Patch #27 - 10/28/2015
Raise/Lower Weapon System
In this patch is a new weapon lowering/raising combat mechanic.
By default you can use the "Tab" key to switch between the two (can be rebound to a key of your choosing).
With your weapon raised, you will run slower in the game, so lower it when you are not in a combat situation.
At any time you can sprint (from lowered or raised weapon position) to
sprint at full speed, but need to leave sprint to attack or fire.
Pre-compiled Shader Cache
This patch contains the first iteration of distributing our own
pre-compiled shader cache with the game to help reduce stalls while
playing.
We will continue to improve the cache each update.
