Lunar New Year

2023 is the year of the Rabbit, and you'll find a new bundle alongside returning ones, available from Jan. 18 - Feb. 19!

Lunar New Year 2023 - 1499 DBC

• NS-61 "Jackrabbit" Emissary (Common Pool Sidearm)
  
• Year of the Rabbit Banner
  
• Year of the Rabbit Decal (Useable as Outfit Decal)
  

You could say that this new Emissary has a... hare trigger. But we won't. We won't say that.

Capture the Conduit

• Repository HUD indicators now blink when being overloaded.
  
• Repository now has a visible timer associated with it on the map and HUD.
  

Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

• Fixed an reload animation issues on the MG-A1 Arbalest, UBR-100 Frogman, UBR-150 Sea Lion, MGR-C1 Charger, MGR-S1 Gladius, and MGR-A1 Vanquisher.
  
• Fixed an animation issue causing some bolt-action rifles to skip rechamber animations on remote clients while walking. This issue affected the AF-8 Railjack, EM4 Longshot, LA80, NC14 Bolt Driver, SAS-R, M77-B, RAMS .50M, SR-7, and TSAR-42.
  
• Fixed an animation issue where you could enter a walking animation while sprinting, after falling from a height.
  
• Adjusted the Gauss Prime to use the Arsenal Update's actual values, which removes the innate HVA velocity and penalties.
  
• NSO speech packs no longer appear in the dropdown for non-NSO factions.
  
• Fixed typos in the Battlefield Supremacy mission.
  
• The Flak Attack mission is no longer capable of earning progress in VR Training.
  
• Disabled all "unused" missions. This change is intended to fix an issue with certain legacy missions persisting in a mission list for some players.
