• [CHANGE] Decreased Hellfire charge time to 0.9 seconds (was 1 second).
  
• [CHANGE] Adjustments to various Add-Ons.

• We’ve been blown away by your reaction to 2v8 these past two weeks, and we’ve heard your demand loud and clear for the mode to be extended beyond its planned end date. We are happy today to share that we will extend 2v8’s initial run until next week, August 15 @ 11am ET.
  
  
• We've also heard demands for 2v8 to stay permanently and while we love the enthusiasm, this is only the first iteration of which we expect more. While Killer queues will always be a challenge in this mode, matchmaking wait times can be iteratively reduced through more Killer variety and a more compelling Survivor experience.
  
  
• We’ll wrap things up with a deep dive into the results after 2v8 is over but wanted to share this, which informed our decision to extend: 2v8 has proven to be very popular despite the queue times, accounting for over 40% of all matches since its release, even after removing the extra BP incentive.
