• Improved stability when sending voice communications.

Operators 

• Addressed an issue where Bailey wasn’t holding an intended Pistol in the Operator selection menu. 

MULTIPLAYER

Maps 

• Nuketown
  • Nuketown is now available in Private Matches.  

Modes 

• Addressed an issue where players were spawned in when joining a session in progress instead of spectating before selecting a Loadout. Yes, we saw ourselves in a Killcam before selecting a Loadout too.  
• Improved stability in Infected game mode.  

Spawns

• General spawn logic tuning across several maps for improved spawning.

Spawn tuning will be an ongoing process of taking in data, reviewing gameplay and making measured adjustments in the live environment. Our number one goal is to always provide the safest spawn that we can across all maps and game modes. 

Loadouts 

• Addressed an issue where players would automatically equip their previously used Loadout when joining matches already in progress. 
• Addressed an issue where Players would die at initial spawn when selecting their Loadout. 

Weapons

It’s been awesome seeing players discover and share their favorite weapon builds during the first week of launch. Every day we monitor both player feedback and game data to keep tabs on how the weapon meta is evolving and prepare for a comprehensive tuning pass in Season 01.

We have seen the discussions about the relative balance of Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns, and we are making some early, general changes to adjust their effective ranges. For ARs, we are pulling in minimum damage ranges and lessening the impact of headshots at close range. SMGs are receiving damage range increases to improve their mid-range effectiveness. 

 

Perks 

• Recon Combat Specialty 
  • Reduced duration that enemies are highlighted after respawning to 1.5 seconds from 2 seconds. An additional reduction will be coming before Season 01. 
  • Resolved an issue that allowed players to activate Recon Combat Specialty by changing Loadouts. 
• Dispatcher 
  • Increased Dispatcher Perk score cost for UAV from 500 to 550. 
  • Increased Dispatcher Perk score cost for Counter UAV from 550 to 600. 

As we head into Season 1, we are continuing to observe data and feedback for Perks and Combat Specialties in Multiplayer. Currently, Enforcer is the most popular Combat Specialty with Recon in second place. It's not just about the data though, as your feedback is a critical part of how we approach tuning of the live game. With that said, we are making some spot adjustments today as we as we continue to take a holistic look at our Perks and Combat Specialties moving forward.
