BUG FIXES

• Cosmetics
  • 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.
  • Removed icon from feared bundle tile while bundle is owned.
  • Resolved discoloration of offer tile while gifting a flex.
  • Resolved performance issue where having a large friends list was causing slight lag.

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.
