New
River Raids Update
Added 3 new Rivers to the RIVER RAIDS game mode. (Erriff, Berbha, Rhine)

Rune Perk Changes
Targeted Rune socketing– This update means that RUNES will only affect the weapon they are socketed in, allowing players to create more targeted loadouts.
- For example, you could fill your left-hand weapon with Attack runes and your right-hand weapon with Stun runes so that both weapons have very different effects.
- Some stats will stay global (example: Assassination damages, Fire damages, etc.).
- No changes have been made to Runes slotted on armor; they will still impact your character as a whole.
Perk & Rune Perk Cap removal– We also removed the CAP that prevented Perks & Rune Perks (diamond shape) effects from stacking beyond a certain threshold.
