Retirement
  • Retiring Hunters now grants 10,000 Bloodline XP
Developer’s note: In Update 1.16, we reduced the Bloodline XP rewards for Hunter retirement significantly—we acknowledge your frustrations with this change. With more available data and a better understanding of the implications to the Live Environment, we’ve decided to increase the XP reward to be more in line with the updated threshold for retirement. Retiring Hunters is still more difficult, but should be worthwhile pursuing again.


Other
  • Disabled certain parameters that unfairly allowed increased visibility.




  • Fixed an issue that caused a bullet to be floating in the air next to the Mako 1895 Carbine and its variants.
  • Fixed the timing on the Thundershower phases to be in line with the intended changes of Update 1.16.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Dolch 96 Deadeye to be missing a blur mask when aiming in ADS.
  • Fixed an issue with the shot audio and muzzle flash for the Springfield Krag and its variants while using Full Metal Jacket Ammo.
