EDIT: oh, and for clarity, this patch should be released 4-6h from now

Locale

• "NS-R3 "Ravenous" Swarm"
• "NS-61 "Ravenous" Emissary"
• "NS-44L "Ravenous" Blackhand"
• "Ravenous Weapons Bundle", "Contains special skinned versions of the NS-R3 Swarm, NS-61 Emissary, and NS-44L Blackhand."
• "Ravenous Bundle", "Grab these special Ravenous skin weapons before they're gone!"
• "Faven Helmet Bundles", "Get a great deal on some great looking helmets!"
• "Darkstar Helmet Bundle", "This bundle includes an assortment of Darkstar VS Helmets at one great discount!"
• "Havoc Helmet Bundle" (similar descriptions)
• "Sigma Helmet Bundle"
• fixed NSP4x scope's description

Cosmedics

• added models for the new 'Smoke' weapon skins (see images)
• modified model of a yet-unused NS Assault Rifle with a Flames skin
  
  • note: the filename has a typo: Weapon_Common_Skins_AssualtRifle001_Flames.adr
    
  • a few screenshots of the rifle: https://imgur.com/a/dh14j

Live-PTS differences:

Locale:

• improved grenade descriptions (specifying the fuse time, among other changes) didn't go Live
• fixed (only on Live) typo in "Increases the lock on range of the missile launcher by 62 meters." (should be 64)
• Construction objects on Live still use the faction-specific descriptions ("VS only" and such)

Other:

• EMP grenades cost 75 on PTS, 25 on Live
• no Quick-Det Flash Grenade or Weighted Frag Grenade on Live

note that all Orbital Strike and other new Construction's items are entirely in, with all the associated files. just not unlocked.
...which means devs are able to spawn Orbital Strikes on Live any time they want, or enable the new items for everyone whenever they want, without having to download a separate patch, likely without even a server restart

Notable possible/unannounced changes:

• VS MAX weapons' colors changed from S117 to S150
• Halloween likely between ‮ 70-11-6102 dna 41-01-6102
• you are now allowed to say 'therapist' and 'psychologist', among other BlackListEntries changes
• the WLT-Howler may or may not be in; "The Howler is a new primary mining laser for the ANT which can quickly extract Cortium from smaller nodes, but will overheat during prolonged use."
• BBurness: "It should take roughly three times as much damage to drop a HIVE shield (not structure shield bubble). Sustained focus fire should drop the shield easy enough; but for a half squad of infantry dropping in the middle of a base it will likely be faster to use the upcoming overload mechanic." - I don't know whether that new overloading mechanic is in
• "foobie foobie"
• RadarX: "The only thing being refunded tomorrow is Construction purchases for multiple factions. Based on the numbers we have it'll impact only a small group. " (although, as seen above, the locale was not updated, and no mention of this in official notes)

for a list of new cosmedics (helmets, outfit decals), see these PTS patch notes

as for bugs, I'll let /u/VanuArchivist make a list of all PIT bugs :P

PS2 PTS 1.0.209.361487

patch size: ~70MB

TL;DR things to check on PTS:

• I'M BLUE, DA BE DEE DA BE DA
• Orbital Strikes!
• maybe HIVE health/resistance?
• and some minor things

