Patch Notes – The Vallis Undermind – Hotfix 40.0.1
Summary
- Hotfix focused on critical fixes and general polish that missed the release candidate.
- Players can request refunds for specific purchases via Support if needed.

- If you purchased these Animation Sets purely for the Yareli interaction, you can request a refund by submitting a Support Ticket.
- Added Primary Crux, Secondary Enervate, and Melee Doughty to the Höllvania Arcane Collection in Loid’s Arcane Dissolution vendor.
Nokko Fixes:
- Fixed Nokko’s Reroot causing players to spawn at its original casting point when entering a respawn volume (i.e. falling off the map, etc.).

The Teacher Changes & Fixes:
- Equipped Mods are now hidden in The Teacher Quest after players attempt to Dissolve an equipped Stormbringer.
- Our intention is to teach players about how to identify equipped vs unequipped Mods in the Mod Menu, so this change lets us keep that learning moment, but remove further obstacles if they are still confused by it.
- Disabled Filters in the Mod and Upgrade Menus during The Teacher quest, as they were causing issues with player progression.

Top Fixes:

- With a future hotfix, we’ll be running a script to add Gravimags to purchased Arbuceps and refund any purchased Gravimags that were installed in purchased Arbuceps.

- Fixed the accidental removal of the Somatics D11 and Somatics Asa-03 Operator Facial Markings.
