  • Frag Grenade: Increased environmental damage from 600 to 900

  • Temporarily disabled the Stun Gun’, pending a re-work that will release some time during season 6

  • We’ve improved animation timing so that manual actions (such as lever-action or pump-action sequences) now play more quickly after a quick melee attack, reducing dead time between actions. The impact of this change varies depending on the weapon’s specific animation set

  • Characters: We've updated the hand model to a new, improved version that looks significantly more realistic and detailed, enhancing the overall immersion

  • Cosmetics: Fixed hairstyle compatibility with the following cosmetics: Cabalgata Bolero, Ballad Brim Headwear, Multi-Mood Mask

  • Kyoto: Power Shift: Fixed an issue where players on the Bamboo Forest side would sometimes spawn in the wrong location at the start of the round

  • Settings: Updated AMD FSR resolution scaling method to version 3.1.3 (not including Frame Generation which is still being worked on)

  • Updated the underlying physics of pulled objects, which should make their behaviour more consistent when dragged by the Winch Claw

  • Winch Claw: Reduced the amount of physics force-pulled objects can apply to world objects, preventing them from launching items like Cashout Stations across long distances

  • Stability & Performance: Server performance enhancement

  • Updated the gamepad inventory layout for the following presets: Equipment Wheel, Modifier Button Equipping, and Directional Equipping. The new layout better matches the actual gamepad controls.

  • Security and Anti-cheat: General improvements and detections enhancements
