The major changes in this patch deal with removing exploits in maps and loadouts. Here’s a top three:

Top 3 Changes:

1. While on RED on the third Dustbowl map, you can no longer build a teleporter in the spawn door. This will prevent your team from having a means to continue to circumvent that spawn door after BLU takes the first point.
2. Fixed lots of prop collision and clipping on Dustbowl and 2Fort.
3. Fixed an infinte healing exploit related to loadout presets.
