Since half the world is stuck indoors right now, we figured this would be a good time to give you all a nice little a boost. All players will get +30% EXP, +30% Ammo Loot Quantity and +50% Elite Find Chance from now until Easter (and maybe even longer than that). Note that there won't be any Weekend Events while this is running.

Stay safe <3

• It is now possible to stop left click from triggering Kick when changing controls
  
• UI has been shrunk slightly so that larger menus fit properly at all resolutions
  
• An exploit that allowed you to constantly switch between sprint and sneak without being noticed has been fixed
