Hello everyone!  Long time no update.  I know that it has been a while but hopefully what this update has packed up into it will be worth it, it brings a whole crate load of new guns, gun updates, a new map and map updates, as well as other fixes and changes!

As a slightly more somber note there are no guarantees that Quick Fire may get major updates again in the future, the project has managed to creep into a state where it is becoming hard to balance and fix, and yet we have more ideas we want to add, so while we may come back to it you might want to look out for any other projects coming out from microman502 in the future!

Anyway, enough jabbering about sad stuff, onto the real meat of the matter!  If you have any other questions about Quick Fire or this update you can ask them on the Discord;  https://discord.gg/cTStS9RTX7
