I hope the new Tau Codex gives riptides 20 wounds @ T8.
And I hope stealth suits get -2 to incoming shots.
Nope. No wound change to riptide .
Riptide points down 24, HBC down 20, Ion Accelerator down 42.
Gun Drones +4
Shield Drones +2
Marker Drones same.
Broadside -20 HRR -27 HYMP -16 SMS-5
Skyray -19 Hammerhead -17
Is there any change in the weapon profiles (HBC, IA, HYMP, Ion Cannon, etc)?
afaik. no.
