  • Resolved an issue where players who were killed close to obstacles such as walls or water were unable to be revived

    • Reduced bullet damage at max Fall Off distance to 6

    • Greatly reduced health regeneration delay and speed
    • Increased missile damage against vehicles and infantry
    • The drone is now able to roadkill enemies
  • Breakthrough matches will now correctly end after the last sector has been captured

If you find the changes for today a bit lacking, there’s a TON more changes and gameplay tweaks set for Update #3, and there’s even a preliminary look that includes a ton of info.
