- Attachments are rated depending on their class. The following attachments are used: Scopes, foregrip, bipod, lasers, sights, muzzle, stock, sling.
- Attachments are rated just like any other item during the militia equipment process is. For now this is simply status * coolness.
- After evaluation, attachments are added in the above order. This means that militia will now take bipod attachments, but always prefer foregrips for their shared slot.

Bugfixes:
- Fix: Watched Locations system (never worked in 1.13)

AI/tactical improvements:
- EstimateThrowDamage additionally calculates damage from fragments (important for AI to use frag grenades with low main damage and many fragments)
- EstimateThrowDamage correctly adds IndoorModifier
- Additional checks for RED suppression (check that the soldier will not shoot his friends, check that he has extra clip to reload weapon, check that target is not cowering, don't suppress when flanking)
- ClosestReachableDisturbance will use general noise only if cannot find any enemy
- Allow RED seeking in prone stance if we haven't seen enemy for several turns
Flanking improvements:
- allow YELLOW flanking for CLOSEPATROL at night
- better YELLOW/RED flanking start/stop conditions
- better RED AI behavior when finished flanking (try to reach flanking spot)
- allow RED flanking for CLOSEPATROL soldiers when at night, overcrowded or no other flanking soldiers yet
Optional AI improvements:
AI_EXTRA_SUPPRESSION
- AI will use suppression fire more often in RED state (set minimum AI CTH to 1)
AI_NEW_MORALE
- Better dynamic morale calculation depending on tactical situation.
- Additional min/max limits for AI morale
- Disabled HOPELESS morale for soldiers without guns (they can pick up weapon or attack with hands sometimes)
AI_BETTER_COVER

AI_EXTRA_FLANKING
- Allow flanking for BRAVEAID/BRAVESOLO

Modified the Ranger trait to make it more useful after loosing all survival bonuses:
- aim click bonus for shotguns is now again 1 (hunter) or 2 (ranger)
- new aim click bonus for rifles that is half the shotgun bonus. With the default value of "1" this means 0 for hunter and 1 for ranger. This does NOT stack with the sniper bonus! It's one or the other depending on which is higher.
- new speed bonus to reloading single shells into shotguns
- new range bonus for shotguns of 10% (hunter) or 20% (ranger)
EDB now displays the trait modified values for:
- Gun Range
- Draw Cost

If the player killed all boxers during these fights the check would fail. A new externalized parameter "KINGPIN_RING_TILE" for Kingpins location at the ring was implemented. This is used to check if Kingpin is watching these first three fights. If so it will override the BoxersAvailable check.
fix: AI could be gathering around an empty player vehicle. Disturbance check should from now on ignore that.

- performing suspicious activities renders a spy easily identifiable for a short time (realtime) or until he ha spend enough AP (turnbased). This should make exploiting disguises harder.
- if a spy is closer than COVERT_ELITES_UNCOVER_RADIUS to an elite or officer, they can uncover the spy, depending on uniform worn an experience levels.
