8) Dirt Bike and Port-A-Bunker unvaulted and weapon changes

Dirt Bikes have returned due to popular demand and just in time too. With ODM Gear and Thunder Spears now in the loot pool, players will need something fast to outrun opponents. In addition to these death-defying machines, Port-A-Bunkers have also been added to the loot pools and will offer some protection against weapons in battle.

It would seem that a new rarity of Kinetic Blade has been added to the game. This one will only hold two charges instead of three. On the brighter side of things, the Mythic Havoc Shotgun has been nerfed, and it now deals less headshot damage. Last but not least, the accuracy and hipfire rate of the Overclocked Mythic Pulse Rifle has been thankfully nerfed as well.
