Y11S3.2 Patch Notes: Noor and Tachanka buffs, Solid Snake nerf, and more!

Ubisoft have released the Y11S3.2 Patch Notes, which go through the changes that will be made to the game with the launch of Operation Split Fire's mid-season update.

The main highlight of today's update is the release of Noor's first major buff. The launch of the Egyptian defender in September was highly controversial as the bast majority of the community thought he was too weak. Some even thought Noor's anti-hard breaching potential, seen on the Test Server and corrected before his official launch, should have been preserved. With today's update, anti-hard breaching tasks will be easier to perform with him.

However, Noor won't be the only operator to be buffed. Tachanka's gadget is getting slightly buffed too, whilst Valkyrie is getting a secondary shotgun.
