Patch Highlights
Ping System
See an enemy? Want your teammate to move to a specific location? You can now just ping it! To aim a ping, hold down your mag eject key and to shoot a ping, press down your trigger key. This can be done with any hand that is not holding anything.Firearm hints
Ever get stuck on how to reload a specific gun? Or new to the game? The hint system will highlight exactly what you need to do in order to jump right into the action. But if you are a veteran, it can be disabled in the settings.New magnified optics shader
The new magnified optics shader is not only more performant than our previous one but much more immersive. It is a big visual gain as we decided to implement the physical phenomena that occurs inside real scopes such as lens distortion, subtle iridescence, specific multicolor lens coating and realistic front sight post ghosting. Additionally, the effect is much more reminiscent of a true optic with its lens structure being represented inside the shader only and not using any additional meshes.
