Infantry Weapon Changes
- The majority of infantry weapons have been adjusted to better even out the performance of the different types. Assault rifles, carbines, and small magazine LMGs have had their equip speeds and reload times tuned to allow them to be more competitive with the larger magazine LMGs. Short range assault rifles and carbines are being reduced in effectiveness at long range. Long range weapons are being increased in effectiveness through individual weapon tuning and related attachment changes. Burst variants are now more accurate. Exact changes are detailed below.
Weapon Misc. Changes
- Increased the hold breath time by 1 second when looking through a 6x or higher scope.
- All rocket launchers now have a short delay between ammo pickups from engineer ammunition packs.
- All shotguns with a 20 meter max damage range had that max range reduced to 18 meters.
- Fixed a bug that was causing pump-action shotguns to start their chamber timer early. This will result in the below weapons having a longer delay between each shot.
- NC GD-66 Claw
- NC LA39 Bruiser
- TR TRS-12 Uppercut
- TR TAS-16 Blackjack
- VS Phobos VX86
- VS Deimos VA29
Weapon Equip Times
- All Assault Rifles except the below: 0.75 to 0.65 seconds
- NC Reaper DMR: 0.875 to 0.78 seconds
- All Carbine Rifles except the below: 0.575 to 0.55 seconds
- NC AC-X11: 0.7 to 0.65 seconds
- All Sniper Rifles: 0.75 to 0.85 seconds

- LMG equip times are more varied and will be listed below.
Weapon Attachment Changes
Compensator
- Increased vertical recoil reduction on all weapons.
Suppressor
- Carbines: These now slow the projectile by 35%, instead of the previous 40%.
- SMGs: These now slow the projectile by 20%, increased from 18%.
Velocity Ammunition
- The velocity increase from this ammo type was increased on the majority of weapon types. The benefit given differs per weapon.
Forward Grips
- LMG Forward Grips no longer reduce vertical recoil.
- Weapons with direction recoil will now lean more toward center when a forward grip is attached.
- The maximum horizontal recoil cap is now lowered when a grip is attached.
- All forward grips now have an equip penalty. It ranges from 20ms to 150ms, depending on the weapon, with long range weapons and weapons with an innate slow equip speed being penalized less. In general, it drops all weapons down by one weight class. For example, fast equipping 50 round LMGs will drop to the equip speed of 75 round LMGs.
Grenade & Smoke Launchers
- These now have a 4 second delay between ammo pickups from engineer ammunition packs.
6x Scopes
- All 6x scopes now have weapon sway.
