Update 12.5 Patch Notes

Posted onto Reddit, the next update will bring a much-needed optimisation to optics, which should greatly improve the frame rate when using them.

A new service called the 'Therapist' will allow players to heal right after a raid ends and allow you to see which parts of the body you didn't treat while damaged.

Players will also no longer be able to use another item until the use of the previous one has completed.
