Limited-Time Mode - Armed and Dangerous
- Shotguns and Snipers only
  - Enabled Guns: Mozambique, Peacekeeper, EVA-8, Longbow, G7, Triple Take
- Attachments not used by Snipers or Shotguns are disabled
- Gold variants of weapons spawn in High Tier loot zones and in airdrops
- Kraber and Mastiff loot values are tuned so they spawn in late-game airdrops and very rarely as ground loot (1-2 per game each)
- Reduced Armor
  - Disabled Loot: Armor (Blue/Purple/Gold), Helmets (Blue/Purple/Gold)
  - Spawn rate for Common Armor and Helmets is reduced.
- Ground Loot Drop Chances are reduced by 45% (Supply Bins are not affected by this)
- Bullet Counts and Stacks are modified
  - Light Rounds: 16 per drop, 32 per inventory slot
  - Energy Rounds: 16 per drop, 32 per inventory slot
  - Heavy Rounds: 7 per drop, 14 per inventory slot
  - Shotgun Rounds: 7 per drop, 28 per inventory slot
- Overall, loot density is reduced, but ammo/weapon spawn rates are increased and stack sizes are increased to offset the loot scarcity and allow players to have enough ammo to not discourage combat.
- Increased spawn rates for syringes to compensate for lower loot density.
- Reduced spawn rates for shield batteries to match rarity of armor.

BUG FIXES

Fixed a bug where sometimes a player’s reward would not display properly after completing a challenge that awards crafting metals.
Fixed a bug where sometimes players would see a different rare skin equipped to the Legend they are spectating when hanging from a ledge.
Fixed some issues related to script errors.
[Xbox] Fixed issue where sometimes players would have issues connecting to a match at the same time as their party forcing them to join Legend Select late with Legends already locked.
[PS4] code fixes to address crashes related to out of memory issues.
Fixed a bug where sometimes players would still be in an out of bounds state when they are not actually out of bounds.

QUALITY OF LIFE

info and allows for direct navigation to the website or store.
Added Auto Sprint feature to all platforms that can be turned on or off. This is disabled by default and can be changed in the Settings menu.
Players can now adjust Aim Down Sight look sensitivity per optic zoom level.
Visual improvements to Legends in the Lobby and Character Select screen
Increased overall brightness.
Softer/lighter shadows.
Improved reflections on hard surfaces.
Improved detail and contrast to textures.
Added UI to the Spectator View that lets players easily tell if they are spectating a squadmate or enemy.
Added setting to disable weapon auto switching when ammo runs out.
WEAPONS
Increased projectile width for the TripleTake
SMG weapons are no longer compatible with the 3x HCOG and 2x-4x variable ACOG scopes.
Note from design: Our goal with this change is to better define weapon archetypes and improve the looting experience so that players aren’t accidentally picking up a long range site for a close range weapon that they have to manually remove.
