Ray tracing will be available across Campaign, Multiplayer and DMZ. The PC version will also include an in-game Benchmark Tool that measures average FPS, CPU and GPU performance, ping and input latency. The game will introduce an Enhanced FOV option on PC that increases the field of view around the edges of the display while keeping the centre FOV unchanged. Other changes include HDR10+ support, additional sharpness and shading settings, improved reflections and shadows, and weapon visual effects that are dynamically masked around the point of aim. Depth of Field will be divided into World Depth of Field and Weapon Depth of Field. Weapon firing has also been changed so bullets originate from the weapon barrel rather than being randomly distributed within an area.
