Devoted Rejects!

Here are the Patch Notes for Patch #13: Class Overhaul. Not all our notes would fit in one post! To read the rest of the patch notes please click here to continue reading.

New Features & Improvements

Talent Trees

We have replaced the old Feats with new Talent Trees!

Instead of unlocking a new row of feats every 5 levels, you will now be granted one Talent Point for each level you reach, to a maximum of 30 points at level 30. Spending and removing points in the Trees is free, so don’t be afraid of trying out different configurations and creating multiple presets!

Every Class will start with a Baseline Ability, Blitz, and Aura (Most of them are the same ones you are playing with today), and in the Trees you will find options to upgrade them or replace them completely with new ones. For a few Classes this means that we’ve also lowered the strength of the Baseline Abilities, and you’ll instead be able to regain the lost power further down in the Trees.

Most of the Feats that were available to you before can be found scattered around in these Trees, so if you loved the build and playstyle you had before, it should still be available to you even with these changes!

Veteran

  • Volley Fire: No longer designates Elites and Specials as a baseline. You can upgrade Volley Fire to include this feature further down in the Tree instead.

  • Scavenger/scroungers aura: Changed to keep track of “leftover” percentages and apply it on later procs instead of rounding up on every proc. For example, you are about to replenish 0.5 ammo. Earlier we would round it up to 1 ammo, but now you will instead store it away and replenish the stored ammo once it adds up to 1.

Psyker

  • Psykinetic’s Wrath: Reduces the Quell amount of the baseline ability. You can increase this further down in the Tree.

  • Brain Burst: Lowered the damage of the baseline ability. You can increase the damage further down in the Tree.

  • Kinetic Presence: As a baseline we’ve replaced this with ‘The Quickening’, reducing Ability Cooldowns for you and allies in coherency. You can still find Kinetic Presence further down in the Tree.

Changes

Enemies

  • General

    • Adjusted most enemy health pools, hit mass values, and stagger thresholds to be a bit higher overall, with higher increase on Monstrosities, with the goal to match the overall increase in power output from players.

    • Added more ways for the Conflict Director to spawn hordes. Hordes can now spawn in different ways to respond to player behaviour, including coordinated strike with Specialists, mixed in Elites with the horde, push from behind while ranged enemies spawn ahead, bigger ambushes with more spread and more.

    • Replaced fast transitioning sprint animations for far ranged enemies with a smoother start animation for easier aiming.

    • Fixed so Dreg Bruisers have right hit sounds based on their blunt weaponry.

    • Fixed an issue where Monstrosities that were meant to be Weakened did not receive the Weakened debuff in Monstrous Specialists condition.

  • Pox Hound

    • Made improvements to the way Pox Hound leaps are calculated for more consistent & reliable behaviour.

  • Mutant

    • Tuned functionality for when players dodges Mutants on high latency.

    • Fixed a case where Mutant could bring players into enemies’ spawn rooms.

  • Poxburster

    • Increased Poxburster explosion vs Infested so Poxburster chain explosions can happen.

    • Fixed a case where Poxburster could ignore stagger if just walked in fire.

    • Fixed issue when using Surge Force Staff secondary on Poxbursters that would make them stagger backwards multiple times during a very short timeframe.

  • Bomber

    • Reduced radius of stun when grenades detonate by around 50%, reduced stun duration.

  • Beast of Nurgle

    • Increased corruption gained when eaten by Beast of Nurgle.

  • Chaos Spawn

    • Made Chaos Spawn grab a bit easier to dodge.

    • Tweaked Chaos Spawn attack durations to give players a bit extra room to get in melee hits between attacks.

    • Slightly reduced Chaos Spawn combo damage.

    • Reduced knockback radius for leap land, reduced force on players, Ogryns only get pushed.

    • Made improvements to the way Chaos Spawn leaps are calculated for more consistent & reliable behaviour.

  • Plague Ogryn

    • Switch Plague Ogryn broken stomp particles to better match the stomp, increase stomp radius.

    • Fixed case where Plague Ogryn charge push had wrong direction when hitting players.

