Gameplay

To heighten the sense of satisfaction and impact when landing a headshot, we’ve added a new visual effect that causes the helmet to be knocked off upon impact.
- If a weapon is used to land a headshot and the helmet’s durability is reduced to 0, the helmet will be knocked off.

Ascender Attachment and Utility Parachute are now provided as basic equipment on every map.
- Ascender Attachment and Utility Parachute icons that occupied their own Inventory slots have been removed.
- Utility Parachutes can be used any time on every map.
- The Ascender Attachment can be used where Ascenders are attached.
With the Utility Parachutes available everywhere, the Emergency Parachute has been removed from Miramar and Haven.
If a player disconnects before the plane drop, their parachute will now automatically follow the player with the next number after theirs.
- Example: If you are Player 4, you will follow Player 1.
- If you had previously chosen a player to follow before disconnecting, you will continue to follow them.
- Once you reconnect while on the plane, you will automatically follow a player.
- Only players who have not yet dropped from the plane can be chosen to follow.
