It seems the “Hot Fix” that rolled out to fix the grifball boundaries and glitches also patched up the boosts giving you 5,000+ RP from rare boosts. Kind of sad about this 
They didn’t mention that in the notes, sneaky.

Yeah I think they wanted to fly it under the radar. I was getting 4,000 or more REQ points per boost after the Feb update but after the hot fix it has gone back down to a small meaningless 1,000.

Good. I’m glad we didn’t have to wait till’ the end of March for a fix.
OP, you sure you’re just not playing as well?

No its the boosts not the REQ points you get at the end of the match. I’ve been getting the top of the leaderboards most of the time in Warzone. If you use a rare RP boost after the Feb update you would get about 4,000 extra RP but now I’m back to getting about 1,000

But aren’t the rewards from the boosts based on your performance in the match?

Maybe but 4-5 thousand extra RP was obviously unintentional. I have been top of the leaderboard many times with a boost and an extra 1000 is usually the max I get. Then randomly after the Feb update I’m getting 4-5 thousand EVERY time? Seemed off and it stopped happening after the Hot Fix.

Sounds off, wish I had been doing this but now it seems its too late
Here is what was happening with the boosts after using an XP boost
And this is what was happening with the RP boosts
14,000 XP and 6,600 RP after using a Rare boost? That couldn’t be normal. Hasnt happened since the Hot Fix though
Did this increase the RP and XP gain from arena boosts aswell?

Well the hot fix appeared to have decreased the Warzone RP and XP gain from boosts while the arena boosts appear the same to me.
It also seems like boosts dont drop as often inside packs. I average around 1 or 2 boost every 6-7 packs i feel like. Or maybe Im just super unlucky, who knows?

Gotcha. Yea I see what you mean. That’s pretty weird.
uh? wat? i got 6k req points from a single warzone victory earlier today, was using a rare RP boost…
I get 1,500RP from a Rare (Blue) Warzone RP Boost as standard. Since day one to present day.
You guys are aware there is a Rare (Blue) Warzone RP Jackpot card which is a random RP payout?
RP Boosts give out a set amount per match regardless of performance and winning or losing.

I think they’re talking about Spartan kills or medal count RP boosts.