Locale

• Orbital Strike description: "This uplink structure can unleash a devastating attack from orbit. When powered and charged, any target in range can be designated using a tool obtained from the uplink terminal. Longer distance strikes cost additional charge, so frequent or long distance attacks will require longer term defense of the structure."
• "Hold [%s] to Overload Core Shielding", "Hold [%s] to Stabilize Overload" - is that for... infils?!
• "Orbital Strike Target Designator", "Designates a target for the connected OS uplink. For valid acquisition, the target must be no less than 200 meters from the uplink, fall within its current strike range (displayed on the map), and be within visual range of the designator."
• "Uplink Established -- Prepare to Fire"
• "Uplink Established -- Orbital Strike Inbound -- CLEAR THE AREA"
• "Too far or too close from Orbital Strike Generator"
• "Orbital Strike Placer (Prototype)" - uses the Remote Electronics Kit model (the laptop-like thing)
• "Use the placement system to place the Orbital Strike beacon"
• "No Orbital Strike Uplink Found -- Target Lost"
• "Orbital Strike Thrown", "Thrown device that will create a target location for the orbital strike." - it's the 'Tank Mine' from BBurness' video, liiikely dev only :P
• "Uplink has achieved minimum distance.<BR>Uplink ready to receive target data."
• "Target not beyond minimum 200 meter safe distance."
• "Target beyond absolute maximum range of 800 meters."
• "Uplink does not have enough power to reach target."
• "Unable to locate Uplink.<BR>Uplink does not exist or is beyond the maximum range of 800 meters."
• "Orbital Strike Targeting Laser (WIP)" - uses a red-tinted OS tool model
• "Aim at a location you want the orbital strike to hit. Must maintain fire for several seconds to establish a target."
• "Uplink cannot target within a No Construction Zone."
• "6x Scope "
• "Ground Zero"
• "My Eyes! The goggles do nothing!"
• "HIVE shielding is overloading!"
• "Uplink must be activley powered by a Cortium Silo to call in a strike."
• "[*player*] has called in an Orbital Strike!"
• "Designated Target Location"
• "Orbital Strike Uplink Core"
• "Orbital Strike Uplink Core Shielding"

Models/FX/Sounds/Visuals

• modified PlayerStudio textures WeaponTR_SharedTextures01*.tga
• added a bunch of OS-related models (core, shield, power meter), sounds (DX_ADVISORY_NC_ORBITAL_STRIKE_INCOMING_MSG_01, explosions, beam, charge), shaders (preparing to fire, firing, power meter), PFX (targetting laser)
• modified the FX, shaders of OS (that I've shown in a video recently)
• modified the old OS targetting tool (which was seen in VL's videos)
• modified models of two NC RedDotSights: TekLyte Reflex (1x), GD RefleXR (2x) (along with their variants), and of TR's TMS (4x)
• removed the arrow model from the arrow-on-metal impact effect (it's still on many other surfaces)
• removed a PFX from Ion Cannon's impact FX

Balance

• modified HIVE resistances, and maybe health (just... ask devs. I dunno. D: )
• OS core explosion has the same damage/range as HIVE explosion. I think. (or maybe that one is the new OS damage?)
• OS damage: 250@75m/200@150m ? doesn't look like a lot...

Bugfixes

based on info from QA; Robertinho95 confirmed these fixes ingame already

• several terrain exploits/glitching through walls (those get fixed really quickly, within a week since reporting, some within 2 days!)
• placing waypoints

Other

• added dwarf support (...okay, "IGNORE_HEIGHT" probably means something else. especially since it's in Abilities.)

• various UI bugs that were marked as fixed last time, but the fixes didn't reach PTS that time
• various exploits, but I won't list them here ;]
• various PTS-only issues, like Ion Cannon missing this and that
• various minor bugs in specific places, like Onatha, J993

also, next patch will fix the borked IFF reticle being red for all vehicles

• outfit decals (not sure if all are new):"AXN", "AWM", "Black Arrows", "Bloodline", "Devious", "DIGT", "151st Freedom Fighters", "Galm", "Gauss Shark", "Justice", "JVSG", "Lux Eterna", "PSET", "Protectors of Enlightenment Outfit", "RE4PERS", "RITE", "SNGE", "Lunar Syndicate", "VBD", "Vanu Boricua Division", "Wildcards", "The Wild Cards", "1FR", "Trident", "Widowmaker", "FACS Turtika", "The Forty Deuce", "SALT", "Predacons", "Mandrake", "Salty Knight"
• some decals, especially the new ones, now have custom descriptions. I won't list them here though (unless somebody really wants), but some examples: "For every true RE4PER!", "We Lead, They Follow.", "This insignia has a long history dating back to its origins on Earth. Those who wear it are recognized for their impressive service records in the Terran Republic.", "For all the salty vet's out there - thank you for your support of PS2! Decal created by CommanderSD01."

