Update – May 7, 2022

Today’s update includes an all-new advanced settings menu, bugfixes for first person gameplay, optimizations, and other tweaks.

Weapons

  • M42 Vindicator: Increased Sarge’s Vindicator Damage skill from 2 to 3.
  • X33 Damage Amplifier: Now applies 1.1 seconds of damage buff per pulse, unless the amp would expire sooner, so damage buff pulses overlap.

  • IAF Medical Amplifier Gun: Fixed the reload button causing this gun to lose its ammo.
  • IAF Medical SMG: Bots will switch away from this gun if they are trying to heal and have no secondary ammo.
