BREACH VECTOR

Update 4.12.0 — Operational Parity

This update introduces several new ways for existing systems to remain unchanged.

New Features

• Tactical Chamber Inspection: Players can now verify that their weapon contains the ammunition already displayed on the HUD. Inspection is unavailable while anything is happening.
• Expanded Compass: Added a second north indicator to confirm the first north indicator’s findings.
• Post-Match Readiness: Players can now mark themselves “Ready” after a match has concluded. This status expires immediately.
• Contextual Concrete: Concrete surfaces now internally distinguish between indoor and outdoor concrete. Both use the same model, texture, sound, and collision properties.
• Squad Silence Indicator: A new icon confirms when nobody in your squad is speaking. The icon is invisible to avoid HUD clutter.
• Legacy Footstep Support: Retained compatibility with footsteps from the previous patch.

Weapons & Equipment

• Renamed the assault rifle’s internal recoil variable from recoilAmount to amountOfRecoil.
• Added a safety warning to grenade packaging. Packaging remains inaccessible during gameplay.
• Shotgun pellets are now assigned unique employee IDs before being destroyed on impact.
• Improved the organizational structure of unused suppressor textures.
• The combat knife now correctly identifies itself as a melee weapon during private diagnostic sessions.
• Empty magazines now contain exactly zero rounds, rather than an equivalent absence of ammunition.

Maps

Foundry

• Added a maintenance schedule to a clipboard inside a sealed wall.
• Rotated an underground pipe 360 degrees to better align it with its original position.

Checkpoint

• Replaced an unreachable traffic cone with an identical cone approved for multiplayer use.
• Corrected the postal code of a building that has no address.

Drydock

• Water beneath the map now receives simulated weather reports. It does not act on them.
• Added structural supports to a crane that cannot move, break, or be accessed.

Matchmaking & Networking

• Matchmaking now briefly considers whether all players are connected to the internet before using the existing connection checks.
• Reduced latency between two log messages that are disabled in production.
• Added regional support for servers located at their current locations.
• Packets that arrive successfully are now classified as “received.”
• Improved synchronization of server clocks used exclusively to timestamp clock-synchronization events.

UI & Accessibility

• Added a tooltip to the tooltip toggle: “Toggles tooltips.” This tooltip is disabled when tooltips are enabled.
• Increased the contrast of an unused menu divider.
• The brightness calibration screen now reassures players that the darkest square is probably there.
• Added a confirmation dialog when canceling a confirmation dialog. Both buttons close it.
• Menu tabs now retain their alphabetical order in the source code, regardless of their on-screen order.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a hidden developer counter could reach 12 without acknowledging 11.
• Fixed a typo in a comment explaining why a function is empty.
• Resolved a rare condition where an unloaded asset was incorrectly marked as not loaded.
• Fixed spectator cameras reporting their emotional state as undefined. They now report neutral.
• Fixed a door on an inaccessible floor being incorrectly labeled “Push” on both sides. It is now correctly labeled “Door.”
• Fixed an issue where patch version metadata did not include the word “version.”

Known Issues

• Players may not notice this update. This is expected.
• The new features cannot be disabled because they do not meaningfully become enabled.
• A restart is required to apply changes that do not require a restart.
