1.1.1.0
1 Buff 2 Nerf 3 Changed Patch notes ↗

The Season 1 launch patch. Headline gameplay work is the weapon-dispersion rework and the new non-Recon sniper handling penalty; the rest is a large movement/animation, visibility and audio overhaul plus character hitbox realignment (out of scope here). Season 1 Battle Pass content was not itemised in this article.

Weapons

  • Changed Weapon Dispersion Gunplay Dispersion reworked to track each weapon's damage profile
    • Weapon dispersion has been rebalanced to better match each weapon's damage profile across all ranges. Lower-damage weapons will now see a slightly higher increase in dispersion when firing, while higher-damage weapons will experience slightly less.

  • Changed Sniper Rifles (non-Recon) Gunplay Spread penalty swapped for sway during zoom transition
    • Using Sniper Rifles with any class other than Recon will no longer increase weapon spread. Instead, weapon sway will now begin during the zoom transition, maintaining balance and distinguishing Recon's precision advantage.
