User Experience Improvements
- The user is now presented with a message if they could not connect to a server due to version mismatch.
- Vote options for bot count in Checkpoint have been tweaked to allow for a higher number of bots (added an option for 20 bots per objective).

- Magazine and fire mode information is no longer constantly displayed.
Gameplay Improvements
- Checkpoint: Increased the number of bots by default.

AI Improvements

- Increased default attack delay at longer ranges for AI.

- Improved collision meshes for the reeds and cannabis plants on Panj to prevent bots from spotting players through them.
- Improved cache destruction response in Hunt. Now they will come investigate from far away if they see the explosion.
Stats Improvements
- Stats authentication has been throttled to 3 attempts per map with 15 seconds between each attempt, to hopefully reduce cases of game servers not communicating with our stats backend.
