- Limited player identifier range to not show for players outside of your max render distance
- Suit storages now wipe after server restarts
- This change was made in order to monitor and balance the suits in use within the server, as right now GOC can hold suits essentials indefinitely from a purchase made for example on Monday and still have the same set of suits + more on Friday. This was extremely unbalanced and lead to an abundance of suits being used. This will not occur after crashes.
- Edited shield and suit damage sound effects to make it more obvious when you are taking damage, and when your shields have been depleted
- Bronze Suit:
- SCP:
- SCP-035:
- Update input blocking for players possessed by SCP-035 to fully block inputs
- This fixes the usual "jittering" and weird visual behavior in a player when they're possessed by 025
- Update weapon switching logic to properly support weapons with a switch delay

- CI - Operative
- GOC:

VGuns

- This will save between restarts
- The toggle is beside the "Become Job" button
- Staff can disable the weapon store (the one in security sector) for jobs in VJobEditor
- You can also disable permaweapons on every job using the Settings menu in the Context Menu
- In the F4 menu, you can toggle spawning with permaweapons on a per-job basis
- M200 Spitfire:

- RPM: -25%
- Clip size: 10 -> 8
- Damage: 220 -> 168
- Mastiff:
- RPM: -33.3%
- Spread: +100%
- Spread ADS: +100%
- The above gun changes are being done due to the GOC Suits releasing. The Guns were intentionally configured to be incredibly strong to offset the skill level of the average GOC member (as GOC is primarily an RP faction and not a combative faction). With suits acting as a strong weapon/tool for the faction to use, we are scaling back the guns they get to ensure GOC is properly balanced to our original intention.
- Replaced all M9K Rocket Launchers with VGuns Rocket Launchers
- The VGuns RPGs are able to be configured in-game by Senior Admins, as well as being much nicer to use ingame compared to M9K
- This covers the Matador and the M202
- Added AT4 Rocket Launcher and a corresponding AA pickup
- This is identical to the Matador, to give Foundation and CI different rocket launchers
- Configured all rocket launchers to render on player's backs
- This is to make it possible to prioritize players as high-value targets during combat
- Added support for Expendable Weapons
- This allows for weapons to be automatically removed when the ammo in their clip has been expended. These weapons cannot be reloaded.
- AT4:
- Has been turned into an single-use expendable rocket launcher. Its pickup has been reduced to a 30-second cooldown that can be grabbed by any player regardless of their other pickup cooldowns. Its damage has also been reduced.
- All factions will be given this pickup as a backup for when the Matador is not accessible. This will be under observation for the next few days.
- Improved the application of weapon stats onto guns.
- Beanbag shotgun: Will no longer count as a shotgun when using permanent weapons
- Moderately increased damage of all Charge Rifles
- AA-12:
- Added AA-12 to E-11's AA room
- Removed AA-12 from the advanced armory list. This means that advanced armory rules no longer apply to the AA-12.

- Moved VInventory Stash from HCZ Primary to HCZ Secondary
- Completely overhauled the slot position and order of all SWEPs. This is an attempt to fix the following issues:
- To cut down on bloat in slot 2
- To spread out the equipment into clearer categories (e.g. slot 4 for alternative weapons and combative items like grenades, slot 5 for special or tactical equipment like shields or matadors, etc.)
- To ensure the order of items in a slot is consistent (e.g. keys always first, keycard always second)
