Was the buff announced?
Yes, in 7.0.0.
Arrowhead confirms the AR-59 Suppressor short-magazine buff did not apply and the attachment remains at its pre-patch live values.
Arrowhead confirms that the AR-59 Suppressor short-magazine buff did not go through. Although 7.0.0 announced higher spare and starting magazine counts for this attachment group, the AR-59 remains at its pre-patch values.
The notes grouped the AR-59 with several Liberator-family short magazines and announced spare magazines increasing from 12 to 16 and starting magazines from 7 to 9.
The current Known Issues article says the AR-59 change did not apply. Intended numbers are not presented as verified live values.
Editorial recommendation: compare the actual Armory display and live reserve before building around the intended increase. Treat older summaries as incomplete if they omit the Known Issue.
When Arrowhead announces a fix, record the fixed version, re-check live values, update the weapon hub, and move this page from Active to Fixed.
Yes, in 7.0.0.
Arrowhead currently says no.
Not until fixed and verified.
