WHAT’S NEW

 - IMPROVEMENTS

 GAMEPLAY 

  • Added Hip Lean system. 
    • New options have been added to let players Lean without Aiming Down Sights, giving them a wider field of view when peaking around corners at the cost of accuracy. This feature can be enabled in the Gameplay Settings menu.
  • Added Hip Fire Auto-Shoot system.
    • Players can now use Auto-Shoot in Hip Fire. This feature can be customized in the Gameplay Settings menu.
  • Added Observation Tool "Controlled by" info system.
    • When multiple players are spectating the same Drone or Camera, the player with the highest priority has control. Previously, it was impossible to know who that player was, but now the info is displayed in the top right corner.

 

USER INTERFACE

  • Adjusted the colors of the Audio Compass so it is less distracting when surroundings are silent.

 

SOCIAL

  • Ranked Matchmaking Update
    • Ranked matchmaking has been improved to prioritize full human teams. The system now targets 10 human players per match, making Ranked feel more competitive.
    • Note: in rare cases like when a player disconnects right before the match a bot may still appear, but overall, you can expect a much more consistent 5v5 experience. To make this possible, you may occasionally see a slightly wider range of ranks in your matches, but the goal is a fairer and more enjoyable Ranked environment
  • Reworked the Voice Chat system.
    • New Mic and Speaker buttons have been added to more easily adjust Voice Chat options during Fireteam lobbies and Matches.
