Map fixes address stuck spots and out-of-bounds access, while stability fixes address an End of Round tunnel issue and a startup crash.
Projects and UI
Projects now unlock after 5 rounds, and a progression issue was fixed. Project and Expedition screens also received navigation, grouping and readability improvements.
Coming soon and known issues
After the current crossover period, the Azimuth bundle will be earnable in THE FINALS by playing ARC Raiders. Known issues include crashes affecting some Xbox players, Quick Wheel selection problems and shots potentially failing to register while riding ARC.
