1.NEW AIMING SYSTEM

The first new feature is the C.A.R Aiming system, known as Point Aiming in LIGHTNING. Pushing more into the tactical gameplay.

Checkout the demonstration:

How this new aiming system works?

More accurate than hip-fire, best for accurate first few shots. This aiming system pulls the gun to the center in a way that you are looking over the barrel.

How is it different from hip firing? Point Aiming is more accurate even at distance. but cannot make the hip-firing obsolete.

POINT AIMING

Pro:

  • Very accurate for the first few shots.

  • No Zooming, maintains your perspective.

  • Better view of your perspective.

Cons:

  • Loses accuracy fast after a few shots.

  • Reduced walk speed.

  • No leaning to sides.

HIP-FIRE

Pro:

  • Can maintain the recoil for long rapid firing.

  • No effects on walk speed.

  • No limits to leaning.

Cons:

  • First few shots aren't as accurate.

  • Could Potentially block viewing a portion of the right side.

By pulling the gun to the center you'll have a clear perspective to both side of the screen, LIGHTNING being a competitive shooter, this is specially beneficial in a competitive environment where you need as much info of your surrounding as possible.

A viable stance if you don't want to ADS but want to have good accuracy, making it very superior in certain situations and also a tactical choice.

2.DETAILED COMBAT REPORT

Second Feature in this update is a detailed Combat Report

In round-based modes, upon losing a gun fight and entering the spectator mode you will see a detailed report with an all new simulation of when each part of the body got hit in order.

You can see that each damage node gives a total damage done to that part along with hit order and showing damage for each individual hits.

This Update is one of the many similar updates to come in order to ultimately make LIGHTNING the better FPS and Esport experience.

And that sums up the new update, Stay tuned for more intel.
