Patch	Changes
June 30, 2022	The quickness applied by this trait has been reduced from 4 seconds to 2.5 seconds in PvE, PvP, and WvW. Fixed a bug that caused the Mech Command skill cooldown reduction to not apply in PvP.
June 28, 2022	This trait has been reworked. It no longer causes mech attacks to sometimes include an explosion, nor does it allow the mech to inherit the effect of Explosives traits. Instead, it now reduces the cooldown of Mech Command skills by 20% and grants quickness after a Mech Command skill is used.
February 28, 2022	End of Dragons release: Mech Core: Jade Dynamo has been added to the game.
November 30, 2021	Mech Core: Jade Dynamo was available during the End of Dragons Beta Event 4.
