Overall
The item pool for Supply Boxes and items found on the ground have been significantly altered from that seen in standard play.
Basic Attachments
Common Weapons will start with an Attachment – mostly to provide their max magazine size.
Rarity Spawn Rates
Epic and Legendary weapons are now harder to find. Players will have to open a few more boxes than usual to find what they’re looking for.
Killstreaks
Drop rates have been reduced. Time to stop spamming UAVs and to start putting those senses to the test.
Cash Spawns
Larger piles of cash are rarer. Players will have to stay on top of scavenging for cash if they plan to afford a Loadout.
Field Upgrades
No Dead Silence. No Stopping Power Rounds. Period.

Sniper Rifles
A single headshot from a Sniper Rifle will only down an enemy if they are within 30 meters. This gives time for those on the receiving end of a long shot to react – the most elite snipers will be able to adjust their strategies accordingly and still dish out lethal damage at long range with precise follow-up shots.
Stun Grenades
Stun effect duration decreased by 50%.
Medical Syringes
Health regeneration rate decreased by 50%. Upon taking non-Incendiary, direct damage from another Player (Tactical Equipment splash damage does not count), the Medical Syringe’s increased health regeneration effects will be canceled and standard health regeneration will begin–which can be interrupted by any source of damage. Additionally, the movement speed bonus gained when using a Medical Syringe has been decreased from 8% to 3%.
Gulag

Loadouts
No akimbo. No semi-auto or fully auto Shotguns. Limited selection of Tactical Equipment. It’s down to the bare essentials and the will to survive.
Redeployment
If players happen to survive their Gulag match, they’ll redeploy with whatever equipment is leftover from that fight. Be mindful of those resources.

Duos
We want players to really feel the impact of the increased Time-to-Kill. You only get to pick one squadmate… so choose wisely and watch each other’s backs.
