UPDATE: GM Mestys announced updates to Weakened Armament to reduce defensive capabilities of afflicted armor. Including AvD, CvA, and DF. Plus, there was an update to Dislodge support for many self-ammo ranged weapons script. There’s no quick or easy summary for these combat mechanics, so I’m going to refer you to the announcement with all the links:

Updates to Weakened Armament and Dislodge:

The Weakened Armament status condition (https://gswiki.play.net/Weakened_Armament) has been updated to fully reduce the defensive capabilities of any armor that is affected by one armor group. These capabilities include AvD (https://gswiki.play.net/Attack_versus_defense), CvA (https://gswiki.play.net/Warding#CvA) and DF (https://gswiki.play.net/Damage_factor).

Additionally, many self-ammo ranged weapon scripts have been updated to support the Dislodge Combat Maneuver (https://gswiki.play.net/Dislodge). Ammo fired from such weapons will now be able to stick in their targets and be Dislodged like their mundane counterparts.
