Patch #14 Notes Part 1

Devoted Rejects,

Today we are sharing with you the provisional notes for our next patch - Patch #14. This update will mainly be comprised of needed balance changes and bug fixes from the Class Rework in Patch #13.

Just to make you aware these notes and changes are not final, and may still be changed before the release.

### We will release the final patch notes when we deploy Patch #14 which may come at a later date

The patch is live and the patchnotes are now FINAL! Luckily there were only a few changes, marked with an asterisk (*). Thank you all for your thoughts and feedback for the provisional notes, enjoy the patch!

Patch #14

These notes contain the second part of changes based on community testing that we’ve had
with select members of the community the past 2 months, and adjustments to live issues
that have appeared.
We once again want to thank the community members for their continued help with
improving areas of the game that need extra attention.

All

● Operative Modifier “Suppression Boost” - Increased Suppression from 5% to 25%

Psyker

Biltz - All
● Set wield Quell chain time to 0 on all Psyker Blitzes, meaning it will be more fluid to
start Quelling after switching to your Blitz

Blitz - Brain Rupture
● Reduced Peril cost of charging right click from 30% to 20%
● Reduced movement penalties from charging
● Increased power from 850 to 900
● Increased Unyielding armour damage modifier from 1.0 to 1.25
● Increased Maniac armour damage modifier from 1.0 to 1.5
● Increased Carapace armour damage modifier from 0.75 to 1.0
● Fixed an issue where “Brain Burst”/”Brain Rupture” would cause an explosion even
with the talent “Empowered Psionics” active

Blitz - Assail
● Shifting power, to reduce spammyness of primary attack but increase the usability of
the secondary aimed attack:
○ Reduced power of primary action from 250 to 200
○ Increased power of secondary action(aimed) throw from 250 to 340 or 400 if
talent “Empowered Psionics” is active
● Fixed an issue where “Assail” projectiles would lose targeting when Force Swords
are wielded
● Fixed an issue that could cause the animation and action for “Assail” to be stuck if
you were attacked while aiming a shard
● Fixed an issue where “Assail” would play critical strike sounds globally and in 3D

Blitz - Smite
● Fixed an issue where the ability didn’t show hit indicators when damaging enemies
● Fixed an issue where Incorrect VFX cloud keeps triggering during the secondary
attack

Dev Note: Smite being able to channel without cost when Empowered Psionics was active
was a bug. We do however feel that without it Smite can feel a bit lacklustre in combination
with Empowered Psionics, so we’re further increasing the power of it. We’ll be keeping an
eye on it, and are up for doing something related to cost in the future as long as it’s more
balanced this time around!

○ Increased bonuses from Talent “Empowered Psionics” - +125% Damage,
50% faster spread between enemies
○ Fixed an issue where the Talent “Empowered Psionics” incorrectly made
Smite not cost any Peril

Combat ability - Psykinetic’s Wrath
● Added a 10% Quell to base “Psykinetic’s Wrath” ability. Meaning that Psykers who
don’t have the upgraded “Psykinetic’s Wrath” still can use the ability to avoid
downing themselves.

Combat ability - Scrier’s Gaze
● Fixed an issue where sound effects were not turned on and off properly when
activating “Scrier’s Gaze”

Combat ability - Telekine Shield/Telekine Dome
● Increased speed of the “Telekine Shield” and “Telekine Dome” placement action

● Increased the max duration of “Telekine Dome” from 15s to 22.5s
● Increased the health of “Telekine Shield” and “Telekine Dome” from 15 to 20
● Increased the minimum duration “Telekine Shield” and “Telekine Dome” from 4s to
6.5s.
● Fixed an issue with not being able to place the “Telekine Shield” on certain flat areas
● Fixed an issue where the “Warp Siphon” Talent granted an instant cooldown of the
“Telekine Shield” and “Telekine Dome” Abilities
● Fixed an issue where enemy hits on the “Telekine Shield” and “Telekine Dome”
Abilities could be seen through enemies
● Fixed an issue where impacts on the “Telekine Field” and “Telekine Dome” Abilities
were not vanishing
● Fixed an issue causing sound effects to not trigger correctly when entering/exiting a
“Telekine Dome”

Talent “Soulstealer”
● Reduced Toughness replenished from 15% Toughness to 7.5%

Talent “Perilous Combustion”
● Reduced the numbers of Soulblaze stacks applied to nearby enemies on Elite or
Specialist kills from 4 to 3

Talent “Prescience” - Increased Critical Hit chance bonus to 5% from 4%
● Aura Talent “Kinetic Presence” - Reduced the Damage bonus from 10% to 5%

Zealot

Blitz - Blades of Faith
● Tweaked knife throw to make it more consistent and easier to hit priority targets:
○ Added small cleave to be able to cleave through one small enemy
○ Reduced projectile radius from 0.37 to 0.2, to make it easier to hit priority
targets in hordes and avoid accidentally hitting the smaller targets.
○ Fixed so Blades of Faith don’t inherit spread modifiers from wielded Ranged
weapons, they should go straight now.
● Increased power from 500 to 585 to help reaching some weak spot breakpoints
● Increased Flak armour damage modifier from 0.75 to 0.8
● Fixed minor animation issues

Combat ability - Shroudfield
● Talent “Perfectionist” - Reduced the Backstab damage bonus from 100% to 50%, but
changed the Cooldown increase from 100% to 50% so the cooldown punishment is
lower. This was made to avoid single hits doing too much damage.
● Changed the Finesse Damage bonus from being multiplicative to additive.
● Daemonhosts will now be able to see Zealots using Shroudfield, to avoid cases
where players can aggro a Daemonhost and make it attack other players.

