The now-defunct Gold Edition - Year 2 contained the base game, the second season pass (Jackal & Mira, Ying & Lesion & Ela, and Dokkaebi & Vigil & Zofia) and 600 R6 Credits.
The now-defunct Gold Edition - Year 3 contained the base game, the third season pass (Lion & Finka, Maestro & Alibi, Maverick & Clash, and Nomad & Kaid) and 600 R6 Credits.
The now-defunct Gold Edition - Year 4 contains the base game, the fourth season pass (Gridlock & Mozzie, Nøkk & Warden, Amaru & Goyo, and Kali & Wamai) and 600 R6 Credits.
The now-defunct Complete Edition contains the base game, the first four season passes and 600 R6 Credits.

Mouse sensitivity

The game's sensitivity is set up to give more sensitivity than usual.
Changes horizontal/vertical and aim down sights mouse sensitivity multipliers
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open GameSettings.ini.
  3. Locate lines and set values to MouseSensitivityMultiplierUnit=0.010000 and ADSMouseMultiplierUnit=0.010000.
  4. Start the game and set your desired sensitivity via sliders through the settings.

Notes

This change will modify in-game sensitivity multipliers to be more precise and give a better mouse response while looking and aiming. Normally sensitivity horizontal/vertical and aim down sights at its default values should be fine.
