Patch Notes[]
October 9th, 2024 Patch
- The
Pyroclastic Weapon Mastery skin paint job for the M4A1 no longer covers special magazines such as the Extended Mag, which is consistent with how cosmetic skins cover non-standard magazines on other weapons.
- M4A1 short-range damage increased from 17 to 18.
Trivia[]
- The HUD icon for the M4A1 has the Extended Mag equipped, and is lacking the iron sights.
- "CB A19462K", "PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT. M4A1 146A1958" and "MADE IN STILLWATER, OK U.S.A." are engraved on the left side of the receiver. "5.56 NATO" is engraved on both sides of the barrel, and "FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT/MILITARY USE" is marked in white text on the top of the handguard.
- "GET SOME" and "ALL Marine" are scratched into the paint of the receiver. Additionally, "LZ 46" is written in teal paint.
- A black piece of electrical tape with "Delta-7" written on it covers up an engraving with the word "RESTRICTED" on the right side of the receiver.
- "90" in white paint is marked on the inside of the stock.
