Faction Balance Experiment
Season 2 bonus aimed at lifting Lonestar.
The Faction Balance Experiment is a Season 2 change aimed at Lonestar, the blue team, which had a notably lower win rate. For Season 2 only, Lonestar carries a cash and XP win bonus plus teamplay cash and XP multipliers, to test whether that shifts win rates and how players feel about the faction.
All three faction spawns on Bakurani have also been moved and rebuilt, each with purpose-built routes to the Control Zone. Separately, any losing team at least 40 points behind second place now gets a 20 percent vendor discount, which applies to all three factions.
Server owners should note that the developers have said community hosts seen to exploit the faction bonus will be punished. Running a straight two-faction setup, such as red versus green, avoids any risk.
Team switching is restricted
To stop stacking, you cannot switch to a team once it leads by more than 10 points, and there is a 15 minute lockout after you join a team. The losing-team discount is 20 percent off the vendor when a team is at least 40 points behind second place.
