Summary

Weapon & Mod Overhaul

This update features a comprehensive rebalancing of the game's arsenal. Nearly every standard and special weapon received significant buffs to damage, accuracy, or handling. Highlights include a massive damage boost for the Huntmaster (70 to 105) and Starkiller's Gravity Core (350 to 750). Weapon mods like Witchfire and Prismatic Driver also saw substantial damage increases to make them more competitive in high-level builds.

Progression & Prisms

The Prism system has been significantly streamlined. The experience required to reach level 50 has been cut by 50%, and the jump to Legendary status is now much faster. Several Legendary Prism effects were adjusted, with buffs to Altruistic and Sadistic, while top-tier options like Sharpshooter and Jack of All Trades received slight nerfs to encourage build diversity.

Boss Rush & Quality of Life

Boss Rush mode now rewards significantly more experience for individual boss kills, even if the full run isn't completed. Technical improvements include updates to FSR 3.1.1 and DLSS 3.7.20, alongside numerous bug fixes for Archetype skills and quest progression.
