Template:Patch PTB 4.1.0

BALANCE

The Cannibal: Added the Chainsaw Sweep charges. Using the Chainsaw will consume a charge and trigger a Chainsaw Sweep. During this time, The Cannibal can extend the Chainsaw Sweep by pressing the power button before the power bar fully depletes. The more charges are used, the longer the missed cooldown / tantrum (if colliding with obstacles).

In numbers:
 * The Cannibal starts with 3 charges
 * Triggering the chainsaw will start a Chainsaw Sweep that lasts 2 seconds
 * During this, each charge used after that will reset the Chainsaw Sweep timer back to 2 seconds
 * Each additional charge used increases the missed chainsaw attack cooldown / tantrum duration by 1 second
 * Charges refill at a rate of 1 every 4 seconds when the chainsaw is not being used.
 * The Cannibal’s maximum speed during a Chainsaw Sweep has increased to 5.29 m/s from 5.06 m/s
 * Furthermore, if The Cannibal revs the chainsaw for too long, a tantrum is automatically triggered for the base duration of 5 seconds.
 * When a tantrum is triggered, all remaining charges are consumed.

Add-ons:
 * Updated most of his add-ons.

The Hillbilly: Added the overheat mechanic. Using the chainsaw will now build up heat. When reaching the maximum amount of heat, the chainsaw overheats and cannot be used until it has cooled off.

In numbers:
 * The chainsaw heat meter starts at 0.
 * Starting a rev adds 5 charges.
 * Actively revving adds 10 charges per second
 * Actively sprinting adds 2 charges per second
 * When not using the chainsaw, the heat meter dissipates at a rate of -3.5 charges per second
 * When the chainsaw overheats, the heat meter dissipates at a rate of -6.6 charges per second
 * If the heat meter reaches 100 charges, the chainsaw overheats.
 * If the chainsaw overheats during a chainsaw sprint:
 * The sprint is not interrupted
 * The chainsaw goes through the cooldown phase after the sprint has ended

Add-ons:
 * Updated most of his add-ons.

Perk updates:
 * Franklin’s Demise: Instead of the item losing charges when dropped, the Entity will consume the item after 150/120/90 seconds if it is not picked up. Additionally, Franklin’s Demise will reveal the aura of items on the ground within 32/32/32 meters.
 * Knock Out: Now triggers on basic attacks only. Additionally, Survivors put in the dying state by your basic attacks will crawl 50/50/50% slower for 15/15/15 seconds. During this time, they are affected by the Blindness status effect.
 * Lightborn: Grants immunity to blindness caused by flashlights and firecrackers. Survivors that attempt blinding you have their aura revealed for 6/8/10 seconds.
 * Tinkerer: Now triggers at 70/70/70% (down from 85%) and grants the Undetectable status effect for 12/14/16 seconds (up from 8/10/12)

BUG FIXES

 * Fixed an issue that caused injured Survivors to sometimes make no sound after certain actions.
 * Sanctum of Wrath: Fixed an issue that prevented blinking on the stone steps with the Nurse.
 * Fixed an issue that allowed loading into a Public Match while in Custom Games.
 * The Doctor: Fixed an issue that caused Survivors outside of the Terror Radius to not hear the audio cue when charging the Static Blast ability.

 * The Oni: Fixed an issue that prevented entering Blood Fury if the power meter was filled while carrying a Survivor.
 * Grim Pantry: Fixed an issue that allowed a tree to spawn at the Exit Gate.
 * Reverted the UI Scale back to the pre-4.0.0 size. We were a bit too overzealous with the scale value and have set it back to the original size as this was adversely effecting players in 1440p. However, this means that players in 4k will temporarily have the smaller UI scale for the duration of the PTB. Our intention for release is to implement an increased UI scale only for players using 4k resolutions. Players playing in 1440p and below will continue to remain at the pre-4.0.0 size.
