Improvements and bug fixes
In terms of general gameplay improvements, Epic Games addressed a bug that allowed players to exploit respawns to get a lead. Respawns now can’t spawn you ahead of where you farthest made it in the lap and also can’t spawn you too far behind that point. Bots received a few upgrades as well. They now have better off-road pathing, air dodging, jumping, flying, and landing.