Combat ability - Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude
● Added functionality to cancel the ability with the secondary action input
● Changed action chaining so that you are not allowed to cancel out of the ability
during wielding animation. This to avoid accidental cancelling of the ability before it is
started
● Changed so that Monstrosities are only staggered by the first and last pulse of the
ability

Talent “Inexorable Judgement”
● now only activates on melee and ranged hits

Talent “Second Wind”
● Added 0.5s internal cooldown
● Increased Toughness replenish from 10% to 15%

Talent “Shield of Contempt”
● Reduced damage reduction from 75% to 60%

Talent “Bleed for the Emperor”
● Reduced damage reduction from 50% to 40%

Dev note: These slight changes to damage reduction talents are to avoid high stacking
damage reduction

corruption damage
● Fixed issues where the Talent “Sainted Gunslinger” didn’t activate when reloading
Combat Shotguns or Stub Revolvers

Veteran

We are currently working on an update to the Veteran’s Talent Tree, including Keystones,
which will be coming in a future patch. We hope that these changes to your Abilities will still
be interesting enough and open up for a few more build paths, while we finalise the larger
update.

● Reduced Veteran Stamina regeneration delay from 1.25 to 1.0, meaning Veterans
will start Stamina regeneration quicker than before.

Blitz - Smoke grenade
● Added a small stagger to Smoke Grenade explosion
● Duration increased from 10s base, 15s with “Grenade Tinkerer” talent to 15s base,
30s with “Grenade Tinkerer” talent.

Blitz - Krak grenade
● Changed behaviour of the Talent “Twinned Blast”. One grenade will now land where
aimed, and the duplicated grenade will land in a random position nearby, left or right
of the aimed position.

Combat ability - Volley Fire / Executioner’s stance
● Allow cooldown to tick during “Volley Fire”/”Executioner’s stance”, but increase
cooldown from 25s to 35s, meaning achieving a higher uptime on “Volley Fire” will
reward you more.
● Talent “Counter-Fire” - Added Scab Stalkers as Volley Fire Targets
● Fixed issues where the “Volley Adept”/”Executioner’s stance” didn’t activate when
reloading Combat Shotguns or Stub Revolvers

Combat Ability - Infiltrate
● Daemonhosts will now be able to see Veterans using Infiltrate, to avoid cases where
players can aggro a Daemonhost and make it attack other players.
● Reduced Infiltrate cooldown from 60s to 45s
● Increased Infiltrate duration from 6s to 8s

Combat Ability - Voice of Command
● Reduced cooldown from 45s to 30s
● Added stronger stagger to “Voice of Command”, will now be able to stagger
Monstrosities and Mutants.

Talent “Only in Death Does Duty End”
● Increased cooldown increase from 33% to 50% - With the reduced cooldown of
“Voice of Command”, this adds up the same 15 s extra cooldown. (33% of 45 is 15,
50% of 30 is 15)

Talent “Duty and Honor”
● Increased toughness gained from from 50 to 100 and duration from 10 to 15
● Fixed an issue where the ability didn’t play sound effects.

Talent “Deadshot”
● Moved from percentage of max Stamina to flat Stamina, 0.75 stamina per second,
0.25 per shot.

Talent “Exploit Weakness”
● Increased from 2.5% Brittleness to 10% and set max stacks to 2
The Description currently reads Rending, but should say Brittleness

Talent “Rending Strikes”
● Reduced from 15% to 10% Rending to all weapons.
With the Class Overhaul we also changed how Rending was calculated, resulting in it
being more effective than before. This resulted in ‘Rending Strikes’ being stronger
than we anticipated.

Talent “Keep Their Heads Down!”
● Increased Ranged Attack suppression from 25% to 50%

Talent “Demolition Team”
● Corrected the description to state that only the Veteran receives a grenade.
The gameplay change was already in, but the description didn’t get updated properly.

Ogryn

Blitz - Big Friendly Rock
● Reduced replenish cooldown from 60s to 45s
● Increased Maniac damage
● Increased impact VS Monstrosities. Stones thrown to the head of Monstrosities will
now stagger them.
● Lowered chaining time from wield to the aim throw - This will reduce the time until the
player can throw the stone, allowing for more reactive gameplay.

