Powerups
Freeze Actions
“Freeze Actions needed a bit of a boost. So we’re adding a new functionality to them.”
- Ice blocks are heavy, so Runners affected by them are now heavier and are affected more by gravity
Ice Axe
“It was too beneficial to get an advantage by slamming the Ice Axe into the ground to hit yourself. So we’re removing that functionality.”
- You can no longer slam the Ice Axe into the ground to hit yourself
Vortex Grasp
“Vortex Grasp is too strong and has a high win rate. We’re bumping it down a bit.”
- Pull Force: 18 → 15
Elektro Shock

- Activation time: 1.0s → 0.66s
