Slow Motion Enhancements
The update also introduces additional slow motion presets, giving players greater control over the speed of gameplay. Players can now toggle between their custom slow motion value and three new presets: 30%, 50%, and 75%. This provides more flexibility for players to fine-tune the pace of the game according to their preferences or needs.
