Chief among these are tweaks to the Interchange location, including updated lighting, additional interactive objects, and new exfil points. Players will also note shifts to the item weight mechanic, including the weight rating for various items and debuffs for going over the carry weight limit.
There’s also now a Fatigue effect, which appears when player stamina is kept low for extended periods. But wait, there’s more: Stamina is also now split between arms and legs, with different ratings for when players are moving, throwing items, or using melee weapons.