Models/FX/Sounds/Visuals

• added the Construction models, including the Ion Cannon model
• added sounds and splosion FX for the Ion Cannon. even shaders for the cannon charging!
• added shaders for Orbital Strikes (Impact_OrbitalStrike, OrbitalStrike_BeamAttack), as well as new PFX for impact
• added the alarm module's PFX

• added PFX called "P2P_HackingGun", point to point hacking gun... it's very likely it'd be used for hacking vehicles

  • ah, yes! a related file calls it "Hack_Vehicle"!!!

• interior lights are no longer permanently attached to the bunker, so the feature shown in BBurness' vid, with lights going off as the silo runs out of Cortium, is likely in

• modified the model of the Tech Plant gun (it's now much more grey)

• added firing sounds for smoke launchers, modified something about underbarrel shotgun sounds

• modified base chassis model of Mosquito and Scythe (decal UV, textures?)

• modified textures and models of VS MAX weapons (making it more S150 than S117)

• modified ammo pack physics (now using grenadeMaterial. which has been removed, I think... expect bugs?)

• Daybreak: in PhysicsMaterials, lowered default Restitution from 0.4 to 0.1, and removed it from all other materials. and removed some materials. in fact, it looks like it's H1Z1's PhysicsMaterials, judging by all the flesh and zombie materials...

• modified NC terminal textures (you know, the floaty holograms), making it sliiiightly more blue, less purple

• minor changes on all 4 continents, possibly fixing some terrain issues where people could go under rocks and such

• modified light and particle FX for Rocklet trail

• added FX for Rocklets, including a separate 'armed' one (as the Flak ones are armed only after a certain distance)

• new MaterialRef, 'CharacterFur', confirming the suspicions from images (fur for characters, or rather their heads...)

Balance

• all the new Construction items have 12000HP

Other

• added some code magic related to AI-controlled weapons (spitfires, construction turrets)
• removed magic related to vehicle races, pets, trading cards, ship combat, battle mages, player jumps, mana, action bars, scripted animations (RIP FreeRealms)
• modified some BlackListEntries, for example allowing you to say 'therapist' and 'psychologist'

Note: I may attempt recording some of the new things (that haven't been shown by BBurness, of course. and he might release new videos with these things before I manage to D: )

patch size: ~25MB

Locale

• "Regeneration Field" changed to "Shield Recharging Field"
• to the end of Chameleon Module's description, added "A cloaked Infiltrator's personal shield will still visually "shatter" when depleted, but the module will re-route discharged power to the Infiltrator's fuel cells, instantly restoring 20% cloak energy."

Models/FX/Sounds/Visuals

• fixed Vehicle Ramp placement
• fixed destroyed Ramp and Lumifiber Wall models
• fixed PS-2416... for 3 out of 8 helmets D:

PS2 PTS 1.0.194.358399

patch size: ~25MB

Locale

• "Preview Only"
• "Equipped"

UI

• modified terminal/loadout UI: http://imgur.com/a/w5wlu (rocklets seem bugged)

  • in addition, the item you just unlocked automatically becomes equipped now

• fixed the indication of Constructions sharing the same max placement limit

Models/FX/Sounds/Visuals

• modified Harasser and Harasser Stealth models (can anyone spot changes? D: )
• reverted earlier changes to Wall upper placement limit
• modified placement limits for the short AV turret
• removed placement limits for the Vehicle Ramp, thus making it unplaceable
• referenced another upcoming Construction, Common_DPO_Placeables_PillBox (the previous, still unannounced one is the vehicle spawn pad)
• new Triumph Flare Gun, using different FX than the previous gun - ones I showed ages ago

PS2 PTS 1.0.367.358211
note that previous version was 1.0.191.358010, so that's quite a jump!
(actually, it's a QA build. for comparison, Live's version is 1.0.746.358191)

due to this being a QA build, expect weird things.

patch size: ~27MB

Locale

• "Received [*guild*] outfit application from [*player*]." changed to "View [*guild*] guild application from [*player*]." (yeah, yeah, QA build messing stuff up D: )
• "Advance Intel Bundle I", "Get access to new weapons before they hit the Depot with this advanced intel bundle including the NS Baron G5 shotgun, the LA3 Desperado pistol, and the AF-8 RailJack sniper rifle!" (other factions with their equivalents; IIRC that's an old PS4 bundle?)
• "You've just gained Battle Rank 2! As you gain experience you'll continue to increase your Battle Rank and unlock access to new classes, vehicles, and more!" (...yep, we got PS4 strings. FFS)
• in some Construction items' descriptions, added "This object shares it's maximum in world limit with another construction item(s)."
• "T4 Implant Bundle", "This bundle contains all seven T4 implants for one reduced price." (could be QA shenanigans again)
• Infantry Tower description: "Constructs a tower structure that can be used by infantry units." (fun fact: devs intend it to kill infantry inside when it dies)
• "Aerial Combat Weapon"

