Developer Notes

“Season 1 represents our vision for the long-term health of Resurgence. The Vanguard fills a gap we’ve heard the community asking about since launch — a true tank that can lead from the front. We’re monitoring the weapon balance closely and expect a follow-up tuning pass in Patch 1.2.1.”
