The on-kill gore effects will still affect different enemy body parts at random, but the damage will be normalised._ - Tweaked the Psyker “Nomanus Mk VI Surge Force Staff” to always trigger maximum on-kill gore effects on a critical hit kill. - Fixed an issue where the progress for collecting Scriptures and Grimoires for Melk’s contracts was no longer tracked. - Fixed an issue where the progress of the “Flawless Execution” penances chain was reset after the release of The Traitor Curse Part 1 Anniversary Update. **Dev note:** _The game will update to the progress value obtained in either up to Hotfix 1.2.03 or in The Traitor Curse Part 1 Anniversary Update, selecting the highest one. We apologise for the issue and for the possible loss of progress._ - When in unobtained status, the penances in the “Flawless Execution” chain will now display the current value being tracked instead of the best value ever achieved. **Dev note:** _Previously, the penance UI displayed the value for highest uninterrupted run performed by the player, and did not reset to 0 when the player got downed. This made it difficult to properly check the progress in unlocking the penance, as the actual progress being tracked by the game may not have been the one shown in the UI._ - Fixed an issue where the chest would clip through the breastplate of the Zealot “Krieg Greatcoat (Marked by Faith)” cosmetic on female characters. - Fixed an issue where the tassel on the “Duellists Autogun” weapon skin was affected by physics incorrectly. ---

Glad to see the surge staff fix, could we please have an option to have the body explosion always on, though? It’s hard to tell if an enemy died when they just flop on the floor. ---

Now trim down the fat on Vets tree, make Ammo aura a base class feature for all Veterans and make some new better auras, a Crit or Weakpoint aura would be nice. ---

It’s already off, but I think there’s some problems with the display of the skill. I think what’s being shown and what’s really happening do not match: there are enemies being hit that keep walking and attacking, and there are enemies detached from any lightning stream that are being shocked. ---
