Summary

Gameplay & Mechanics

Hotfix #84 introduces an experimental change where dodge stats from talent trees now impact incoming ranged damage instead of just melee damage. While developers noted this is currently 'too effective' and will be adjusted later, it provides a significant temporary buff to survivability. Additionally, the Stimm Lab UI has been updated with clearer information.

Combat & Weapon Fixes

A major fix has been implemented for peril and overheat mechanics, ensuring that explosions from over-capping these resources now trigger correctly across weapons and abilities. Performance spikes related to peril gain/loss calculations have also been optimized. Visual bugs for the Stub Pistol and Boom Bringer missile have been resolved, including floating magazines and model clipping.

Platform & Cosmetic Updates

PS5 players should no longer experience limitations with the in-game chat. For cosmetics, several clipping issues with backpack accessories on Ogryn, Psyker, and Veteran armors have been fixed, and the Assassin's Blade weapon skin has been restored to its intended shorter length.
