First order of business- shoutout to everyone that checked out the EXFIL demo over our free weekend. If you were playing, you may have noticed we added several new features to the demo that were not previously present in the retail build. This update adds these features to main game.

===================================
# BUILD 0390-5586
## Main Branch
===================================

Added:

• New weapon: DesertTech SRS bolt-action rifle (long and short variants),
  
• Secondary (top) sight on some scopes! Use mousewheel to switch when in ADS.,
  
• New scope: CQBSS 8x,
  
• You can now heal others, press H in front of them if they are injured (this will likely move to the F interaction menu in the future for better UI),
  
• White camo variants for snow ops (or summer if you want to stand out),
  

Edits & Tweaks:

• Made VIP visually more distinct.
  
• Increased GPS maximum zoom to show more of the map,
  
• Improved VIP mode objective highlight on GPS,
  
• Misc optimizations to sound concurrency for bullets and footsteps. General optimization is ongoing.,
  

Fixes:

• Fix Helicopter sometimes being the wrong team for some clients on VIP and Seek&Destroy.,
  
• Fix suppressor floating in front of M39 when ADS,
  
• Fix AI targeting friendly drones just after they were deployed,
  
• Don't log bleeding damage as it could make the logs very large,
  

Known issues:

• Game freezing while in spectator view has been reported. This is being looked into.,
  
• VIP mode voice lines are not in yet. We're in the process of recording all new voices.,
  

Lots of exciting stuff being worked on, so stay tuned for future updates!
