TL;DRThis backend tuning update adjusts two Killers without a download, though players need to restart the game. The Executioner's Rites of Judgment and Punishment of the Damned get faster timings, faster recharge and more range but fewer maximum charges and a slower cancel. The Good Guy gets a shorter Hidey-Ho mode cooldown, a faster vault during Slice & Dice and a longer maximum Slice & Dice time.

Who this matters to

The Executioner players

Rites of Judgment activates faster and recharges faster but holds fewer charges and takes longer to cancel; Punishment of the Damned spawns faster and reaches farther.

The Good Guy players

Hidey-Ho mode comes back sooner, and Slice & Dice lasts longer and vaults faster.
