It's finally happening: Grand Theft Auto 6 is really going to be released next month, as the game is said to be already in the hands of some reviewers (not us, sorry!).

Multiplayer Bug Fixes

• Fixed a visual issue where the Mosin-Nagant’s firing pin could appear in the incorrect position after firing the final round.

• Improved UAV visibility on Sentry.

• Fixed an issue where certain Melee Kills, Backstabs, and Takedowns were not tracking correctly for some Challenges.

• Increased the maximum range cutoff for Point Blank Challenge tracking.

• Updated the Quick Fix Perk hitmarker icon.

DMZ Updates

Possum Trait Changes

The Possum Trait is intended to give high-level Operators a second chance at survival. However, it was being used as a combat mechanic rather than a survival mechanic.

• Players can no longer activate Possum while the team that killed them is nearby.

• Players must wait four minutes before activating Possum when the required conditions are not met.

• The developers will continue monitoring the trait and may adjust its range and duration in future updates.

DMZ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Possum could revive players who had already abandoned their Operator, leaving them in an unplayable state.

• Fixed an issue where players could encounter a black screen after their entire squad was eliminated while a teammate had the Possum Perk equipped.

• Fixed an issue where using the 3D Printer to add items to the Backpack during deployment could cause players to enter DMZ without their Free Loadout weapons or equipment.

• Closed several exploits in DMZ.

• Fixed an issue where weapons could unintentionally drop when moved from the Primary Weapon slot to the Backpack.

• Fixed an issue where players were not receiving the 3-Plate Armor Vest reward upon reaching DMZ Level 37.

• Fixed an issue where weapons could disappear after repeatedly swapping between weapon slots while using a Backpack with weapon storage.

• Fixed an issue where the Airbase Access Card could not be upgraded during a Story Mission if it was stored in the Secure Slot.

• Fixed an issue where automatically marked Order mission items could lose their Ping markers after players pinged a loot container.
