Intel XeSS can be enabled for GPUs that support DirectX 12, That's basically all modern graphic cards.
To be able to enable it, make sure to disable other upscaling options such as FSR 1 or FSR 2.
By default, LIGHTNING will still be using the FSR 1.0 for being stable and less heavy than the other two options.

Introducing the new Procedurally Generated map "Cloud", Meaning it's different every time you play.
Being an Esport FPS, The different thing about this new map is that the common locations such as the Bomb sites and Spawns are static Instead of being procedural. So they're memorable and having no blind spots for defending and re-takes.
"Cloud" is available for all modes except the Horde mode.
NEW TRAINING ENVIRONMENT
Training map now has a dynamic kill house course, using procedural tech to fully generate the layout, meaning it's different every time you enter the training environment. This enables practicing clearing corners without the predictable layout.
This environment is a new addition to the "Training Ground" map.
1.NEW AIMING SYSTEM The first new feature is the C.A.R Aiming system, known as Point Aiming in LIGHTNING. Pushing more into the tactical gameplay. Checkout the demonstration: How this new aiming system works? More accurate than hip-fire, best for accurate first few shots. This ai
1.NEW AIMING SYSTEM
The first new feature is the C.A.R Aiming system, known as Point Aiming in LIGHTNING. Pushing more into the tactical gameplay.
More accurate than hip-fire, best for accurate first few shots. This aiming system pulls the gun to the center in a way that you are looking over the barrel.
How is it different from hip firing?
Point Aiming is more accurate even at distance. but cannot make the hip-firing obsolete.
POINT AIMING
Pro:
Very accurate for the first few shots.
No Zooming, maintains your perspective.
Better view of your perspective.
Cons:
Loses accuracy fast after a few shots.
Reduced walk speed.
No leaning to sides.
HIP-FIRE
Pro:
Can maintain the recoil for long rapid firing.
No effects on walk speed.
No limits to leaning.
Cons:
First few shots aren't as accurate.
Could Potentially block viewing a portion of the right side.
By pulling the gun to the center you'll have a clear perspective to both side of the screen, LIGHTNING being a competitive shooter, this is specially beneficial in a competitive environment where you need as much info of your surrounding as possible.
A viable stance if you don't want to ADS but want to have good accuracy, making it very superior in certain situations and also a tactical choice.
2.DETAILED COMBAT REPORT
Second Feature in this update is a detailed Combat Report
In round-based modes, upon losing a gun fight and entering the spectator mode you will see a detailed report with an all new simulation of when each part of the body got hit in order.
You can see that each damage node gives a total damage done to that part along with hit order and showing damage for each individual hits.
This Update is one of the many similar updates to come in order to ultimately make LIGHTNING the better FPS and Esport experience.
And that sums up the new update, Stay tuned for more intel.

Hello and Greetings!
Introducing the main competitive mode, A well-known match for the competitive scene.
What is Economy mode?
Round-based 5v5, with a focus on tactical play and currency management. weapons and their attachments plus utilities will be bought at the start of each round with match-earned prestige.
Any bought Attachments will be available team-wide and also throughout the match until the second half where the team switch happens and everything gets a reset.
Attachment accessibility is this way so the actual gun has more weight in deciding a gunfight, meaning attachments will play a lesser role here due to how widely and fast they will become accessible to the team.
On the other hand, firearms along with owned utilities will be dropped upon death and will be accessible to anyone else for picking up.
Character abilities however limited, are also a deciding factor in each round.
The Economy UI comes with extensive weapons and attachments stat display, Stay tuned for more in depth explanation.
