Furthermore, this latest patch fixes an out of bounds exploit on Aniyah Palace, as well as a bug that could lock a PC player’s FOV at 60 until they respawn while in Ground War. Moreover, it fixes a bug that allowed player collision, and a bug that could give players invincibility.

The January 22nd update also comes with some PC-specific tweaks and fixes. For instance, it packs several fixes to prevent crashes and improve stability. It also fixes an issue with the sound effects on the Support Helo.

What’s New
  • Playlist Update: Added Capure the Flag and Shoot the Ship (Removes Shoot House 24/7) playlists! We also added Aniyah Palace back into rotation
  • 5 additional loadout slots!
  • New Weapon – Crossbow! Unlocked by using a Marksman Rifle with a Reflex Optic, get 5 kills in 25 different matches!
General

  • Fix for a bug that could lock a PC player’s FOV at 60 until they respawn while in Ground War

  • Fixed an issue where the Elite Xbox One controller had a slight bounce back with the analog sticks
  • Fixed a bug that could give players invincibility
  • Fix for some Officer Progression emblems not displaying the correct rarity

Weapons

  • Increasing the bullet penetration of the MK2 Carbine
