After that, a wide variety of different big fixes can be noted in gameplay including the fact that players were able to glitch through walls after manipulation a move with Exit Rappel and Breach Charges.

Some players who used this particular bug might be a bit disappointed to find out that they can no longer skip reload animations as you pick up or swap out your weapons.

With respect to level design, several changes were also made including a stud now being visible in 2F Attic as well as in 1F Security Corridor of the Oregan map. A few texture flickers on the carpet in 1F Open Area of the Consulate map were fixed as well as all of the various diffuser planting and pickup issues.

With respect to the user experience, a few things were also changed including Ram's default uniform having a few visual issues, various UI issues, and various spectator mode issues.
