Welcome Soldiers!
Our latest hotfix is out and aims to resolve various stability, performance, gameplay and visual issues since the 0.13 release.
Gameplay
Changes
- Rally Point Refactor: Rally Points are now called Spawn Points in-game.
- Spawn Points visuals were updated to include a large flag and are now easier to locate
- No longer destroyed by enemies who walk near. Previously they were destroyed once an enemy was within a certain proximity to them.
- Added contextual interaction, enemy players can now destroy them by interacting with the rally point object itself (holding the “F” key by default)
- Added damage check so that rally points can also be destroyed by explosives (cannot be destroyed by friendly fire)
- Removed smoke grenades from recruit roles
- Reduced movement speed in barbed wire from 95 to 35. It should now be quicker in most cases to cut barbed wire than move through it
- Reduced MOA spread on MG-08 emplacement from 50 to 30
- Reduced MOA spread on Vickers HMGs from 50 to 30
- Removed ability to lock sections and prevent other players from joining them. Since the number of sections that can be created is finite, this was done to avoid trolling where a few players could create multiple locked sections to prevent large amounts of players on their team from being able to join and access better roles. Players can still kick players from their section if they’d like to make a private section with others.
Fixes
- Fix for Stosstrupp SL being unable to select their MP-18 loadout
