Soul Urn
We are experimenting with an alternate set of Urn mechanics. Please give us your thoughts on this after you've played with it some.
To pickup the Urn, rather than standing in place to channel, you now light or heavy melee the Urn to pick it up.
The Urn is now always dropped off on top of the bridge on the middle of the map.
Once dropped off, the Urn will go into a "Depositing" phase for a set amount of time, depending on which team the urn favors 3s/5s/10s for Favored/Neutral/Unfavored.
While in the Depositing phase, the enemy team can Heavy Melee the urn to have their team claim it and cause it to switch sides. This adds +1.25s to that team's timer.
If the urn is Favored or Unfavored in a comeback state, then the Favored team will get +50% Bullet and Spirit Resist in a 60m radius around the urn while it is being carried, dropped or deposited.
Urn damage is lethal
Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position.
Area around deposting the urn is revealed urn runner is also revealed as usual
The rules for Favored/Unfavored remain the same +15% soul difference for the first urn at 10:00, +10% for all future urns
All rewards are the same. The last person to contest the urn gets the +3 Golden Idol buffs, falling back to the original carrier if nobody contested it.

Breakables spawn time increased from 2 minutes to 3 minutes
Bullet Velocity now stacks additively rather than diminishingly
