- Bullets now use 500% less memory, are more optimized for close range combat. Prototyping on basic assault rifle only
- Bullets now travel 30% faster and have slightly increased range before dropping. This is to simulate high end bullet speed in the next release; please report any issues you have.Prototyping on basic assault rifle only
- Increased the accuracy for rate of fire calculations
- Adjusted network replication (bullets fired from the basic assault rifle should lag less)
Bug fixes

- Fixed a bug where the player would have to click a second time after using a menu to be able to turn
