Patch Notes[]

September 25th, 2024 Patch

MDR: Removed aiming obstructions when equipped with the Skeletonized cosmetic skin. Also, like to the M870 tweaks above, corrected some mechanical animations to match the real-life weapon: charging handle no longer reciprocates, and spent casings now eject toward the front of the weapon rather than the side.

July 17th, 2024 Patch

MDR short-range damage increased from 17 to 19.
MDR ADS speed improved from 300ms to 250ms.

June 18th, 2024 Patch

Players wielding the MDR while strutting around in the Firestorm skin were experiencing an abnormal level of recoil, which has been reset to normal recoil. So strut away.

Trivia[]

Prior to the June 18th, 2024 Patch, the model of the Firestorm skin for the MDR was not properly set, resulting in the entire gun model functioning as the reciprocating bolt, resulting in unusually high visual recoil.
