We recognize this may seem like an extreme nerf but the intention of this change is to bring it more in line with what we expect of close range weapons and akimbo attachments. It was outperforming other close-range options, and this change is intended to keep the close-range meta healthy without an obvious outlier.

  • Shots no longer queue during the overheat cooldown, to prevent accidental fire.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented free-to-play players from using voice and text chat.
  • Fixed an issue where the Comb attachments used by the Battle-Scar Conversion could remain on the weapon after removing the Conversion attachment.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when navigating to the COR-45 aftermarket part in the Gunsmith.
  • Fixed an issue where the pre-match loading screen did not display objectives across multiple modes.
