Bugfixes
- Improved general performance, especially regarding foliage and rendering distance.
- Fixed an issue where members of the same squad would drop on different server instances.
- Similarly, fixed an issue where players with a very high matchmaking rank wouldn't be able to drop as a trio. Guess sometimes you're just that good.
- Fixed an issue where shotguns fired with the Slug attachment wouldn't deal the expected amount of damage.
- You will now be able to claim your cosmetic items even when your stash is full. There's always room for more swag after all.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Crusher Caverns from resetting properly.
- Tweaked waterfalls a bit so they can be their actual planned pretty selves.
- Research in your Private Quarters shouldn't take one second longer than indicated anymore. Think of all you'll be able to do with that whole second.
- Fixed some issues that would prevent players from completing the tutorial.
- Fixed a small graphical artifact when using 2x optics with a Basilisk.
- Fixed several instances of rain pouring through ceilings, windows and otherwise seemingly solid objects. Sure, the weather sucks on Fortuna III, but come on.

- Bullets will now pierce tarps from both sides.

- Equipped weapons won't poke their head out when throwing grenades.
- The Thrill Seeker is now fully usable and ready to scout the surface once more.
- Foaming an enemy Prospector right as they foam you should now count as actual progression for related missions. Double KOs never get old!
- Fixed some visual issues with the Crusher's ranged attack.
- Also, killing a Crusher with a heavy melee attack won't send it into outer space anymore.
- Fixed more issues with Marauders teleporting around, dealing damage to Prospectors way out of their reach or attacking opponents while turning their backs on them. Super Jeff has been nerfed.
- Fixed a visual issue where accepting a new mission would seem to reset progress on existing ones.

- Fixed an issue that would trigger an infinite loading screen when purchasing items in a shop or claiming rewards from the generators.
- Fixed an issue where the ramps of a Laser Drill would disappear when moving too far away.

- Using the “Return to Station” option should now properly update mission progress when applicable.
- Fixed a visual issue that would show the “Average Match Time” as 0 in the player stats. No, you're not that fast.
- Fixed an issue where backpacks couldn't be moved to the stash despite the latter not being full.

- Fixed an issue where insured items wouldn't appear properly in your Private Quarters after being foamed.
