Earning the “Master” achievement for a weapon will unlock the shiny new ✨[i]golden[/i]✨skin for that weapon. Other skins can be acquired with Ghost Shards like other cosmetics.

Their revamped AI will employ improved strategies and navigation - and will make for indispensable allies or formidable foes! Ever envisioned a Hunter bot equipped with a Radar following you on the hunt? Your wish is now a command away! Direct them to wield specific weapons or perks, or simply have them follow your lead. They also now have 3 difficultly levels for you to choose from (easy, normal, hard), or leave them on auto to adjust to the average player level in the server! But that's not all – these bots now exude more personality than ever with fresh names, skins, and profile pictures!

Generally, the effects are warmer colors so they contrast better against all the Ghost blue.
