June 20 Patch Notes
-A ton of crash fixes (there are more, but we have tried to isolate the ones affecting the majority of users in this patch)
-Attachments will no longer fall through objects to the terrain beneath them
-Reactor icon added to compass when it is active
-Major bug related to alien spawns fixed. Aliens spawns were being calculated including dead players, this is no longer the case.
-We have added 5 new servers in Tokyo.
-Shotgun hipfire spread adjustment -20%. Shotguns do not get a spread benefit from using ironsights. This will make buckshot ammo 20% tighter in spread now. APF and Slug rounds are 20% more accurate as well. This should address the majority of the 'random' feel of shotguns right now. Ammo damage balance may need to be adjusted because of this change to shotgun effectiveness, we'll see.
-Small green military crate collision has been adjusted
-Issue related to physx causing certain weapons to fall through the floor has been identified and fixed.
-Wolfstrom specops, elite and Sindal's Wulfsabre have all had their stats adjusted. These weapons were not in line with other weapons of this caliber and thus players should notice a quite a difference in this weapons handling, accuracy and damage.
-Crystal spawns at excavation sites should now be lootable. (if you find an unlootable spawn please report it with a screenshot and map location to the bug report section of the forums)
-There are now alien material spawns at the Dominion Reactor
-Specops bag at vendors now properly costs Starlight Coin instead of Blackdust Coin and gives 3 specops bags.
-Exploit allowing users to bypass 5000 bullet cap inside vault has been fixed
-Unopened Stashbox limit inside vault has been capped at 100. IE 100 specops bags, 100 hat boxes etc. You cannot have more than 100 of each type of stashbox.
-New Legendary Weapon Part material (currently unobtainable but will have a use very soon)
-Tracer Bullets are now working (not final but at least working)
-Sniper rifle audio rolloff fixed
-AAR Sniper audio fixed
-CobraX reload audio fixed
-MANY audio rolloff related bug fixes
-Dropped giftboxes and spraypaint cans can now be properly picked up
-Aliens have some new animations and will continue to get more in each patch
-Added new REWARD text and animation at top of the screen for the following:
-level up

-unlocked supply drop
-New Audio sounds:

June 17 Patch Notes
-Multiple crash fixes (hopefully not introducing new ones :D )
-Reactor aliens now capped at 5 max aliens inside the reactor. Make sure to fight these aliens with FMJ or AP ammo to strip their armor as they have a very thick exoskeleton and HP ammo does not pierce it. Aliens are stunned once armor is broken, at 50% health and at 25% health.
-AAR Sniper Rifle comes default with a sniper scope now to avoid confusion with this weapon and ironsights
-AP Ammo now does an extra 5 armor damage making it the ideal ammunition for stripping Alien Armor.
-Reminder that FMJ has a great balance of raw damage and armor piercing which is why it is the 'rare' ammunition
-Canned food weight has been adjusted to be more in line with what it should be. 2 kilos of canned Peaches. LOL.
-Crafted food cooldown timer reduced from 10 to 7 seconds.
-Meatshot headshot sound volume increased
-Audio tweaks. If you find something to be too loud, please report it and we will adjust it
-Color updates for certain rare items
-Binoculars now stack
