Au menu des réjouissances, on trouve tout un tas de corrections, d’optimisations et d’équilibrage général (gros changements aux niveaux de l'arbre de compétence des différentes classes). Mais c'est surtout l'arrivée de la huitième perk, le tireur d’élite, qui ravira nos cœurs. Il bénéfice de deux nouvelles armes de classe : le fusil de sniper et un railgun très puissant. Il dispose également de l’arbalète et de la winchester déjà présentes. On notera avec délice sa grenade réfrigérante qui permet de stopper un temps les ennemis basiques.
Il y a également un nouveau skin féminin, deux nouvelles maps communautaires (Containment Station et Hostile Ground), un tutoriel d’entrainement ainsi que 32 nouveaux succès (mais pas ceux qui récompensent la collecte de tous les items dans les nouvelles map : lol).
La liste complète des changements se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.
