{{overhaul}}

Major Highlights
*Three new weapons and two new skins have been added to the Infiltrator class. Watch the [http://youtu.be/mNqaiUl27MQ Cloak & Dagger Update Video] for more.
*A new Arena map, Walled In, has been added to the Quick Play rotation.
*Several additional HUD features have been implemented, including:
**Flag status (who is carrying the flag and timer until flag reset).
**Friend Notifications when players come online/go offline.
==Weapon/Balance Items==
*Three new weapons added for Infiltrator
**Jackal: The Jackal fires up to three rounds that stick to any surface, and are remote triggered for detonation.
**Throwing Knives: Throwing Knives deal impressive damage on a direct hit, and have a small splash damage radius.
**Smoke Grenade: Instantly vanish without waiting the normal reveal time from taking damage or firing a weapon. In addition, remain in stealth for 2 seconds even if you take damage. Firing a weapon will still break stealth.
*Adjusted visual style on Infiltrator's Prism Mines to be more in line with other mines and harder to detect at long range.
*Fixed an issue where Shrikes were not taking damage from bullet projectiles at certain angles and locations.
*Added improved proximity checking for deployables to prevent the Doombringer's force field from covering the flag when placed at certain angles and locations.
*Pathfinder's Bolt Launcher projectile now detonates after 6 seconds of flight, reduced to match that of the Heavy Bolt Launcher and Spinfusor type weapons.
*Direct-hit damage bonus reduced by roughly 4% on Pathfinder's Bolt launcher.
*Increased knock-back from Pathfinder's Light Spinfusor by approx. 10% (now matches the Bolt Launcher).
*Increased damage fall-off on Sentinel's BXT1 Sniper Rifle. Falloff range is 33% more aggressive, and the maximum falloff amount was increased 5%.
*Improved the targeting of Call-Ins when targeting terrain.

==Additional Items==
*If a player jump/jets while already going faster in the Z axis than the jump would set, the jump no longer resets the Z-axis velocity. This fixes an issue in which a jump/jet could slow your momentum unintentionally.
*Additional work has been done to eliminate some "deadstops" while skiing/jetting. Please report any remaining situations in which you stop movement suddenly and unexpectedly while skiing.
*The current match is now hidden from the scoreboard when players are at the Team Selection screen. A future patch will hide additional information.
*A variety of cleanups have been made to several maps.
*Implemented a change intended to fix a situation in which hit/damage numbers would be delayed in appearing. Please report if you still see this issue..
*Fixed an issue that would cause the flag to fall through the world in some conditions.
*Fixed an issue where the Brute's Nova Colt could lose texture resolution at high speeds
*A variety of backend server work has been done in preparation for future functionality.
=Known Issues=
*Damage numbers from your turret may appear over reticule where not expected.
