SMG’s earlier somewhat weren’t used by players because of the lower damage but now this update introduced increased damage multipliers for the SMG’s. The new multipliers are – Torso 1.05 (previously 1.0), Limb 1.3 (previously 1.25).
Crossbow also saw an increased damage multipliers – Torso 1.4 (previously 1.0), Limb 1.2 (previously 0.9). Crossbow’s default sight also got a 3% zoom buff to encourage players to play with the crossbow.
