[h2]GENERAL CHANGES
[/h2]
[h3]GENERAL FIXES & CHANGES:[/h3]

• Clan invites now show you who invited you to the clan.
  
• Fixed a bug causing vehicles to not respawn.
  
• Added Trunk Storage to vehicles. They will have a similar system to the Personal Locker, but on wheels! Each vehicle has a different amount of slots and no weight restrictions.
  
• Fixed a bug that would allow players to shoot their Shotguns inside safezones (it still did no damage to other players).
  
• Fixed a bug that causes the player to get stuck on random objects forcing the player to jump.
  
• Fixed a building with some windows you could walk through from the inside.
  
• Removed 4th of July Missions and Content.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Airport Towers where you would be able to shoot through the walls.
  
• Zombie Damage from Flashlight has been increased.
  
• Fixed the missing model from the Amphetamine vaccine.
  
• M40A1 Remington 700 can now hold 5 bullets.
  

[h3]SERVER CHANNELS REWORK:
[/h3]In order to better categorize and organize all our game modes with their subtypes (such as PVP, or Warmup in Arcade) we have restructured the internal layout. This will make future game mode or sub-game mode updates more reliable and faster to develop. Players should not notice any difference on how the server browsing works.



[h3]GENERAL CHANGES[/h3]

• Statistics previously not counted will now count towards the Top 1-10 Skins.
  
• When selecting Survival, you will not be prompted with the same screen as in Arcade, where you can choose which kind of servers you'd like to view. They will be limited to Official, Private and Premium Servers.
  
• Changed the weight of the Armor Plates from 3.0kg to 1.5kg.
  
• Added more collision walls around the Airport.

[h2]REWORK[/h2]
We are doing some changes to the Battle Royale mode and its systems.
Here are a few things we will be changing:

• Battle Royale Server code has been rewritten Note from the developer: The Battle Royale gamemode was created back in 2016, designed as a mini gamemode in mind. This made it extremely hard to work on, add features or fix bugs. It has now been recoded as a real gamemode, giving us more control over any of it's features and/or optimizations.
• Reworked Radiation System: The Radiation system has been reworked in order to become more dynamic and smarter. It will start at a random area on the map, then will decrease within it. However, it will not be reduced exactly in the center. It will be randomly placed inside the new area.
  That will prevent players from being able to know exactly where the center will be when the match starts.
  
• Changed some UI elements and sounds: To reflect the changes with the radiation, the UI elements that display radiation on the minimaps and some sounds have been adjusted to match the new system.
  

[h2]GENERAL FIXES & CHANGES[/h2]
Statistics previously not counted will now count towards the Top 1-10 Skins, including previous.
Fixed a bug playing the airdrop sound in Battle Royale when a airdrop is opened by a player.

[h2]MAPS[/h2]
[h3]TROPICO (REWORK)[/h3]
In addition to the major changes to the whole BR System, the Tropico map has gone through a rework as well.

• Loot and loot placement has been improved.
  
• Made changes to the level design to make it easier to survive and protect yourself with hills and buildings.

[h3]Warmup queue[/h3]

• Added a Warmup Server for players waiting for a competitive match.
  
• They work similar to the Battle Royale queue system.
