Patch #1.4.0.0

Patch 1.4.0.0

DISCLAIMER : This update resets your mission progress and safehouse progress . Your inventory and stash are not wiped!

Patch 1.4.0.0 is our biggest update yet. It brings a brand-new map, Outskirts, further improved RED:FOR AI, a new wave of operations runs across every map: airdrops, convoys you can take out with an airstrike, and a boss convoy roaming Delta at night. The campaign gets new story missions, and every map now has an in-raid trader and a secure container. Movement and gunplay got a big pass, with tactical sprint, low ready, high mantling, reworked recoil and overhauled scopes. On top of that come a new medic system, a new food and drink system, and an overhauled inventory.

RED:FOR AI

• New AI Director – manages every bot from one place, including how many go after you at once, for pacing and performance. Most of the bots' work now runs off the main thread.
• New Cover System – built for huge numbers of bots and much faster. Bots can flank, hold overwatch, manoeuvre on you, or reposition to a new angle without advancing.
• New Searching – bots cover the ground you could be in as a team, with limits on how many hunt you at once. Bots that are shot at always come looking.
• Awareness – bots only know what the friendlies around them can see, and share it with their own side only.
• Avoidance – bots steer clear of grenades, gas and smoke clouds, and spots where friendlies died.
• Squad Movement – bots read where their friendlies are heading, handle tight corridors much better, and patrol in formations such as columns and wedges.
• Movement & Rotation – reworked with weight and inertia, so bots move and turn far more naturally. In open fights, they also sprint to new positions instead of only strafing.
• Slicing the Pie – bots work their way around corners while watching them, instead of walking straight through.
• Aiming – bots pre-aim corners and react faster when you appear where they expect you. A new aim system lines the weapon up exactly with the target, which also makes your own weapon line up properly with your camera.
• Weapon Handling & Friendly Fire – bots raise, lower and low-ready their weapons, and lower them when a friendly walks in front. Friendly fire is far rarer, but bots can still make mistakes.
• Grenades – bots now throw grenades (first version). Grenades can be turned off in the AI settings, and are off on Recruit.
• Senses – hearing and sight sharing between friendlies was rebuilt to be more accurate and much cheaper. Bots that hear the same enemy agree on one position.
• Flashlights & Lasers – rebuilt how bots detect flashlights and lasers.
• AI Settings – an expanded settings menu (including search limits and AI muzzle flash size) and shareable preset codes.