  • Corruptor

    • Reduced tentacle regrowth speed from 2 to 1.5 on Damnation.

Balance

Almost all of the weapon and blessing changes were made with the help of closed community testing where we got the opportunity to hang out with members of the community while giving them early builds to try and feedback on. These tests also gave us a lot of early feedback regarding the talents and new abilities which helped us iron out rough bits of the balance. We want to extend a huge thanks to these people, as they have been very important to help us iterate on the balance.

Some balance changes made in these tests are still being worked on and will be released in future patches.

Blessings

Below you will find a list of changes to blessings in this patch. We have made some functional changes to some of them, and a pass on number values and/or tier scaling. Further down you will find a detailed list of all number/tier changes. The goal has been to bring underused blessings up, and reduce the effectiveness of certain blessings that have been overperforming, but still keep them at the same level as similar blessings.

Changes & Bug Fixes:

Chained hits

  • All melee blessings that rely on ‘chained hits’ have been tuned to be more easily used. You’ll no longer drop the buff when being staggered/suppressed/etc, only if you drop the combo (stop attacking) or if you miss an attack.

Adhesive Charge

  • Now sticks to Ogryn as well as Monstrosities.

Deathspitter

  • Fixed issue where “Deathspitter” would only add 1 stack if shot killed multiple enemies, now it adds 1 stack per enemy killed.

Decapitator

  • Now gives a Finesse bonus (+18-24%) instead of a Rending bonus.

Fan the Flames

  • Now also grants an Impact bonus (+30-45%) on hip-fire.

Fire Frenzy

  • Fixed issue where blessing “Fire Frenzy” would only add 1 stack if shot killed multiple enemies, now it adds 1 stack per enemy killed.

Powderburn

  • Added a Damage vs Suppressed bonus (+14-20%).

Punishing Salvo

  • Now applies to 3rd and 4th shot in salvo, instead of 2nd and 3rd.

Rampage

  • Now grants Power bonus (+24-36) instead of just regular damage.

Run ‘n’ Gun

  • Now grants some Close Ranged Damage (+10%) and better Spread (-30%) on top of being able to sprint while firing. - Should allow you to play a bit more aggressively.

Scattershot

  • Now grants up to 5 stacks of +6-12% Critical Chance for your next shot, depending on how many Enemies you hit with your previous shot.

Showstopper

  • Now applies to Special Enemies as well - (they explode).

Speedload

  • Changed ‘Reload speed bonus after sliding’ to ‘Reload speed after close melee kill’.

Stripped Down

  • Now grants Ranged Attack Immunity while Sprinting with over 80-50% Stamina.

Tenderiser

  • Now gives Power bonus for a duration (3.5 seconds) instead of ‘for the next 3 attacks’.

Brutal Momentum

  • Reworked from ‘ignoring Hit Mass for a duration’, to only ‘ignoring Hit Mass for Weakspot Kills’. Tiers now grant Weakspot Damage Bonuses instead of Buff Durations.

Limbsplitter

  • Removed negative Power bonus and ‘first attack’ requirement. Now gives Power bonus once, resetting after a cooldown instead.

Gameplay

  • Fixed issue where projectiles and grenades could sometimes fall through the ground.

  • Fixed issue where stinger would not play when a projectile killed an Elite or Specialist enemy.

  • Fixed an issue where explosive barrels would apply buffs from the player that attacked the barrel. This could cause issues like being instantly killed by barrels by having enough damage and rending buffs.

Updates and Tweaks

Gameplay

  • Enemies now have lower hit mass(value calculated to determine if a sweep stops or not) if staggered, the reduction increases with stagger strength.

  • Combat and Blitz abilities can now be used while sliding.

  • Lowered the time where inputs were locked after sprint-jumping. This should make it possible to more quickly aim or shoot a secondary weapon after jumping off a ledge.

  • Tagging will now prefer enemies over pickups if there’s both a valid enemy and pickup near the crosshair.

