[h3]This update fixes many of the existing and commonly reported bugs that have been noted in the community, such as vaulting causing players to sometimes fall through the floor.
In addition, we have also implemented the first version of our weapons cosmetic support system, which is the mechanic that we will use to begin including Kickstarter and Omni Edition exclusive skins, as well as level-locked skins.

We have also been enjoying watching everyone's playthroughs of the Ghosts of the South Gate mission, and have put together a compilation of some of our favorite moments:[/h3]
