Changes and Fixes
Plenty of changes and fixes have been made to the game in a variety of different areas. For example, when you get a duplicate item upon opening a field locker, you’ll receive less Veritanium than you did before the update. Another change sees the boar’s health and run speed lowered from its previous stats. There are many balance changes such as these.
A big change that you’ll notice more visibly, however, is that there are now fewer Medical Stations and Ammo Crates in each map. You’ve got to be more careful from now on. The number of AI spawning during missions and at defense points has been reduced, too.
Getting into online matches should now be a smoother experience, too. The Predator queue time estimates should now be more accurate than they were before the update. Read through the full list of patch notes below to see everything that has been fixed and changed.
