Patch V2.4.2 brings with it the crossbow with unlimited arrows as well as a few other themed Valentine’s Day skins; cupid and a weird heartbroken bear. Because why not.
Changes are also being applied to the Shooting Test 1. It is now only available in solo play as it does not save progression for stats and challenges.
There’s good news for the more familiar weapons as both the shotgun and scoped assault rifle get some love. Shotgun headshot damage has been increased to 200% (up from 150%) and there’s no damage drop off when using the scoped assault rifle.
There’s no real changes for Save The Worlds players, but developer Epic did outline upcoming patches for the co-op game:
