Skimming through the patch notes, this update includes a number of smaller fixes for bugs that have cropped up throughout the game, such asthe invulnerable gas mask glitch. There is also a fix for self-revive not appearing on the UI after players purchase it from a Buy Station, something that was costly when a player would go down and not remember their purchase.
With every substantial update, players are actively searching for ways that the update might shake up the meta of the game. Theintroduction of the FiNN LMGto the game shows that the swing towards the LMG category is in full effect.

Developers attempt to fix the issues that crop up to restore faith amongst the player base.
