[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
Continuing with our effort to squash long-standing bugs alongside each release

• Continuing to hold the Jump key will no longer cause Light Assault Ambusher Jump Jets to misfire, consuming fuel without the accompanying boost. If the key is held the jets will now fire properly as soon as enough fuel is regained.
  
• Rifle & Auto-shotguns have had their sights more accurately aligned in ADS.
  
• Fixed the grenade launcher animation becoming stuck while interacting with terminals.
  
• C4 can no longer be attached to the inside of allies (The Joker is disappointed).
  
• Vehicle destruction SFX and VFX will no longer cut out before they finish.
  
• Geometry and Zone fixes:
  
• - The no deploy zone at Veridad Pass has been realigned and fixed.
  
• - An entrance to the geometry under Veridad Pass has been closed off.
  
• - An invalid restricted area near Grey Heron Shipping on Esamir has been removed.
  
• - Bastions should no longer be able to clip into the mountains on Amerish.
  

All PC servers will come down for the following update on Thursday, November 30th, at 6:00am PT (3:00pm CEST). The downtime for this update is expected to last up to 3 hours.
