5.56mm Designated Marksman Rifles (DMR)According to the stats, the usage rate of the two weapons using 5.56mm was far below our expectations. However, we hope the following minor changes make them more appealing and used more frequently. Moreover, we have changed the position of the Mk12 as a high-end DMR.
MK12 Since the damage-related update, players still found it challenging to handle. Therefore, we improved the recoil recovery value to ensure stability like the Mini14 Increased recoil recovery Re-balanced the recoil related speed Mini 14 The Mini14 continues to show steady selection rate due to its distinct traits – therefore, its damage has been slightly improved. Damage 47 → 48 MortarWe’ve constantly listened to your feedback since the Mortar was introduced as a Taego-only weapon. Unfortunately, contrary to our expectations, the Mortar definitely wasn’t one of the most favored weapons. It didn’t take us long to figure out the reason. When deploying it on the surface, it had many limitations, aiming was too complicated, and even the ammo was hard to find. It doesn’t end there; it occupies one main weapon slot, which many players found not to be worth it. However, we are still seeing a lot of feedback about how attractive a weapon the Mortar is. In this iteration of the Mortar, we applied the following changes to unlock its hidden potential.
It can now be deployed on any terrain, except when the deploy angle is not secured or on water, including small puddles. Asphalt, Concrete, Iron, Grass, Sand, Snow, Ice, Rock, etc. Available on Normal matches: Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Karakin, Paramo, Taego. Due to its distinct map characteristics, Mortar is not available on Haven. Now the Mortar takes up the inventory slot and the weight is set to 50. It can be picked up and stored in the inventory again after use. Picking the Mortar up with a primary weapon in hand will automatically have you swap to the Mortar. Picking the Mortar up with bare hands (with two primary weapons holstered) will place the Mortar in the inventory. Swapping a primary weapon out with the Mortar in the inventory screen will have you drop the primary weapon. Picking up the Mortar when the player is not equipped with any weapons will place the Mortar to the first primary weapon slot. Ammo weight is lowered to 20 in lieu of the previous 30 Ammo spawns in a stack of 3- 5 in lieu of the previous 1 – 3 (Console) UX changes Put into inventory: A key (Xbox, Stadia) / X key (PlayStation®) Unequipping: X key (Xbox, Stadia) / ▢ key (PlayStation®) Can not equip to primary weapon slot by looting it from the ground or trunk of a vehicle. Map ServiceWe are currently preparing a more flexible system for our map services. With that being said, a separate Map Service Plan announcement will not be released as we believe it’s a bit too early to announce our upcoming plans. However, we will continue to announce the map service updates for the current patch through the Patch Notes.
