The Rapid Hunter Rifle Pack
In case you missed it, the new DLC is releasing tomorrow with three reliable semi-automatic rifles called the Rapid Hunter Rifle Pack. But that’s not all!
Along with the rifles, you’ll also get an update with various fixes and improvements.
Highlights
A Himalayan Tahr has been spotted on Te Awaroa. This migration may impact the local Chamois population (Dev Note: Chamois population on Te Awaroa has been reset).
A number of weapons had their scope attachment points reviewed and redone. This also means that many weapons had their accuracy refined.
