The 11 July 2018 patch for Command & Conquer: Rivals was the game's fifth official patch[1], which affected the game's balance but not the build number.

Announcement[]

On 9 July 2018, game designer Greg Black announced the focus points of the patch.[2]

This week we'll be improving underperforming units and making a few targeted tweaks to units and powers that are a little too good (or a lot too good if you're the Basilisk).

We'll be giving some love to: - Chemical Warriors - Jump Jet Troopers - Stealth Tank - Banshee

We'll be dialing down: - Basilisk - Mammoth Tank - M.L.R.S. - Heroic Charge - Fanaticism

I'm sure you've noticed that we've been rapidly and aggressively making balance changes. We'll continue to experiment and rapidly course-correct throughout this Early Access period, all in the interest of gaining as much feedback and data as possible prior to worldwide launch. We'll settle into a regular, steadier balance-change cadence post-launch.

GLHF!
