    Bye HCF. I will always remember the times of bringing my irl friends onto it and starting our first map on map 16. You also gave us new friends that used to be enemies on it. The adrenaline rush of hcf will also never be forgotten.

    Ahem...

    The bugfix in RED has not been fixed as of this moment. When is the rollout for this update?

    Drop zones and caches spawn empty chests. Some chests are still full of diamonds which do nothing.

    "that" was low hanging fruit, something I could fix.

    In development a lot of times you fix the easiest things first
