mode rotation The loadout selection timer will be reduced to speed up play Endgame cinematics have been tweaked to reduce transition time into the next round

Another confirmed upcoming change. UbiInsulin posted the following regarding some complaints about the Scout drone and class (emphasis added): "At this time I'm not aware of any balance changes to Scout's drone, but support classes will be receiving an SMG damage buff."

The rumor mill is still churning on the Ubisoft forums. Speculation from a Youtuber includes 2 new classes, new maps, and a game mode. Some others are predicting one of the new classes to be crossbow operator. The new game mode is likely the previously announced hostage rescue mode.

It looks like Ubisoft Forum moderators are letting slip a few tidbits about the next patch. Here are a few things gleaned from the forums recently. No date has been posted for the December update. -UbiInsulin posted the following "We can confirm more classes and ranked mode, but stay tuned for more details. " -Another moderator posted that mines will be returning to snipers in the next patch. There's also strong sentiment floating around the Ubisoft forums regarding the following items. It's likely some (or all) will see some re-balancing at the next patch. -C4 (heavy complaints about it being used as an offensive weapon in face-to-face combat) -Sniper (multiple complaints that the sniper "nerf" has made it a worthless class compared to Sentinel) -Support (dislike of disadvantage caused by the assault classes getting an HP boost last patch)

As of Nov 20, the penalty for early leaving a match was reduced significantly. Due to numerous player complaints, the new rules for incurring a match leave penalty are below. I've also included the Ubisoft forum post link which further outlines some of the Update 1: Interference patch changes (e.g., exact HP changes, Sniper changes). -Leaving 6 matches early in a 2 hour period will now incur a server-issued "time out" penalty (was 5 matches over 12 hours). -The new length of the "time out" penalty is 1 hour (was 4). -Ubisoft is reserving the right to change the rules based on more data/feedback. https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1788773-Update-1-Interference-Feedback-from-the-dev-team

Below are some things I've noticed that ARE NOT in the patch notes, but you may wish to know about. Be sure to read the one on drones. Tech Jammer -- The new drone jammer is an instant destroy for drones launched in its radius. No more flying out and back in to the jammed radius. Disruptor -- It does impact drones, but doesn't stop them. The mini map will scramble in range, but you can still spot and pick people up with a medic drone. C4 -- You can and will blow yourself up if you use the "throw and explode" method that was getting abused. Drones -- You will not see drones on your HUD or mini-map unless you turn them back on in Options->HUD->Drone Info Medic Loadout -- The attached default scope for the PP19 (Russian Red Dot) isn't one of the new selectable scopes. You may not be able to get it back. Maps/Modes -- Rotate in via quick play at a random.
