From the Devs’ Desks:

We wanted to provide some extra details about the upcoming changes to our arsenal. We've also been listening to your questions and concerns about Downfall Remastered, and we're happy to address the most commonly asked questions we have received.

Our hope is that this information will help answer your questions, alleviate concerns, and get you even more pumped up for what's to come!

Weapon & Loadout Updates

Bullet Drop - Scope Zeroing

The updates to the weapons extended to more than the graphics and interactions. We have also taken the time to address how bullet drop works. Including updates that make weapons more consistently and reliably zeroed to their effective range.

Bullets will follow a more realistic trajectory meaning, bullet speed and thus bullet travel time is more realistic. This means you will be able to see a tracer shoot right beside you. This should make it easier to identify the direction shots are coming from.

We understand this may take a bit of getting used to and change how you currently aim and account for accuracy. We believe this is the better, more realistic approach. We recommend taking some time on the shooting range with your new favorite weapon(s) to get you used to this new system.

Loadout Changes

In order to provide so many new weapons, we had to make some balancing adjustments to the loadouts that are being offered. Some of the new weapons will be replacing previous weapons in the game.

MARSOC

  • M16 being replaced with M27 on Support & Marksman Class

  • 1911 being replaced with M45A1

Volk

  • G3A3 being replaced with RPK-74

The next update will bid farewell to two iconic firearms that have been a part of our Onward loadouts. These trusty guns have served us
