Known Issue

• There is currently a known issue specific to Modern Mode during the Dillon boss fight. If the player is positioned at the bottom of the stairs, shots aimed at Dillon may not register until the player moves approximately halfway up the staircase.

This issue is actively being investigated and a hotfix will be released as soon as possible.
