MAPS
Introducing two new battle maps: Sariff Bay and Sa’id.
For more on both of these maps, check out the full blogs for each:
MODES
Ground War is back! Enjoy up-to 32v32 combat with brand new vehicles and dynamic combat.
Introducing our Sandbox TDM, Invasion (or what we like to call the Shipment of Ground War). Invasion pits two teams of 20 players and 20 AI against each other. With large maps, 80 combatants, water play, ground vehicles, air vehicles and more– it’s absolute chaos!
Third Person Moshpit is returning for Weekend Two.
GAMEPLAY
We’ve made adjustments to player visibility that should make enemy targets easier to spot.
PERKS
The perk earn rate will remain the same for the start of Beta Weekend One. Once all platforms are open, we will be increasing the earn rate significantly.
AUDIO
Decreased the overall distance from which you could hear enemy and ally footsteps
Mixed the volume of local and non-local player slide sounds to be more in-line with other movements
Added an equalizer to soften ally footsteps versus enemy footsteps, making enemy audio more distinct
Adjusted mix presets– particularly the mix of ambient sounds, which will make footsteps slightly less pronounced

Increased full-auto recoil
Minor headshot damage reduction
FSS Hurricane

USER INTERFACE
We’ve addressed a number of UX bugs including Gunsmith and progression issues. The level cap for Weekend Two is level 30. If you played in Weekend One, your progress should carry over to Weekend Two.
We are also working on a number of UI and UX improvements for launch.
