>Crouch benefits spread and recoil reduced from 40% >>> 25%
2. Melee
>The melee’s been too tricky to aim with, making it tough to rely on. So we’ve updated both left and right-click melee attacks for more reliable Agent-whacking action.
>Right click hitboxes are now 1.5x larger. Left-click hitboxes are now larger than a right click and have a slightly longer range too.
>Targets closer to the center of your knife attacks will get hit first, so you still have precision if you need it.
>Bonus: Knifing walls now have instant feedback when slicing up walls (predicted on the client side)
3. Bugs
>Fixed a bug where the Origin collection idle Animations weren’t playing for some levels and variants in Spectator mode
4. Esports Features
>Fixed an issue where observer player hotkeys would change after side-swap.
5. Performance
>Fixed an issue where performance charts that require NVIDIA Reflex were displayed and could not be hidden.
Social Updates
>Muted Word List is a new section you will find in your settings where you can type in variations of words/phrases
>For example: Let’s say “Riot” is a bad word (scary, I know). Our detection may catch the word “Riot” as one that should be blocked and penalized, but there’s a variety of different ways to spell Riot that we may not be catching: R!ot, R!0t, Ri0t, etc.
And no, you won’t get “League of Legends” banned from chat
>we can leverage the lists that you and others create to make the chat less toxic by comparing them across regions.
