The Lunar New Year event introduces themed decorations across multiple maps and a collection event with 15 rewards. Gameplay shifts focus on reducing the effectiveness of long-range 'poking' by nerfing the BFR Titan and CB-01 Repeater, while the Cerberus 12GA receives a consistency buff and the LH1 sees improved readability.
Extensive technical improvements include refined destruction physics for Fortune Stadium and Kyoto, performance optimizations for FSR/DLSS, and a detailed update on machine-learning-based anti-cheat detections for recoil scripts.
