UPDATE:
As a reminder, these newly tuned weapons won't come into play until approx. Sept. 11, when the Team Arena playlist becomes the "Weapon Tuning Test" playlist.
Later today, we'll be rolling over to the new September-October ranked season and updating the Team Arena playlist to kick off "Phase One" of the public test. We look forward to your participation during Phase One as we establish some baseline data before we introduce the re-tuned weapons next week. You can read all about the playlist updates and tuning test details here. A new forum thread will be created to capture your feedback once Phase One officially begins later today.
