Weapon Changes
Melee
The increase in hitbox means that you can hit people from a longer range. However, the left click of the melee still has more area of contact.
So now the Right-click hitboxes are 1.5x larger.
Specter
The accuracy of the specter for long-range is reduced. However, you can still run and gun close range to tilt people.
Ares
The new aris has no spin up and its fire rate is increased. Which means it equips and fires faster.
- Removed spin up
- Firing rate increased from 10 >>> 13
Guardian
The rate of fire for the Guardian without the ads is equal to that of with ads. Which means you can fire bullets at the same speed on or off ads.
- Removed firing rate penalty on ADS (Aiming Down Sight)
- Added an extra bullet before it enters a recovery curve
Bulldog
Bulldog’s hit fire has been increased which makes it a cheaper rifle to buy.

Map Changes
Bind
Bind’s A site’s entrance also known as A shot received a chance where the double box is shifted to a single box which is climbable by any agent.
Also added new boxes at the passage.
Breeze
Breeze’s A site has received a lot of change starting from the entrance. The passage’s door size is now narrow.
The backside of triple boxes is switched to a container for better angles.
The B site also received changes with adding boxes to the fake wall and back site. This reduces the long peaks and makes the side more defender side.
