Update 1.28.1 in now live on all platforms

[p]The Common eland has arrived in Tikamoon Plains – a true giant among antelopes and a worthy challenge for any hunter. Strong, resilient, and majestic, the eland will put your tracking and shooting skills to the test. This update also brings a range of gameplay improvements and refinements. Aiming now feels smoother thanks to reduced blur on iron sights, and the zeroing for the Prairie Hunter the Jack iron sight has been adjusted to 50 meters for more accurate shots. We’ve also refreshed the audio experience with updated sound effects for the Steyr-Gams rifle and several rifles from the Hunter’s Advantage Pack.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Update 1.28.1 also brings important fixes inspired by your reports. The electronic caller delay has been resolved, its UI now updates correctly, and the hunter sense dot alignment on the Prairie Hunter the Jack has been corrected. We’ve also smoothed out some localization issues and minor environmental glitches, like the levitating grass on Nez Perce Valley. For more details, please check the patch notes below.[/p][p][/p][h2]Design the Future Reticle with Integrix[/h2][p][/p][p]Alongside this patch, we’re excited to share something special.
