TL;DRUpdate 42.1 adds the Ally Duo mode on PC and a faster Blue Zone ruleset for Rondo. It buffs the SLR with less recoil and higher muzzle velocity, lightens healing items and speeds up the Med kit and Bandages, and removes six older weapons from world spawns.
Who this matters to
SLR players
The SLR gets steadier recoil and a muzzle velocity of 870m/s, up from 840m/s.
Looters
Healing items weigh less and Bandages heal faster, so inventory space goes further.
