Fixed an issue where players did not get the default outfit when creating a new contestant

Moved gyro aiming options to a separate tab in the settings menu.
Made general improvements to the responsiveness and precision of gyro aiming controls.
The "gyro orientation" setting now has three modes:
World (New) - Rotation is based on the controller's rotational movement in the world
Local - Rotation is locally read from the controller's point of view
Player (Previously World) - Rotation is based on the controller's rotational movement from a player perspective
Vertical gyro sensitivity is now an absolute value, rather than based on a ratio of the horizontal sensitivity
Added a new setting that enables focal length scaling for gyro aiming, which scales sensitivity based on changes in FOV, making scoped weapons more precise
Added options for inverting each gyro axis individually
Added new settings for gyro acceleration, which increases sensitivity the faster the controller rotates, allowing for sharp turns while maintaining precision for small and steady adjustments
Add a new ‘flick stick’ mechanic that can be enabled with gyro, which changes the functionality of the look stick so that you can quickly snap to face any direction
Added the following optional controller binds:
Reset vertical rotation (necessary when playing with flick stick)
Toggle gyro aiming (On/Off)
Disable gyro aiming (Hold)

Flashbang
Fixed an issue where weak flashes could overwrite strong flashes
Fixed an issue where Grenades, Mines, and C4s with default customization sometimes got a random customization applied

Polished and refined how pings are visualized in-game
Ping-icons are now smaller and will scale depending on their screen-centeredness
Pings, team health bars and objective icons now fade out when they come closer to the center of the screen
Off-screen enemy pings now behave like other off-screen icons and hug the screen edge closest to the pinged location. (Was previously not visible when off-screen)
Fixing bug where spectating players wouldn’t fade icons when the spectated player enters aim-down-sights
Voice lines for the default ping (when you ping a random location with no object attached to it) have been updated to be more consistent. Previously it would use “I will…” and “We should…” intermittently
In general, pinging something will now ask your allies to engage with that object, while pinging the ground will announce your own intention to move there
Updated options in the Contextual Ping menu
“Huddle here” changed to “Group up,” with all new voice lines
“Moving here” changed to “Go here,” using more consistent voice lines
Fixed an issue where you didn’t go to the correct page in the Battlepass from the outfit screen

Hit-indicator now differentiates damage from these types of attack

Polished the grappling hook wire animation.

Improved melee aim assistance so that it not only looks for targets when the attack is initiated by the player, but also validates that they are still correct at the time aim correction is applied. This should reduce the number of occasions where melee attacks could pull the player away from a target

Added suspension rule for using Aimbot
