Known Issue's

*In Certain cases its possible to cause Dead soldiers to talk or Sya to talk over-herself. This will be addressed in hot-fixes over the following weeks.

* In Certain cases the soldiers will talk as if they are previously engaged in Combat or seen you this needs to be removed in later builds and improved upon.(As with add more voice variants)

*1P still requires a revamp before we feel more confident this is an incremental update so you can see our progress over the past month. Many things attributed to the weapons still need tweaking . Some reloads are missing

* In Certain Cases you can get Amber to clip through meshes (head) this is a known minor issue and was a result of shrinking amber collision box. Which made it very easy to be detected in previous builds.

* Execution Rotations can be broken at odd angles we know about this issue and will be resolving it along with the 1P in an update targeted just for the two.
