Additional notes

We reference various sorts of statistical data for these adjustments, but in particular for those which lower the abilities of certain weapons, we've focused on data from matches between players of high Rank.

We will issue future updates after looking carefully at changes resulting from this update, as well as the overall state of statistical data over the long term.

Other changes

    • Similarly, Nintendo's Japanese website originally listed the update as releasing on 20 April 2020 before correcting it.
