MULTIPLAYER

Weapons

Submachine Guns
- AK-74u
  - Increased base sprint speed to align with other SMG sprint speeds.
  - Increased shooting move speed and reload sprint speed.
- Attachments (All SMGs)
  - Patrol Grip Underbarrel
    - Slightly reduced sprint speed bonus for Patrol Grip Underbarrel for SMGs to match Pistol sprint speed.
Assault Rifles
- QBZ-83
  - Attachments
    - Patrol Grip Underbarrel
      - Added a sprint to fire bonus for the Patrol Grip Underbarrel.
      - Slightly reduced the Patrol Grip sprint speed bonus.
Attachments (Assault Rifles, Tactical Rifles, Sniper Rifles)
- Speedgrip Underbarrel
  - Slightly reduced sprint speed bonus for the Speedgrip Underbarrel on Assault Rifles, Tactical Rifles, and Sniper Rifles to ensure SMGs maintain a faster sprint speed when using the same attachment.

Developer’s note: The overall goal of these changes is to ensure that SMGs are faster to use than assault rifles by default. The AK-74u required some slight speed increases in order to bring it in-line with the rest of its class, and sprint speed bonuses for the Speedgrip Underbarrel on assault rifles, tactical rifles, and sniper rifles required an adjustment to ensure SMGs are faster to sprint with compared to these classes when using this attachment.

Movement

Made adjustments to the delay when transitioning between crouch and stand.
