• Ranked Play Changes

  • Sniper rifles have been restricted and removed from the weapon pool in Ranked Play.

• Zombies Mode Fixes

  • Various fixes have been made to the Zombies mode, including addressing an issue with PhD Flopper.

Players can now enjoy improved control and new strategies with the modified weapons. Additionally, the removal of sniper rifles from Ranked Play will create a different dynamic for competitive matches. Make sure to update your game to experience these changes.
