Summary
Gameplay & Balance
This initial patch for Season 6 focuses on difficulty and progression tuning. The developers have halved the minimum spawn count for Scrabs to prevent high-hazard missions from becoming overwhelming. Additionally, the progression economy has been adjusted: Heavy Extraction missions now provide more base XP, while the Performance Point reward for Ossium has been significantly reduced.
Mission & Technical Fixes
Technical issues with the Pit Jaw Colony warning have led to its temporary removal from assignments and forced rotations. The patch also includes several visual refinements for the Gunner's Relic Raider skin and general animation polish for emotes.
