Release notes

.223 Ammo Changes

There have been a lot of complaints from players that the .223 simply did not perform well enough on some of the animals it was intended for. So, we’ve decided to make the bullet just a little heavier, so that it can quite easily take down even Coyotes and Roe Deer. We’ve also added the Red Kangaroo to the list of permitted species since it is widely used in Australia for this kind of hunting.

.303 Ammo Changes

When we released the .303 British Bolt Action Rifle, the permitted species list was perhaps a little too permissive for the type of bullet we chose. By switching from hollow point to jacketed soft point we got a bit better penetration for this ammunition, making it more suitable for the animals on the permitted list. However, it is still a rifle for the skilled hunter, and a good shot placement remains essential. The tweak we are introducing today does not make a cannon out of your .303 British Bolt Action Rifle, but it at least turns it into a very decent hunting rifle.
