New Weapon
The RPG-7 V2 has been added to select maps; a devastating anti-personnel weapon with a large fragmentation radius. It is a single shot weapon and is automatically dropped once fired. The RPG-7 has a minimum safe arming distance of ten meters; the round will not detonate if it does not travel at least ten meters. Beware the back blast as it will injure, or even kill, those directly behind when fired.

Two new RPG-themed Steam achievements have been added: "I meant to do that!" (Kill an enemy with the RPG back blast) and "R-Three-G" (Get three kills with a single RPG blast). Stats related to the RPG are tracked and will be added to player profiles on the webpage soon after release.

It is available as an in-world pickup on selected maps only; it will never appear in the deploy menu. A DefaultGame.ini option, 'bAllowRPGPickup', allows server admins (on PC only) to disable the RPG if they so choose.

One or more RPGs can be found on the following maps:

PS4
Homestead
Uptown

PC - BDX
Bridge EX
Intercept C4/EX
SpringStreet EX/VIP
Watchdog C4

Admin panel UI windows no longer function when not visible
Localized warmup messaging and adjusted it with separate messaging for PC and PS4 in the case where only a single party is on the server

Interrupting shotgun reloading with slide will now properly interrupt and restart reload (fixes reload continuing without animation)
Fix to better handle ceasing objective use when a player is neutralized (fixes log spam and potential UI issues)

Fix for some scopes missing a lens in the My Soldier menu

PS4 Specific Bug Fixes
