Am I just stoned or are the graphics getting better?

I noticed yesterday that certain weapons are looking better. I fully modded a pump shotty and when viewing it a noticed it had a big *** blade the covered the pistol guard. Never seen that before. Also when leaving one of the towns I noticed fog rolling in and the windmills had lights on them. Looked eerie.
One thing that baffled me was this huge red blinking target on the ground, found it out in the middle of no where, nothing was around it, and nothing happened while standing on it for more then 20mins, anyone else seen one?

This is about the time the OP realises that they don't even own the game and they were just REALLY stoned and reading the back of a cereal box

I do think the new hellbug skins look very pretty. A lot nicer than the usual. That's probably more aesthetics than graphics though, I guess.

Those big red targets are leftovers from Arkfall targets. They tend to appear anywhere you can find a regularly occurring arkfall.

Fog is part of the weather they have in the game. It's pretty common as it's the bay area. Not sure how it's affecting performance as I'm not aware of how they have it implemented but it could either be a hindrance, or act like the general fog of war and limit line of sight thus rendering less on screen and giving you a boost.

I have noticed an increase in lens flare but weapons appear the same for me. However mods can affect the appearance of weapons. Is the butt stock of the shotgun a melee bump? Could be it.

I've noticed the increasing lens flares as well, at least I think I have. General framerate has increased for me overall though, with no reduction in graphics detail fortunately.

Okay great, thanxs for the feed back. Smoked alot yesterday and couldn't figure certain things out. I've noticed improved graphics on the Shotguns (it is a melee thingy), Infectors (the three tubes that stick out used to be a bland yellow, now they are more tubular and have coils around them), and Blast Rifles (they seem more colorful). As for the red target, that makes sense, thanxs for letting me know RevJynxed.

Did you take the blue pill or the red one?

Yes, that is the effect of Trion failing to launch an arkfall.
