General
Semi-auto and burst weapon shot queuing improvements:

Base weapon stat bars have been updated to more accurately reflect their functionality.
Attachment stat values have been updated to more accurately reflect their functionality.

- Dragon’s Breath packed underbarrel shotgun
- Available to all Weapons that are compatible with underbarrel shotguns upon completion of Challenge
Weapon Balancing
Warzone
At the launch of Season 04, weapons in Warzone saw a significant change to their damage profiles, which resulted in an overall increase to the duration of engagements. With Season 04 Reloaded we are placing a bigger emphasis on accuracy in gunfights. To achieve this, every Weapon has had its Warzone damage profiles adjusted to fit into this new balance paradigm with additional attention given to the most dominant Weapons. While this change will result in a wider range of Time to Kill values, meaning some Weapons will be able to kill faster when fired more accurately, and slower when not—it allows Weapons the necessary space to feel more distinct and promotes an ecosystem where each Weapon class can excel.
