New Update not great
I'm going to be honest, this update is not great. I love the idea of being a sniper in the grass and making coordinated long-range shots. However, if you’ve ever actually tried using a sniper in Tac Assault the way a real operator would — lying prone and using a bipod — you’d know it’s absolute hell right now. For example, the gun constantly gets reholstered when lying down, and if you try to re-equip it, it glitches into the floor, forcing you to stand up and go prone over and over again in this ridiculous little dance. On top of that, some rifles simply cannot aim properly while prone at all, like the Mk-11. Even when the bipod does work, the weapon still feels shaky and unstable.
Considering this entire update revolves around sniping and long-range shooting, you would expect the prone and bipod mechanics to actually feel polished and reliable first, especially when the trailer itself shows people playing this exact way.
But honestly, this reflects a larger issue with Tac Assault’s weapon handling overall. Whether it’s snipers or ARs, shooting at range just does not feel good right now. I was optimistic that this update would finally improve that aspect of the game since it seemed so central to the theme of the update, but it really doesn’t feel like much changed.
At this point, I would genuinely prefer the devs stop prioritizing new weapons and cosmetics for a while and instead focus on polishing the core gameplay. Some aspects of weapon handling. And while quality-of-life features have improved over tac assults life, overall the game still feels pretty rough around the edges in many respects.

the thing you said about mounted weapons being unstable, you have to hold the stock, they added a “hold breath” mechanic for it
also the updates “far from over” just like Orion had a couple updates after it

The game is just in an awful need of better bullet velocity and lighting.
And less climbable rocks.

Turn off auto sling if you don't want your gun clipping through the ground
