Aliens Fireteam Elite Update 1.008 Patch Notes
We have implemented the following changes.
PC
KITS, WEAPONS, AND COMBAT
- Phalanx:
- Increase to the Shield ability blocking angle, making it easier to block attacks from enemies that are not directly in front of the shield.
- Change to the Shield ability so that it no longer easily gets interrupted by being stumbled.
- Doc:
- Fix for the Doc’s “Readiness” perk so that it now properly grants improvements to Ability Recharge Speed.
VISUAL
- Improvements to ultra-widescreen support.
- Adjustment to the L59 Minigun’s muzzle flash, reducing it’s brightness to a level similar to the Smartgun.
UI
- Fix for instances where the “Spectate” and “Abandon Mission” options failed to display correctly upon death.
