"Taped Grip (and Leather) are now 'as intended,'" Ackland Tweeted. "I know that might come as a disappointment to some, but will own up to the mistake â fostering a healthy skill gap is a goal, but this was pretty insane.
"The primary goal of the attachment tuning was to enable choice when building a load out. 'Some' increased mobility on Taped is still a valuable pick when going for your 'gotta go fast' builds."
