  • Players will now receive a fixed stack of Weapon ammo from Munitions Boxes regardless of how much they already have.
  • To clarify, Lethal and Tactical Equipment will still only Refill to the maximum the Player can hold in their active Loadout slots.

Both of the above Quality of Life improvements for the Armor Box and Munitions Box are designed to improve the gameplay loop, where previously you would have to remember to drop your Armor Plates and Ammo in order to fill them, whereas now you are awarded the maximum amount regardless as to your current number.

• Vehicle Fuel

• Gas Circle Finale Behavior
  • The number of “Moving Circles” in the final phase of a match has been decreased to 2, down from 4.
  • These circles move and collapse in size slower than before.

The “pull” is an interesting peak in the climax of combat, however it has often decided the finale due to a lucky pull in a squads favor. This change keeps the need to reposition but enables a wider, slower rotation to take a more even fight.

• Gulag
  • The time to capture the overtime flag has been increased to 4 seconds, up from 3 seconds.

• Vehicle Fuel
  • The Heavy Chopper no longer catches fire when it runs out of fuel. Instead, it will now drop out of the air, surviving if close enough to the ground
