It's been a quiet week thanks to some of the team taking well-earned vactions, but we've been working on important improvements to gunplay, as well as starting work on the new caves, polishing the Lighthouse, and more.

• Muzzleflash smoke effect hidden when in ADS
  
• ADS lowers near clip plane (less viewmodel clipping)
  
• Weapon FOV lowered (stubbier guns)
  
• Viewmodel sway is snappier and aims ahead of your look point
  
• Much smaller muzzle flashes
  
• Less bright muzzle flashes
  
• Bone armor buffed 10%
  
• Reduced diminishing xp for finding loot and harvesting
  
• Tracers once again visible in first person
  
• Reduced horizontal recoil of semi auto rifle
  
• Candle/Miner hat use half as much fuel
