The Crystal Dynamics team has been teasing several costumes for Hawkeye over the past week, including a Ronin costume that has many players excited.

On the list of features that have plays substantially less excited, is an XP/Leveling rework, that aims to add an additional 5 or more hours of leveling content, increasing the time it takes to level up. From the discord:
“There is so much variability in how quick you can gain XP (level types, mission selection, etc…), but the end result of our tuning was meant to add around 3-5 hours to reach the maximum level in total. This means leveling at a steadier place around every 2-4 missions at the upper end."

It’s also too early to tell what else we may see in the update in the way of fixes, but the team also stated that a gear revamp is also in the works. While it’s unlikely we will see that in the next update, we may still see some additional longstanding bug fixes and performance tweaks.
