We have received a brief highlight of the day one patch, which will have over 200 updates.
Player
- You’ll notice that movement feels more responsive, with changes made to pacing and with several movement issues addressed to keep gameplay smooth and balanced.
Weapons
- Recoil has been rebalanced on automatic weapons, making long-range gunplay more characteristic, rewarding tap firing and burst control.
- Numerous weapon attachments have been fixed so they now display correctly in menus and in-game.
Gadgets
- The LTLM II (Laser Designator) has been refined with smoother deploy animations, updated visuals, and several fixes for better feel when used.
- The MBT-LAW is now the default Engineer launcher, with a more accurate trajectory, improved guidance, and clearer sights.
- The MAS 148 Glaive is enhanced with more realistic missile path, improved zoom and lock-on, sharper scope visuals, and more reliable vehicle damage.
- Deploy Beacons are now limited to one spawn per player (four per squad total), helping maintain balance and prevent overuse.
Maps and Modes
- Rush and Breakthrough layouts have been revised for better balance between attackers and defenders.
- Operation Firestorm has been updated with improved vaulting, lightning, and performance, while Siege of Cairo spawn killing and Out of Bounds issues have been addressed.
UI & HUD
- UI and HUD elements are clearer, with updated overlays, animated pings, new minimap options, and smoother loadout and deploy navigation.
Settings
- Settings and controls have expanded with new options like VO volume sliders, sprint bob reduction, and a camera roll toggle for accessibility, plus refinements across platforms.
Audio
- Audio has been cleaned up so pings are easier to hear, weapons and vehicles sound sharper, and missing delayed effects won’t get in the way of your awareness.
Network
- Netcode improvements reduce desync, make time-to-death feel fairer, and address cases of invisible damage.
