Hotfix #78, version 1.9.2, is rolling out across platforms and targets enemy balance, stability and several UI problems. The biggest gameplay change is a set of nerfs to the Scab Plasma Gunner, while the patch also brings a number of crash fixes and quality of life corrections.
The update increases the Plasma Gunner’s aim duration and shoot cooldown, reduces its power and base HP, removes wall penetration and limits how many can spawn on each difficulty. Ogryn melee has a small tweak to block chaining. A pacing bug that accidentally boosted the chance for coordinated strikes on higher difficulties has also been fixed, and several crashes that could occur in intense combat, menus or cosmetics screens have been addressed.

Known Issues
- There is a rare crash occurring when trying to equip items to a character. It is affecting players with old loadout preset data.
- As a workaround we recommend creating a new preset, this should fix the problem. When we deploy a fix to this bug, some players might lose their preset – not their character, just the build preset.
Players who were frustrated by surprise Plasma Gunner hits or the rare crashes should see immediate relief, especially on higher difficulties. Share thoughts in the comments and follow us on X and Bluesky.