Damage

Rending

  • Rending has changed a bit. Before, rend was complicated and worked differently for different weapons. It scaled how much damage was blocked by different armour types but with maths making an Ogryns head hurt. Now it’s simpler. It works on anything that’s not just naked or rotting. It works on the Mutants. It works on the Monsters. It works on any armour. Any Rend you have is just added. Until you do full damage. After that it still helps you do more damage, just not as much. If you have a shovel that does 20% damage on the big Carapace guys. With 4% rend, you will now do 24% damage, cause 20 plus 4 is 24. On stuff that already does full damage, it will add 1% damage instead. It always adds 1% more for every 4% Rend you have. Still maths that makes an Ogryns head hurt. Just not as much. And it helps kill things on all weapons.

  • Clamp to 16 stacks of 2.5% each, max capping to old 40% on each instance of buff (player/target) for a sum “normal” cap of 80%.

  • Add armour setting for armour type rend mod, setting Flak to 100% and Carapace to 50% - limiting the carapace removal down a bit.

  • Finesse damage is now applied after Rending.

  • Backstab/Flanking:

  • Backstab/Flanking damage is now multiplicative.

  • Pass on toughness and damage reduction:

  • Ensure we’re using buff modified toughness damage amount for melee calculations. Was using base damage before, so toughness damage reduction buffs had no effect on melee hits.

  • Remove mandatory bleedthrough from Maulers/Crushers default attacks, moved that to their Cleave (overhead) attacks to work in combination with damage spillover to make smoother and guaranteed damage output.

  • Calculate bleedthrough and spillover separately and correctly for damage amounts covered by current toughness. Previously we overrode any bleedthrough if there was spillover, causing damage amounts just over the current toughness to do less damage than damage amounts just below current toughness.

Penances

  • Fixed an issue where the “No One Left Behind” Penance was unlocked upon rescuing a third player instead of at mission completion.
  • Swapped the highlights on completed and incomplete penances: Now the penances that have already been completed will be greyed out while the incomplete ones will remain highlighted.*

Missions

  • Fix for the world not loading before stepping off the elevator at Relay Station TRS-150

  • Improved spacing of respawn beacons in Relay Station TRS-150

  • Fixed sudden Daemonhost spawn in Relay Station TRS150 as well as respawn beacons being more consistent with progress in the end event.

  • Fixed unreachable pickups and chests in: The Hourglass, Hab Dreyko, Silo Cluster 18-66/a & Vigil Station Oblivium

  • Removed a health station in Enclavum Baross due to it being too close to the previous one

  • Fixed an issue in the endevent of Enclavum Baross where players could not mark enemies on the opposite side of the landing pad

  • Fixed an issue in Comms-Plex 154/2f where the objective marker stayed after sending the message in the endevent

  • Fixed a spot in the mid-event of Consignment Yard HL17-36 where players could exit the intended gameplay space.

  • Performance improvements in Consignment Yard HL17-36

  • Fixed players being able to disrupt Specialist enemies spawning at the end of Ascension Riser 31.

  • Fixed an issue where some objects could become invisible when joining an ongoing mission in Ascension Riser 31

  • Performance improvements in Ascension Riser 31

  • Fixed a tome location in the mid-event of Power Matrix HL-17-36.

  • Moved player respawn position in Power Matrix HL-17-36 to prevent players respawning further away than intended

  • Fixed a spot at the end of Chasm Logistratum where players could get stuck in a cogitator.

  • Fixed pickup locations in Vigil Station Oblivium

  • Fixed world rendering issues in Vigil Station Oblivium

  • Fixed a misbehaving Daemonhost spawn location in Hab Dreyko

  • Fixed several navigation issues in missions set in the Chasm Terminus and The Torrent areas

  • Fixed issue that caused parts of the level not the render while on elevators

  • Several sound & optimization fixes across all missions

  • Fixed issues where some Respawn Beacons connected to wrong parts of the mission, causing long respawns.

  • Fixed issue with Hab Dreyko which caused Specialist enemies to stop spawning towards the end of the mission.

