Patch Notes
This update is packed with some juicy enhancements that players have been craving for a while now! Let’s kick things off with the content improvements:
- Content Improvements:
-
- The number of Ultimate Tier External Components from defeating Colossi in Hard Difficulty Void Intercept Battle has jumped from 2 to 8 – talk about a boost!
- Hunter External Components gained from Named targets in Void Vessel now go up to a whopping 8 instead of just 1.
- If you manage to complete the 400% Infiltration Operation Mission, you’ll snag yourself not one but four sets of Ultimate Tier External Components for each Mission!
- A few monster adjustments come into play too! The chance for Abomination monsters to spawn in stages 28/29 of Void Erosion Purge has been reduced from 25% to just 10%, plus they’ve been eliminated from battle range entirely.
-
- Weapons & Modules:
-
- No more visual blockages with the “Restored Relic” Cluster Round’s trajectories—this fix was long overdue!
- Your Firearms Attribute ATK will now show an increase when you nail those Weak Point Damage hits.
-
- External Components: Set Effects and Values of six types of External Components have seen some adjustments.
- User Interface & User Experience: The shop’s Common Cosmetic Items sub-category Paint will take top billing now!
- Miscellaneous: You can now toggle off Explosive Effects from all players and hide other player titles or your DMG values on-screen – finally, some customization options we’ve wanted!
Bugs? Not anymore! Here are some crucial fixes that should smooth out your adventures:
- Bugs Fixed: – Commander won’t spawn unless you’ve defeated required monsters in certain stages. – Gold Gain amounts for dismissing Keelan, Ultimate Freyna, and Ultimate Sharen were fixed as they were less than intended. – Hailey’s Cryogenic effect visuals will no longer linger after their duration ends under specific conditions. – Issues regarding weapon descriptions have been corrected too. – And many UI quirks—including restarts after missions—have been addressed!
