Test Server - Update 1.11

Hunters,

Below are the notes for Update 1.11.

Before we get into the detailed notes, We wanted to provide an update regarding the persistent reload issues that have been encountered by many of you. As mentioned in a recent video update (which can be found on our social channels), we understand these issues have beenfrustrating and wanted to let you know that they are a top priority for us, and the team has been working to try and resolve them as quickly as possible.

Over the last few weeks (in the lead up to 1.11), we have attempted several fixes internally in the hope to resolve the issue. Despite our efforts, we have not found a solution that can be integrated into this update without causing other issues to appear in its place (for example, the Lemat bug/exploit from a few months ago).

Due to this, we have determined that a systemic approach is required to permanently resolve these issues. This is not an easy task and will take some time to complete. We will be sure to keep you updated on our progress as soon as we have further information.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve these issues.

Audio

• Implemented a subtle cue for other Hunter Footsteps to indicate whether they are above, below, or on the same level as the player.
  
  • This cue is only audible when the player is in the same building as the other Hunter.
    
  • It is only audible when the other hunter is moving over a wooden floor.
• Audio Design improvement pass on door sounds. They should sound more naturalistic and believable now.

Gunplay

• Flashbang: Optimized Flashbangs to prevent rare situations where a Player might receive a hitmarker for a successful full flash, but the enemy would not actually receive a full flash.
  
• Sparks Silencer: Adjusted default ammo and FMJ ammo to have a higher effective range (from 144/152 to 169/184).
  
• Vetterli Silencer: Adjusted default ammo and FMJ ammo to have a higher effective range (from 133/147 to 150/176).
  Developer's Note:
  As we increased the effective range of the Winfield M1873C Silencer in Update 1.10 it overlapped with the Vetterli 71 Karabiner Silencer. As a result, we have also increased the effective range of the Vetterli 71 Karabiner Silencer and the Sparks LRR Silencer.
  
• Caldwell Pax and Pax Claw: Increased fire rate and decreased upwards recoil while using Fanning trait.
  
• Shotguns: Adjusted basic ammo and Penny Shot ammo damage to allow for a further one shot kill range of Grunts and Hellhounds.
