Havoc Buffs – More Reliable and More Lethal

The HAVOC Rifle just got a well-deserved boost, giving energy weapon fans something new to try out:

Base Damage increased from 19 → 20
Reduced recoil with softer vertical and horizontal kick
Pitch and yaw base values normalized to 1.0

This makes the Havoc more stable and consistent, especially for Players who can manage its charge-up time. With better Control and higher base damage, the Havoc could re-enter the meta as a strong mid-rangeoption.

Bocek Bow – It Might Be Time to Pick It Up Again

The Bocek Compound Bow is getting some serious love in this patch:

Charged Shot Damage increased from 55 → 65
Fire Rate improved from 2.0 → 2.5
Charge Cooldown reduced from 0.5s → 0.3s
Explosive Arrow Damage increased from 40 → 55

This dramatically increases the Bocek’s burst potential and makes the Shatter Caps and Deadeye’s Tempo hop-ups even more effective. The higher fire rate and explosive damage make it far more competitive, especially in medium-range fights.

Storm Point Crash Fixes

If you’ve been experiencing random crashes on Storm Point, good news—Respawn has implemented a fix. According to this patch, the crashes tied to this map should no longer affect players.

No more disconnects mid-rotation or crashes during late-game fights.

Final Thoughts

This patch might not be the biggest one this season, but it packs meaningful changes. The Havoc and Bocek are finally worth picking up again, especially for players looking to shake up their loadouts. And with Storm Point stability improved, it’s one less headache in the ranked rotation.
