  • G36C
    • General recoil reduced (for ADS and non-ADS).
  • HRG Dragonsblaze
    • Spare ammo from 48 to 60 (which means total ammo from 52 to 64).

    • Explosion radius from 300 to 200.
    • Insect damage from 40 to 30.

Designer Notes:

Blood Sickle efficiency was not enough, so we gave it a damage buff. Also, since the bash attack in Long Mode is slower, we have increased the damage for it.

G36C recoil has been troublesome for many players, so we have tweaked it and it now feels better.

HRG Dragonsblaze has been well received in general, but some users commented that they run out of ammo very quickly, so, we have increased the spare ammo a bit, which means 3 more full magazines than before.

HRG Locust felt a bit overpowered for a lot of players. We decreased the explosion and insect damage a bit as well as reduced the explosion radius.

Known Issues:

• Mouse Sensitivity: When a user updates the client for the first time, any adjustments to zoom sensitivity and sensitivity will be retained, but affect the new Horizontal and Vertical Sensitivity settings.
  • For the best experience, we recommend resetting the values to default and adjusting from there to user preference.
• Blood Sickle:
  • Heavy Attack: We are aware of some outfits causing camera clipping and are continuing to refine the animation ahead of the final release.
  • Characters hands are too close together during bash attack in 3rd person.
• G36C:
  • Laser dot does not follow barrel during clip-check animation
  • 3rd person full reload animation has some unnatural movements standing and crouching.
  • Shutter sounds missing after full reload in 3rd person
  • “Floating magazines” in 3P reload (standing/crouched)
  • Overall SFX is still WIP
• HRG Locust: VFX is still very opaque and can be visually obstructing particularly during Zed time.
• Barmwich Town:
  • Map defaults to “endless” mode.
  • Some torches in the main plaza are missing SFX
