7/6/2016 Changelog

## Official Notes

 *These are the official notes released by developers.*

* **None**

### Added

*This section outlines features and mechanics that a completely new to the game.*

* **If you break a legendary item, you get equivalent legendary weapon parts equal to number of remaining repair charges it has (IE. 7 charges remaining, disassemble weapon get 7 legendary weapon parts).**
* **Aggressors cannot instantly log out in safezones.**

### Changes

*This section outlines features and mechanics that have been adjusted for balance or ease of use.*

* Corpse Grinder no longer has single fire mode.
* Rename option now has a maximum length to prevent exploit with names.
* Aggressor no longer gives players 2x pk rating. Aggressor now simply functions as anti-safezone camping and no longer affects PK rating in any way compared to non-aggressor.
* Legendary Weapons now take 1 repair slot damage regardless if held in inventory or held in hand. (too many players un-equipping their legendary weapon before they die IE sniper rifle shooting and immediately stashing in inventory between shots).

### Fixes

*This section outlines changes that were made to fix bugs or other issues that would cause the game to function improperly.*

* Implemented a fix that hopefully addresses the stutter/freeze issue in PvP (appears it fixed only 1 type of stutter).
* Many fixes to rename option related exploits.
* A bug was found with tree collisions and has been fixed.
* Bug related to 0 health rounding bug has been fixed.

### Removed

*This section outlines features or mechanics that have been removed from the game completely.*

* **None**
