Weapons

Weapon Changes

• All first-person sights are now usable in both first and third-person for Assault Rifles, Marksman Rifles, LMGs, SMGs, and Sniper Rifles.
• New settings let you customize first-person or third-person mode per sight magnification, with default presets to ensure a smooth experience.

Reminder: Toggle between first-person and third-person by pressing Y on Keyboard or ADS+Emote on Controller.

First Person Sights

• Larger sights (e.g., sniper scopes) have been decluttered and slightly reduced in size to enhance peripheral vision and reduce claustrophobia in first-person view.
• Smaller sights (like ACOGs) have been slightly enlarged for improved visibility without changing zoom levels.,
• Previously third-person-only sights have received initial sizing and framing updates, with further tweaks planned based on player feedback.
• Aim timings and scope accuracy have been improved for faster ADS and tighter accuracy, reducing stray shots during quick-scoping.
• Added subtle weapon and hand movement during player movement and aiming in first-person view to enhance visual quality.

Crosshair

• Crosshair opacity increased for improved visibility during chaotic on-screen action, making it easier to track.

Magazine Sizes

• Magazine sizes have been rebalanced to align with the game's updated time-to-kill, correcting previously oversized ammo counts on high-fire-rate weapons. Rounds needed to knock targets generally follow: Compact 55-60%, Default 45-50%, Extended 35-40%, Drum 30-35%, with LMGs having lower thresholds (Compact 30-35%, Default 20-25%, Extended 18-20%, Drum 15-16%).
