1C Game Studios announced a pile of buffs for marksmen and nerfs for assaults in Caliber after a long period of time where the former dominated everyone else.
The reason is that they all have high DPS, speed and fairly high durability but it is that last part of the formula that will get slapped out of existence.
Almost all assaults in the game will suffer nerfs to max health, making them extremely squishy and allowing the other roles to actually win duels against them.
Confirmed assaults with lowered health pool are Volk, Perun, Voron, Plut, Koszmar, Rein, Corsair, Sly, Sterling, Avant Garde, Aphela, Faro, Mustang, Lazootchick, Starkadr, Shaowei and the Recruit.
Martelo from BOPE didn't receive an HP nerf, probably because his weapon is not that potent while his gadget and ability do not affect fights directly in most cases.
Some HP reductions are higher than others. For example, Volk lost only five HP while Corsair lost 15, meaning that the nerf will actually improve Volk's standing in the class. On top of that, he is now faster and carries more ammo.
Perun's changes are perhaps the most interesting. He lost two armour plates and 15 HP even though he wasn't an overpowered operator before. His ability will function slightly differently when the patch hits as it will provide an improved fire rate instead of damage and will remove horizontal recoil.
