Compound Twenty One has been shadow nerfed.
Little PSA, just found out it now has a range of 8 m and a duration of 3 s (compared to, respectively, 16 m and 6 s).
I'm not against the change, but please BHVR put it in the patch notes. Not mentioning this kind of change feels a bit shady.

Its just the text not the stats apparently
Just the text was changed not the actual effects
Expect the nerf to come next patch though, they are probably still testing it how it works with the reduced range and probably looking for a sollution for the bp gain when someone is in a locker
Frankly I think they should keep the locker notification and just make it part of the established kit of this add-on. There's not enough ways to combat people in lockers, and even if it "reveals" you, Blight has to bounce into something first, so you can just wait until he's in the recovery animation to hop out and maybe even hide nearby to trick and confuse him. The recovery takes long enough that you could legit hop out and gain a bit of distance even if he was directly in front of you, and he can't open it until he recovers so it's still some good safety.
The addon is too strong in its current state tbf. Only the addon description is changed and not its effect but I really don't think this change would butcher the addon. It'll be where it's supposed to be for a green.
Theres a lot of things in this patch that feel intentional but aren't in the patch notes. We knew they were going to nerf it anyway so I'm not too fussed.
Compound twenty-one is still too powerful for a green addon after the nerf. Why would you take other addons over this? You wouldnt, and it is common enough in my blood webs to take on almost every game. An addon this powerful should be a rare or ultra rare.
It's a ridiculous add on so the changes can't come soon enough.
While it is definitely too strong currently, I think the nerf makes it just fine. With the cooldown he gets you essentially only have like a second with the aura, and its only for 8 meters, its not like your gonna spot someone across the map. Looking at his other addons actually have good uses, Umbra Salts allowing for hits where you normally wouldn't, adrenaline vial actually can be pretty good when combined with turning addons. I don't see it as any better than Compound Seven after the nerf.
The problemi with the add-on is that it is indeed overtuned, but it also is the only thing which makes Blight viable against any survivors who don't simply run in a straight line.
I wouldn't care if they even deleted the add-on if they at least raised his camera to a normal height. Otherwise, C21 is the only reason you can see anything on a lot of maps.
