Main focusGameplay changes and fixes
  • Balancing changes that raise weapon damage and fixes to weapon FOV. ⚖️ Balancing General changes . Decreased ergonomics penalty on magnifying scopes weapon attachments The intent is to make magnifying scopes more a matter of preference by decreasing the penalty they impose on a weapon's ergonomics (low ergonomics makes the weapons muzzle follow the crosshair slower).
  • Some of the Pistol ammo balance update The intent with this change is to make some of the pistol rounds weapons more effective after the last pistol ammo re-balance that did make them more of a close range weapon.
  • The pistol rounds re-balance general intent is to make them more effective at close range while not more effective at long range then for example assault or marksman rifles 2x Tube Red Dot Decreased ergonomic modifier from (-3) to (-1) 4x Combat Scope Decreased ergonomic modifier from (-6) to (-2) 10x Sniper Scope Decreased ergonomic modifier from (-9) to (-4) APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle is also effected by this change so it will get an increased ergonomics from 26 to 31 Primary weapons SMG-37 Defender Increased damage from 100 to 110 Increased durable damage from 20 to 22 SMG-32 Reprimand Increased damage from 135 to 140 M7S SMG Increased damage from 80 to 90 Increased durable damage from 16 to 18 VG-70 Variable Increased dura
