3. @SniperNoSnipimg (Aug 08): "It’s refreshing to have 5 stack back at fragment and it’s nice to see changed/new Poi’s on Worlds edge! Bloodhound is annoying with his ult and rampart mini gun is crazy fast now"

4.@YOROTSUKI_ (Aug 08): "Just a reminder: 1. Energy ammo still spawns on the ground at its original spawn rates, but it won't be visible. This may be why some loot bins are empty. 2. The spawn rates of Lv3 and Lv4 backpacks decreased by 70%, 54.3%, and 45.5% in low-, medium-, and high-tier POIs, respectively, compared to S29. 3. The spawn rate of Lv3 attachments (excluding optics and corrupted attachments) decreased by 68.6%, 36.0%, and 79.6% in low-, high-, and ultra-high-tier POIs, respectively, while it increased by 10.3% in medium-tier POIs compared to S29." https://x.com/YOROTSUKI_/status/2085974864910000634