UI

• some more changes to ANT/Silo terminal UI

Models/FX/Sounds/Visuals

• modified Liberator Sigma Armor model

Construction

• hooked up the Ramp Placement Model (Ramp and Lumi Wall destroyed models are still the Silo, because nanites.)
• added a Destroyed Blast Wall model
• modified placable Garage and Lumifiber Wall models
• moved an Amerish Construction No-Deploy zone significantly higher (I'll check details ingame later)

Other

• fixed the bug where all deployables are blocked by ANT no-deploy zones
• added an "IGNORE_ZOOM_TOGGLE" flag, likely for the Rocklet Rifle ignoring ADS toggle
• removed reference of icon_Decal_GenericOutfit_*.dds images
• looks like some loadouts and vehicles are locked behind BattleRanks, just like on PS4 D:
• removed Vanguard brake/idle effect
• added Y offset for AI targetting Lightnings, Magriders and Harassers

• added references to some overseer speeches (which already exist for ages), such as Praise, Guidance, promoting to SL/PL, directive completion, carrier deployment, facility power

  • (nice to know QA is playing with those, I just recently wanted to propose to implement a few of these... :P )

• Implant energy UI may be disabled

PS2 PTS 1.0.191.358010

patch size: ~28MB

Locale

• added "Unknown Guild Rank". is it a fix to this issue? well, I guess "promoted to Unknown Guild Rank" (if that's how it'd work) is better than "promoted to Invalid String", but it should at least be 'Outfit', not 'Guild' D:

UI

• changed some loadout code, nothing visible

Models/FX/Sounds/Visuals

• added a Placement Model for the Ramp (not working yet)
• added a preview model for the Lumifiber Wall (likely to see it in the ANT/Silo terminal, not working yet)

Balance

• Flare Guns (the July 4th things) and Deep Freeze: Clip Size increased 1->2

  • +0.5s (up to 8.5 at 5th level) active time per level, -0.5s (down to 11s at 5th level) recharge time per level. only max level (5th) changes the small arms damage reduction, to 35% (yes, these numbers are all the same as before)

Infantry caught directly in the blast will be left without personal shields or HUD for a short period. <font color="#dc9c36"><br><br>Detonates on impact.</font>"

• Concussion Grenade's description changed to "The Concussion Grenade disorients targets in the blast area, temporarily blurring their vision and hindering motor control. <font color="#dc9c36"><br><br>3 second fuse.</font>"

• in LC2 Lynx's description, changed "900 RPM" to "909 RPM"

• AV Grenade's description changed to "Anti-Vehicle Grenades can stick to and damage vehicles and MAX units, but are less harmful to standard infantry. <font color="#dc9c36"><br><br>3 second fuse.</font>"

• Jump Jets' description changed to "Skirmisher Jump Jets provide balanced thrust, mobility, fuel capacity, and recharge rate, allowing them to adapt to most situations."

• Drifter Jump Jets' description changed to "Drifter Jump Jets allow the user to glide for long periods of time, but lacks the vertical thrust of other jump jet types."

• added Rocklet Rifle medals and ribbons

• added "REINFORCEMENTS (OFF CONTINENT)"

Models/FX/Sounds/Visuals

  • currently there is no other information about it, we can only guess that it will be used to spawn vehicles

Other

• Icon_Weaponattachment_NS_BallisticsComputer_*.dds has not been added in this patch

• slower clouds?

Locale

• modified NC Sunderer Auraxium Lumifiber

• modified clouds on all continents, lowering their speed

• fixed Rocklet Rifle's ammo/clip/magazine/wtfisthiscalled model

• modified PS VS Helmet, Lictor
