🔫 Weapon Balancing

Assault Rifles

• CR-56 AMAX: Headshot multiplier has been reduced from 1.6x to 1.35x. Sprint-to-fire speed is now slower, going from 190ms to 215ms. ADS movement speed was also slightly decreased.

• AK-74: Maximum damage has been reduced from 45 to 39, making it less dominant in close-range encounters.

• Krig C: This weapon received a buff with improved damage range and headshot multiplier (now 1.35x). Bullet velocity has increased, but ADS speed slightly decreased. Recoil during sustained fire has been made easier to control.

Submachine Guns

Sniper Rifles

• HDR: Flinch resistance has been reduced by 60%, making it harder to stay accurate under fire. Certain attachments like Heavy Stock and Combat Stock now offer less flinch resistance as well.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where players who redeployed from the Gulag during its closure would return without a weapon.

• Corrected a bug that caused inaccurate placement results in Casual Battle Royale matches.

• Fixed a problem where eliminated players dropped unintended Field Upgrades.

• Addressed a missing Aftermarket Part in the Gunsmith for the JAK Slash.

🎮 Ranked Play Adjustments
