The Elite mod 2.3.1 patch is out and contains many improvements such as sync kills, hotkeys, vehicle rotations, and the much awaited sniper changes. Would like to mention that if you made any hotkey changes, they will have to be redone. This patch requires 2.3 to be installed first and then 2.3.1 to be installed over it.
