  • PS4 Pro Controller on PC – The game correctly recognizes the new PS4 Pro Controller when it is connected to the PC version of the game.
  • Pull an Enemy – Removed the ability for 47 to pull people over balconies or out of windows when he is hanging on a ledge or below the balcony/window. There was a known issue for this move when it was introduced in November update. It will be re-introduced with a game update in January.
