Weapons

First/Third Person Scope Toggling:

In this update we have introduced the ability for players to toggle between first and third person perspectives when using the current batch of First Person sights such as ACOGs and Adjustable Scopes. To do this the controls are the following:

• On Keyboard and Mouse - Press the Y key

• On Controller - Hold ADS (LT/L2) and press the Emote key (D-Pad Right)

Additionally, we have added extra settings in the options to allow you to set your default perspective with sights. This is limited right now but will be updated soon and improved.

Recoil System Changes:

• All weapons now have brand new recoil patterns and smoother recoil per shot to reduce visual distortion. These new recoil patterns vary in difficulty and are based on each weapon's perceived strengths and weaknesses as well as it's expected engagement ranges. Since this is a new system, the new Recoil patterns may take time to iron out and are subject to further tweaks based on player feedback.

• Recoil Reduction bonuses when Crouching have been reduced to 33% (was 50%) due to these new Recoil changes, the previous bonus resulted in recoil reduction that we felt was far too strong when crouching with the new Recoil system.

Missing Limbs - Recoil Improvements:

• Recoil Increase penalties when missing one arm have been reduced to +20% Recoil Per Shot (was +35%) to smooth out the experience when attempting to fight back when missing an arm.

• Recoil Reduction bonuses when missing legs have been increased to -20% Recoil Per Shot (was -10%) to improve the ability to compensate for recoil when missing legs.

Missing Limbs - Spread Improvements:

• Spread Per Shot and Maximum Spread when missing an arm has been reduced to +5% (was +10%) to smooth out the jump in Spread when losing an arm in combat.

• Spread Per Shot and Maximum Spread when missing legs is now reduced by 10% when missing legs to improve legless weapon combat.

Spread Changes:

• All weapons have had Spread Per Shot reductions based on the new Recoil patterns to take some of the weight off the "randomness" of Spread and place it more on the Recoil side of the weapons. On average, Spread Per Shot has been reduced by approximately 5-6% depending on the weapon in question, with a few outliers having slightly more reductions. This should result in longer bursts being more accurate, but full automatic weapons fire blooming later than before.

Miscellaneous Weapon Changes:

Camera Shakes:

• Reduced the amount of Roll and Z (vertical) jitter on a lot of third-person camera shakes.

ARs & LMGs:

All ARs and LMGs have had slight damage drop-off range increases. This comes primarily in the mid-point of the curve to extend the distance before damage begins to drop to it's absolute minimum. This should result in ARs and LMGs being slightly more efficient per-shot at mid-to-long ranges.

SMGs:

Tacoma:

• Added 3 new Underbarrel grips for the Tacoma.

AZV100:
AZV100 was overperforming in a few different departments, but mainly when it came to Headshots. Due to the way Burst Fire weapons work, simply reducing the damage didn't work well enough or feel good. As a result, the weapon has had it's base damage and Headshot damage reduced, but its Burst Cooldown (the delay between bursts firing) has also been reduced to compensate for this damage reduction. The AZV100 should feel a lot snappier to use while dealing less damage but remaining competitive.

• Damage reduced to 50 (was 60)

• Headshot multiplier reduced to 1.75x (was 2x)

• Burst Cooldown reduced to 0.225s (was 0.275s)
