Global Invalidation \n
\n
Global Invalidation provides up to 15% improvement to baseline performance for CPU-bound players<\/li>\n
CPU-bound players are generally mid-to-high spec machines. <\/li>\n
These numbers are based on data gathered from PBE over two weekends (Jan. 22–23, and Feb. 5–6). <\/li>\n
Although we expect a large portion of the player base to benefit from these gains, your machine’s performance may vary. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cosmetic updates <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
Updates to the colour of the tile used to display sprays in your Collections<\/li>\n
Some sprays were too close to the colour of the original tile and were hard to see properly before actually using them in-game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Game systems updates<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
Added option to return to strongest weapon<\/li>\n
You can now return to the strongest weapon when pressing the “Equip Last Used Item” key or when auto-equipping a weapon. <\/li>\n
To toggle ON, go to Settings >> Controls >> Equipment under “Prioritize Strongest Weapon.” <\/li>\n
This was released in 4.02 but did not make it into the patch notes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
