Summary
Base Contesting Rework
The core update introduces a "Contested" state for bases. This occurs when defenders are outnumbered but a capture cannot proceed due to equal numbers, lack of radio connection, or FIA presence. While a base is contested, defenders are barred from spawning there, though they receive a visual map indicator (red glow) to alert them of the threat.
Vehicle & Asset Adjustments
Significant tweaks have been made to vehicle physics, specifically lowering the center of mass for the BRDM-2, S105, and S1203 to reduce rollovers. Internal storage limits for vehicles have also been increased. The LAV-25 received collider updates, specifically for its 5mm wavebreaker armor.
Stability & Bug Fixes
This patch addresses several crashes, most notably a crash occurring on PS5 when using binoculars at 4K resolution. Other fixes target character spawning inside geometry, nametag replication for renegade players, and various animation clipping issues with heavy weapons.
