  • Bulwark Gyro: Fixed a bug that prevented this skill from properly redirecting damage to the scrapper.

July 16, 2019

  • Bulwark Gyro: This skill now scales the initial personal barrier it grants with the number of allies you are redirecting damage from. The base barrier granted has been reduced to account for the higher potential initial gain. Barrier amount is no longer split by game mode as a result. Fixed a bug with an incorrect skill fact for barrier amount.
