Company of Heroes 3 Hot Fix 2.5.6 closes an exploit that allowed Final Stand perks to appear in multiplayer matches. The official Steam notes for Hot Fix 2.5.6 list one gameplay fix focused on keeping those perks out of multiplayer.

Final Stand is a separate mode with its own perk system, so the issue could give multiplayer players access to advantages that were not meant to be part of those matches. The hotfix addresses that crossover without announcing any other gameplay, stability, or balance changes.

The update follows Hot Fix 2.5.5, which addressed an artillery cooldown exploit and added crash logging.
