The November Update is making its way to Quake Champions, and with it comes a brand-new playable Champion, major balance updates for existing Champions and several other balance refinements for weapons and game modes.

NEW CHAMPION: EISEN
Even as a starship captain who’s seen more than his fair share of struggles, nothing could prepare Eisen for the bloodshed caused when the Clutch AI turned homicidal against its human masters – killing Eisen’s closest friends and loved ones in the process.

Now hunting down the rogue robot through the Dreamlands, Eisen utilizes his special ability – the Sentry Turret – to watch his back. Once deployed, the Sentry Turret can alert Eisen of an enemy’s presence and fire off warning shots as a deterrent. While useful in keeping a step ahead of his foes, Eisen’s Turret focuses on utility over raw damage and is susceptible to enemy fire, so be mindful where you place it!

CHAMPION BALANCE
The November Update features several major updates to all Champions, refining their balance and capabilities in the Arena. Champion abilities, for example, have been heavily rebalanced to emphasize utility over raw damage-dealing power. The nitty-gritty details will be expounded upon in the Update’s upcoming patch notes, so be sure to keep an eye out!

GENERAL BALANCE
In addition to Champion-specific improvements, the November Update features several other tweaks. One of these includes changes to the Rocket Launcher, Lightning Gun and Tri-Bolt to improve their balance, counterplay and overall ‘feel.’

Gameplay changes included unified ammo behavior and powerup spawn times across all modes. Additionally, Instagib has been updated to only have the Railgun and Gauntlet deal insta-fragging amounts of damage, with abilities now doing normal damage. Be on the lookout for the Update’s patch notes for details on each change coming to gameplay.

Even as the year nears a close, Quake Champions is keeping the momentum strong. Look forward to more from Arena in the coming weeks and enjoy the latest additions to the game!
