PATCH NOTES 

This Title Update brings new in-game events and a range of fixes and improvements. The Halloween Event begins October 21, bringing new open world activity, a project chain, and Twitch Drops. We’re also adding two new Micro Events, Redline Overdrive and Expertise Surge, to give you new ways to boost your stats and progress faster. 

Vanity options have been expanded, with hoodies now compatible with hats and larger masks for more customization freedom. Based on community feedback, Retaliation activities now feature Targeted Loot, extended timers in Brooklyn, and updated Control Point rewards that now include Season XP, regular XP, and materials. 

Finally, several gear and talent issues have been resolved, including the long-awaited fix for Abridged Talent.
