[Jado]

I’m happy for you, big man!

[Padds]

gj , must admit i was expecting some content drop when i saw the size of the patch , but fixes for the dead and pointless mode is good i guess?

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Despite being called out as a problem by so many players, why has Inferno (Soulblaze) been left untouched for so long?
does the dev team not consider it to be an issue?

[Dizzy721]

Is the chat bubbles functionality new? Or am I tripping?

• Dark Communion - Fixed an issue where sound would not propagate correctly through the archway leading to the end event cathedral area.

I’m stating the obvious here, but that’s not the only area or map, with broken audio “logic”. Few examples:

• the bar area (where one of the secrets is) on Warren_6-19 map
• the first player respawn area on Chasm Station

Smoke Grenades - Veteran Blitz

• Updated the visual effects of the smoke cloud to be less obscuring and to more clearly show the affected area.

Unreal, maybe Snoop Dog cosplayer vets will no longer be annoying

Expeditions is saved, we got another version of the cluttered debris filled tunnel to barter with Swagger in! Definitely needed over touching the timer, which you didn’t do. But you planned for that by not introducing any new modifiers. Its not like they would be needed, since the few people in this mode only hang out on the gridpoint with a 30 minute timer, which only ever has the time of day possibly altered. Couldn’t even be arsed to give us a rundown of what daytime does differently, like c’mon now do I have to tell you how to sell things now too?

And the main auspex overhaul that is needed is to put the freaking objectives on the navigation bar WITHOUT having to press them on the auspex! At the very least let us mark all 4 points? Why even have a navigation bar without doing that? Just copy Helldivers the rest of the way here. You just put a ton of non-navigational reasons to pull up the auspex, so could we have this actual QoL that would massively help with player confusion?

*Fixed an issue where the ‘Perfectionist’ talent could refund Cooldown multiple times on the same attack.

I think you could have limited this to twice per activation, there were some legitimately fun non-exploiting applications of this, like getting 2 backstabs with the slashing knife mark on weaker elites or trash. getting 100% ult back was broken, but a little extra for using it to mop up multiple weaker enemies instead of waiting for an ogryn felt like a nice bonus.

Participating in the event will reward players with Ordo Dockets, Plasteel, Diamantine, and this brand new Portrait Frame!

Y’all just refuse to give out useful rewards, huh?

Well, at least this might be slightly helpful for levelling with.

[Gideon404]

Mordian Iron Guard? Nice.

[Fragtal]

I mean, its the year 2026 and i still have to reroll the 16 grimoire weekly reward every week on every character.

@Ragnarok101

Wasn’t that obvious?

They made it clear they rather see the Expeditions die than budge on the absolute rewardless meaninglessness of it. Why would they budge on such a small thing like events?

@FatsharkQuickpaw

• Bloodletter Blessing
  • Changed behavior so that Bleed stacks will be now applied on each damage instance of Special active attacks, instead of only the initial hit.
  • Affects the following weapon families:
    • Heavy Eviscerators
    • Assault Chainswords
    • Assault Chainaxes
  • Dev Note
    • The Heavy Eviscerator version of this Blessing has a lower Bleed stacks value due to the Cleave properties of its Special active attacks, allowing it to spread Bleed on multiple enemies. This however caused the Blessing to be less effective in delivering its bonus when actually ripping into an enemy. Note that the total Bleed stacks are still capped

Oh hey this thing. Finally I can remove it as a bug! It’s another undocumented change that went unexplained for no reason instead. Baby steps I guess.

[Latifa]

Seriously? Puddles again? Are you kidding me? Another season of puddles?

[FatsharkQuickpaw]

Added the following missing patch notes to the main post:

Enemies:

Balance Changes:

As part of our ongoing balance commitment continuing on from the previous reduction to Ogryn enemies (and at the time, specifically the Crusher), with the release of the Vanguards we’ve reduced the amounts of Bulwarks throughout the missions.

General Changes:

• Poxburster
  • Poxbursters will only initiate their lunge when facing the player, to prevent poxbursters jumping around corners
• Ogryn - Point-Blank Barrage Max Cooldown 80s → 60s

How do I buy the new class on Gamepass PC ?

[MarxistDictator]

Wait like 2 more hours.

Expeditions Update

This update also sees an injection of new content into the Expeditions game mode, as well as various quality of life changes and reworks of certain systems!

• New time of day: Dawn
• New Expeditions level content, including:
  • New Scavenge Zone
  • New Sites of Interest, with electric hazards!
  • New Deadsider Sanctuary.

OK, that sounds neat. I’ll be checking those out at some point.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

• Reworked how Tech-Remnants are shared.
  • Players no longer have a personal Tech-Remnant pool. Instead, Tech-Remnants picked up by a member of the strike team are added to the team’s shared pool.
  • Whenever a player dies (does not apply to bots), the team’s pool is reduced by 25%.
    • This only happens if the team has more than 100 Tech-Remnants.
    • 50% of this value is dropped at the spot where the player died.
    • The team can retrieve the remaining 50% of the deducted value if they rescue the player that died.
  • If a hog-tied player is teleported to a Deadsider Sanctuary, the Tech-Remnants attached to them are lost.
  • For each alive player missing from the Valkyrie at the moment of extraction, 25% of the pool is reduced in the End of Round screen.

Unless you DRAMATICALLY boosted the number of Tech-Remnants we can pick up (and added even more Tech-Remnants at higher difficulties), these changes sound potentially like a massive mistake. People don’t like grinding and at first glance this makes the grind worse. I feel lucky that I grinded out the full clothing set earlier.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

• Improvements to the Auspex:
  • Sites of Interest, Scavenge Zone exits, and extraction points can now be marked on the Auspex by up to four players.
  • Data Reliquaries show up on the Auspex once they’ve been picked up for the first time.
  • Hog-tied players are displayed on the Auspex.
  • Pressing the equip button for the Auspex while already equipped will now switch back to the previously equipped weapon or item.
  • The Auspex map does not start in focused mode if the player is moving while equipping it. You can unfocus the map by sprint or dodging.
• Added more respawn points to all Scavenge Zones.
• Improved Ordo Docket and Experience rewards for failed runs.

These are good changes.

I’d love to see new maps using the Clandestium Gloriana assets, and I’d love even more a new biome/mapset that has some plants and fungi.

After Skitarii, only major thing before you guys go on summer vacation is the Feast of Grimnir right?

Yeah I’m really glad I finished all my grind penances for expeditions before this horrible update which will just add to toxicity and blame for players who get downed etc.

I only finished that cursed scrap penance just a few days ago and it’s ALL I’VE DONE since expeditions was released. So I’m pretty sick of expeditions.

That said, does anyone know how expeditions compares to main missions for xp and levelling up? Is it roughly the same (per time spent)?
