Changes
Adjusted the game server launch mechanics to speed up the process of the creation of rooms for matches and getting players into the raid;
Adjusted the raid completion mechanics and the display of post-raid statistics to speed up the process of leaving the raid after its completion;
Optimized the launch speed of the game client and menu loading;
Added a permanent display of the Zubr boat departure timer to the final part of the Terminal;
Updated the DLSS to version 4.5, and added support for new Presets.
Changes to weapon attachments
Adjusted the stats of most weapon attachments, i.e. muzzle devices, magazines, grips, and buttstocks. Our goal was to bridge the gap between the most popular, high-tier attachments and those that are currently rarely used.
Muzzle devices
Flash hiders, muzzle brakes, and similar attachments now reduce recoil more effectively;
Suppressors, including their combos with various muzzle brakes, now have a smaller impact on recoil. In exchange, their ergonomics penalty has been reduced.
These changes are aimed at addressing the current prevalence of suppressors, which are used almost universally. We want players to make a choice when building weapons: better recoil control with a muzzle brake versus relative stealth with a suppressor.
Magazines
Adjusted the bonuses and penalties of all existing magazines into a more consistent system. The impact of high-capacity magazines on weapon ergonomics has been reduced. Load, unload, and check speed modifiers have also been significantly adjusted.
Magazines that are the only available option for compatible weapons, such as machine gun boxes, now have significantly softer penalties to ergonomics and other stats.
Grips and buttstocks
Narrowed the stat gap between different pistol grips, front grips, and buttstocks. Late-game attachments still slightly outperform their budget counterparts, but the difference is much smaller than it was before.
We believe this will allow players to make builds based on visual preference among other things, eliminating the established flow of "good" and "bad" attachments.
