Additionally, some features may be implemented in a partial state and as such are not ready for testing.

New Features
Gameplay
Body Dragging
- We have added the initial functionality to allow players to interact with dead and unconscious characters, and move them. Whilst an actor is dragging they can equip, use and holster 1-handed weapons, i.e. pistols and knives (the dragging character holds onto the victim with their left hand, leaving the right hand free).
Electron Damage
- Electron is a new damage type that consists of energy, distortion, and stun. When a target is hit with electron they become charged and if the target receives a secondary hit while charged it will create an electron detonation that can chain to nearby targets. The size of this detonation is dependent on the initial and subsequent damage values on the target.
Feature Updates
Locations
- Doubled the distance the player will receive a restricted area warning alert at Area18.
Gameplay
- Added yaw and pitch icons to the new turret HUD.
- UI Visual pass for turret 3d heading and pitch tapes.
- Greatly increased the reward payouts for doing Twitch Pacheco missions.
- ECN, Bounty Hunter, and Escort mission rewards should now scale better based on difficulty.
