Update 43.1 went live on PC after maintenance on September 10, 2026. An unarmed kick lets players knock back opponents and break windows and wooden doors. Sub-weapons and throwables can now be used on the water surface, and swim and dive speed is up 25 percent. Item handling also changed: players can carry certain items on the spot without storing them, throw items to teammates, and use healing, boost, and some deployable items directly from the ground. Light machine guns received another balance pass after Update 42.3, touching aim speed, recoil, vehicle effectiveness, and world spawn rates.
