We’ve spent the last two weeks reading reviews, Discord discussions and feedback from every corner of the internet – this update is the culmination of all that. Here’s everything that happened:
Besides fixing a ton of minor issues, we added a lot of Quest 2 specific graphical improvements, overhauled the lighting and overall environment decor of the open maps in ‘Operation Woodpecker’, fine-tuned the AI even more to make the overall difficulty a bit harder, added volume control for sound effects/narration and improved the Loadout UI interface.
