Balance
M16: Increased spare ammo to 240 and ammo pickup to 10-12. Damage from 110 → 80
Changes were made to make its ammo economy more beginner friendly. Damage was reduced to not overshadow AKM.
RPK: Mag capacity from 100 → 75, Spare from 200 → 225, Damage from 150 → 170. Accuracy from 60 → 70
Updated to reflect it’s real life counterpart, and to better rival the new MK46 LMG.
Minigun: Accuracy from 80 → 60. RPM Reduced from 3000 → 2000. Damage increased from 100 to 150.
Intended to make it more CQC oriented and to not overshadow RPK’s in terms of accuracy. The RPM changes were made to reduce lag while using the weapon, but as to not affect it’s DPS, we raised the damage to 150. Although that technically increases the damage per mag of the weapon.
FiveSeven: Ammo pickup increased from to 3-5 from 0-1.
This should make the ammo pickup more consistent with other weapons in it’s class
Honey Badger: Damage increased from 50 → 100. Spare decreased from 210 → 180. Ammo Pickup decreased from 6-4 → 4-3. RPM increased from 700 → 800. AimSpeed increased from 15 → 18.
Honey Badger was very underused in loud. These changes should push it to a hard hitting rifle, as long as you can manage its ammo economy. Stealth-wise, it should remain mostly unchanged - though it is now better equipped to deal with Mercenaries and National Guards, due to their higher health pool.
Improved damage dropoff for Explosives
They now have a maximum damage which linearly drops to a minimum damage based on the weapon’s distance and radius. If the distance is 20% of the radius, it’ll deal maximum damage regardless
Rocketeers: Removed laser, reduced aim time from 5 to 3 seconds.
Removed Armor scaling based on difficulty
Situational Awareness mutator now affects Guards and Cameras
Adjusted experience gain on every heist
Technical
To address Roblox policy, some users may have slightly different experiences regarding the game’s shop based on your region/age/account restrictions.

Glass shards are now disabled when Effect setting is set to “Low” or lower
Screen fades darker after a game is complete so you can see your stats better
Lobby
Keybinds now show which keys are conflicting.
Removed option to manually backup saved data
This is no longer necessary since Roblox already creates multiple backups on their own which we can rollback to at any time. Having this option only creates potential unwanted rollbacks from users.
Fixed a bug where contract costs were calculated incorrectly on the client for Extreme and Nightmare
Fixed the game breaking when creating a lobby contract due to the cost desync
Fixed “Purchase and Equip” not visually updating that cash was deducted.
Players are now brought back to the creation screen in case a lobby fails to be created.

Rocketeers: Yellow Laser returned. Time to fire reduced from 3 seconds to 1 second.
Riot: FBI variant now uses a G18. BrickTech Variant now uses a P90.
Snipers: Increased reload speed by x2. Takes only 2 seconds to aim in Extreme or Above
All Shotguns: Improved damage falloff
These changes are aimed at making damage falloff more consistent for shotguns, so that they’re still close-range oriented, but won’t be too heavily affected at longer ranges.
Max damage range increased from 25 → 50 studs.
Minimum damage capped at 50% of weapons damage (old behavior: it would continue to go down to even lower amounts, losing up to 90% of its damage at 100 studs)
Damage falloff is now linear towards the minimum damage from 50 to 100 studs.
Attachments:
Currently, there’s an issue with scopes that they give a huge amount of accuracy with basically no consequences. It easily made weapons like LMGs and Shotguns get to 100 accuracy, even when hipfiring. These changes are intended to standardize scopes so that we can properly tune weapons based on their accuracy, without forcing them to have no sights at all.
Sniper Scope: Reduced accuracy from 40 to 4. Concealment from -12 to -3.
ACOG Scope: Reduced accuracy from 30 to 3. Concealment from -8 to -2.
HAMR Scope: Reduced accuracy from 26 to 3. Concealment from -6 to -3.
EOTech Scope: Reduced accuracy from 15 to 1. Concealment from -6 to -1.
Kobra Scope: Reduced accuracy from 11 to 1. Concealment from -4 to -1.
Reflex Scope: Reduced accuracy from 7 to 1. Concealment from -2 to -1.
Laser: Reduced accuracy from 4 to 2. Concealment from -2 to -1.
Crossbow:
The lack of concealment makes Crossbow unfavored for stealth and a crit build, and it’s also tricky to aim. These changes are aimed at increasing their potential on both these cases.
Concealment increased from 5 to 15
When aiming, arrows will hit where you sights are pointing to.
Added Iron Sights attachment
Minigun:
Minigun is currently one of the most broken weapons at 5,000 DPS. These changes should bring it down to 2,667 DPS (still almost double of RPK’s), and the decreased concealment makes it harder to commit for crits. The changes to ammo and accuracy are intended to make the weapon a resource-intensive weapon, requiring a bit more careful ammo management, including ammo bags to better sustain itself.
Damage decreased from 150 → 80
Ammo decreased from 400/800 → 300/600
Ammo pickup reduced from 7-9 → 2-4
Accuracy decreased from 60 → 50
Reload increased from 4.4 → 6.4
Concealment decreased from 0 → -10

Reduced equip/unequip time from 0.75 seconds to 0.2 seconds
Ground Fire (Torch & Flare Gun)
Damage increased from 20 → 50

Reduced equip/unequip time from 0.75 seconds to 0.1 seconds
Lobby