Hub

  • Hub Location Introductions: Six new cinematic sequences that unlock as part of the Path of Trust. These provide information about Inquisitor Grendyl’s Warband and the locations you will encounter within the Mourningstar hub.
    Hub Location Intros included in this patch:

    • Psykhanium

    • Mission Terminal

    • Armoury

    • Barber Chirurgeon

    • Sire Melk’s Requisitorium

    • Shrine of the Omnissiah

  • Bonding Conversations: 450+ new player conversations added to provide depth and character while you fight your way through the streets of Tertium.

  • Commissary Vendor Update: Meet Mara Vinci. This reject has managed to get herself a cushy job running the Commissary. A trusted position.

  • Hub Announcements: 40+ new Hub Announcements for Mission Board changes and NPC Character development.

  • Various text updates for clarity and localisation issues.

  • A new elevator has been built in the Mourningstar, allowing players to spawn closer to the mission board when returning from a mission.

  • Fixed an occurrence that would cause “jerky movement” of your player character in the hub.

Misc

  • Interaction UI (other than players) now tell you when you can’t interact with them while they are already being interacted by somebody else

  • Fixed issue where certain walls using parallax shader would flicker

*: Added missing Penance line on October 4

2 Questions:

  • Is there still a Shield rework planned ? Can’t see the slab shield in this list ?
  • Apparently new Penances but not cosmetics assigned to them ? (Game still loading, can’t check yet) Are they going to be linked to each other in the future or something ?

Have you not seen how the heads just vanish, with no actual parts of it falling off? Or how guys split in half seemingly always have to keep their arms and head on the torso and can’t be cut apart? Or hwo unloading an entire magazine from a brace autogun into a dreg only shows one single bullet hole out of 30 rounds Oh also huge lack of blood staining on enemies hell even vermintide was able to have that, Look at dead island 2 or doom eternal, hitting enemies actually had parts fly off and it looked good idk what more I can say, I’ve done a huge thread about it that fatshark ignored so xd

No new penance sets? Come on I prepped for this ever since I saw the ogryn gunlugger armor and it’s not even obtainable?

Finally ! No more instant-turn-around-sprint-away-from-you-at-the-speed-of-sound gunners !

Blessed patch notes :bowing_man:

Has headshot hit registration on the Voidstrike been altered in any way? I’m not sure if it was previously reported as a bug, but it struggles to reliably headshot unless aiming at the top of/over an enemy’s head

Does this apply to melee kill from the weapon bash, or any melee kill? I would assume the latter (since the weapon bashes don’t deal much damage), but just want to confirm.

Can we get some clarification around how Finesse bonuses translate to damage ingame?

Overall a lot of nice changes…but cavalcade on ogryn ripper is still useless, because crits do bugger all damage still (unless i overlooked it, formatting on two seperate Threads to read is a wee bit shite ngl). And since i borked my ripper on accident, it is doomed to have cavalcade on there all eternity. When, you know, i could have can Opener instead. I can appreciate the Work that went into this Update and clearly FS listened to Feedback, in Terms of weapons and Blessings for the most part.Combat and everything already was fun, i can only Imagine it getting better with this Patch.

BUT the core issue, that is the abysmal gacha crafting system (curios was a start, but too little too late) and the grutting locks, which drove me from the Game in the first place still exist. Which is a damn shame, because i refuse to play a Game that so blatantly disrespects my time and me as a Player in that regard. If FS can ever be bothered changing this, i will be back, gladly. But not before.

EDIT: Turns out i did indeed overlook some ripper changes :

Finesse Modifier (0%, 80% Damage Stat):

From 10% to 50%.

So that means, they improved crits. Just did my second read on the whole thing, but 40% increase of bugger all damage is still bugger all. And my main critique points still stand.

With all these changes, not even a little love for revolvers and shotguns? Why don’t you want to increase the ammos reserve of these weapons? :cold_sweat:

Rippers get a massive finesse curve buff from 10% to 50% on primary action. I really wanna try it out now.

Marxist already beat me to it on the crit/finesse change, but the formatting across 2 threads may be down to post length limits imposed by the forum software :joy:
