Has Infested Salvage Arbitration been nerfed?

[YazMatazO]

Just did an Infested Salvage Arbitration, and I remember that if you kept everything running all the time, you ended up with 5 minutes per rotation, i.e., two rounds of decryptions. Just recently I did one solo, and I even managed reach slightly less than 5 minutes. Mind you, that was the smaller map where all the stations are close to each other. This time around, however, we were getting around 9 minutes per rotation, i.e., two rounds of decryptions. Everything was topped up, 4 people running around, making sure all the station are full at all times. Still 9 minutes. 

Has it been nerfed?

I don't think it was nerfed. Infested Salvage goes faster the smaller the squad size. Your solo run will be faster than a squad for this reason.

If you were wondering: Update 19.5.2:

Decryption now scales with the number of players  (less players = faster decryption)

I hope that clears up why your squad was slower than by yourself.

Ok, thanks. 

I still don't think we know everything about it, because if that update has rolled so long ago I have definitely gotten 5 minutes rotations in one of the Salvage maps in Arbitrations. In a full squad, as well.

If you have evidence of runs being slower after a certain date, I would make a bug report. I have felt it has been slightly slower as well, but that is just my observation, and I have no evidence of it actually being reduced or any idea of when that change occurred if at all.
