Hunters,

Choke Bomb:
- Increased Choke Bomb duration to 60 seconds (previously 30 seconds)

Gameplay
- Tutorial: Bleeding audio does not stop after respawning in tutorial if player was also poisoned at the time of death.
- Quickplay: Weapon might not be lootable from killed player.

Visuals & Audio
- Players may experience issues with textures appeaing to pop in and out more frequently than on live (this is due to slower streaming of textures).
