This patch SHOULD be making it to consoles!

Zh1nt0 on devblog wrote: Here is the complete fix-list for the patch

- All Weapons Bronze Insignia requiring an unobtainable bronze star for the tracer dart – requirement removed.

- Improved Hit registration made through several fixes and some of the hitboxes themselves have been changed. This will increase the accuracy of guns.

- Blue box chat window removed

- The 2 second immunity when spawning/being revived will now be immediately removed either by firing, zooming, or any movement (move, crouch, jump). A Spawning Player can still orient passively in the Game World..

- 3D vision fixed.

- Fixed slug shotgun zoom crosshair on PC so they better represent the long range accuracy. Crosshairs now close more on PC, similar to consoles.

- Reduced slug shotgun hip accuracy to require zooming for consistent long range accuracy. Hip accuracy is now on par with the semi automatic weapons.

- Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended.

- Fixed VADS turning sensitivity on PC so it performs like the ZU23.

- Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23.

- Fixed a bug where vehicle countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed.

- Reduced the reload time for vehicle countermeasures.

- Slightly increased the AT4's damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor.

- Increased the AT4’s top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing.

- Increased the AT4's splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons.

- Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons.

- Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire.

- Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons.

- Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%.

- Fixed an C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert.

- Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911.

- Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role.

- Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR.

- Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs.

- Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMG's.

- Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons.

- Slightly increased the damage of the UH60.

Plus the 50% damage reduction should help keep C4 UAVers at bay

The only thing I see an issue with, is the increased damage to the Blackhawk's guns. IMO, they need to be nerfed, not powered up. The Blackhawk is perfect as it is, now it's going to be OP probably.

A mod had to be introduced for competition purposes to force the texture to be at a certain level.

And Bro-ZD, VSS is pretty good. Though I prefer SVU for longer ranges because VSS tends to leave bullet trails often, since you fire it in continuous bursts.

Not to mention it takes more bullets to kill, and the bullets scatter everywhere from the recoil. You'd have better luck spitting at enemy Recons with better sniper rifles at a longer range with that thing.

Kitsune no Kaji wrote:THe SVU kills in 2 headshots at a longer range with magnum ammo.

Nah, I like the VSS. What I mean is, when the enemy team are all snipers at a VERY long range, it simply can't compete.

I like the Blackhawk changes. I've always felt the miniguns were underpowered for what they are intended to do (which is infantry annihilation).

Then they should have left the flare recharge time as is. Now it is just up'ing the survival chance on top of killing chance.

The smoke cooldown is fairly long as it is. I think it'll be fine.
