    • We’ve made some updates to several scope reticles to make them more consistent in the center range of view with the base scope reticle. Here is the list of updated skins: Kuronami Marshal, EX.O Marshal, Nocturnum Marshal, Araxys Outlaw and Operator. Thanks to Grimm for the feedback!
  • Store
    • Gifting ineligibility screen now extends the full width of the screen.
    • Fixed various clipping issues when at the purchase confirm step while purchasing a gun buddy.
    • Fixed header text coloring on purchase confirm screen.
    • Fixed various inconsistencies with bundle detail buttons.
    • Fixed issue that caused sprays to appear darkened when previewing in the purchase flow.
    • Bundle carousels are now a consistent height across all points of the purchase flow.

    • Resolved discoloration of offer tile while gifting a flex.

PC ONLY

GENERAL UPDATES

  • The settings screens have been revamped to improve functionality and visual clarity
    • Added parent-child association for related settings
    • Added hover tooltips
    • Settings previously under General - Other are broken into 3 sections: User Interface, Content Filtering, Network
    • Visual refresh
  • We understand some of you quickly adjust settings during games, and we didn’t want to jeopardize that experience. The experience should largely feel the same but with improved QOL.