Blitz - Ogryn Frag Bomb
● Armour Modifiers Close Damage (near, far):
Unyielding : 200%, 200% to 325%, 200%
● Armour Modifiers Far Damage (near, far):
Carapace: 75%, 37.5% to 100%, 37.5%
Unyielding : 187.5%, 100% to 262.5%, 112.5%

Combat ability - Loyal Protector
● Fixed an issue where Daemonhost was behaving weirdly after Ogryn Loyal Protector
activation
● Fixed an issue where the ability didn’t play sounds effects for other players

Combat ability - Point blank Barrage

● Talent “Light ‘em Up“ - Reduced Stacks of Burn from 3 to 2

Talent “Batter”
● Reduced number of bleed stacks applied from heavy attacks from 6 to 4.

Talent “Pained Outburst”
● Fixed an issue where the talent would return 100% Toughness instead of 25% and
would replenish Toughness if knocked down.

Talent “Dominate” *
● Reduced from 30% to 15% Rending on Elite kills.

Enemies

● Tweaked Enemy base health on all difficulties, with focus on bigger Elites to make
them stay alive a bit longer, and for the Conflict Director to not spawn as many:
○ Mutant base health from 1900 to 2000, is now the same base health as
before the Class Overhaul patch.
○ Bulwark base health from 1500 to 1800

melee to ranged attacks
● Scab Shooter can now trigger “On successful dodge” procs.
● Fixed so Scab Bomber will only drop his grenade once pin-pull sound is played

intended

state

collision raycast

Beast of Nurgle
● Tweaked Beast of Nurgle slime slow from 50% to 20%
● Fixed a crash that could occur if two Beasts of Nurgle tried to consume the same
enemy

Autoguns, Recon Lasguns, etc.)

Duelling Swords:
● Changed chain windows on all swords to have faster access to weapon special
attack

prioritised.

finesse.
● Changed Force Swords dodge limit from Infinite to 5 (same as Combat Knife)

Dev Note: We believe infinite dodges aren’t healthy for the balance of the game and
decided instead to give Force Swords the same dodge count as the Combat
Knife(one of the best dodging weapons). This change was made together with an
overall bump in Force Sword damage and cleave output to compensate for the
dodge loss and other weapons power increase.

● Added chain to heavy attack 1 from push follow up and slightly increased the chain
time.
● Devil’s Claw Mk VII push followup switched to single target damage profile, following
attack changed to a sweeping profile, meaning the first attack will be more useful

time

Headhunter Autoguns

○ Tweaked hitboxes to be a bit easier to hit
○ Increased speed of normal/heavy bash
● Power increased

Infantry Autoguns
● All infantry Autoguns: changed crit effect to be a less flash-bangy one. Should be
less blinding to get a lot of crits.
● All infantry Autoguns: increase ammo clip and reserve.
● Agripinaa Mk I Infantry Autogun
○ Tweaked recoil, fixed faulty crouch settings that caused recoil to go up when
crouching.

Power Swords
● Munitorum Mk VI Power Sword block cost reduction by 25%
● Activation can be cancelled to block 0.3s in, keeping the activation

Dev Note: This change was made to make Munitorum Mk VI Power Sword more focused on
defensive chaining, by allowing the block chain to be activated. The activation animation also
matches the block animation so the transition from block → activate is smoother.

● Activated attack power buffed significantly; Heavies with a focus on horde clear,
lights for dps or smaller target counts, push attack weak spot hits for carapace and
unyielding damage.

Voidstrike

A lot of excellent changes. Keep them coming!

We are currently working on an update to the Veteran’s Talent Tree, including Keystones, which will be coming in a future patch. We hope that these changes to your Abilities will still be interesting enough and open up for a few more build paths, while we finalise the larger update.

Does it mean that the atrocious ammo sustain on Veteran is also going to be adressed one way or another? That’s quite a bummer on long, difficult Auric games, unless you just go for melee-centered or lasgun build.

Oh, and obligatory: get rid of the locks so we can finally tinker with builds without chaining ourselves to the Hadron Slot Machine.

We all knew this was basically a bug waiting to be fixed, right? This and Rippergun ammo taking a hit makes me think MAYBE there’s someone concerned about the gameplay working there still.

Also thanks for not forgetting the glorious blunt weapons. Thunderhammers should definitely keep 2 dodges in my opinion, they work well in the current game (except the various bugs on Ironhelm I hope you’re aware of). 3 dodges would be a nice supplement to the Crusher’s anemic damage, though.

Also sad that I won’t be able to make enemies fly back and forth with slaps anymore, that was my favorite part of its chain rate buff.

Great, but was hoping that the Revolver would get the same treatment, I did see that it’s getting some buff on the 3rd part but not on the ammo

Was wondering when that would be changed

No space

While using certain staff casts as well as casting BB, dodging always was my preferred way of movement.
It was always nice to have the option to quickly swap to a force sword and get a proper dodge range, in order to evade a dangerous incoming attack.

I hope it won’t be too bad to adjust to.

@FatsharkCatfish
Would you consider adding infinite dodges (or more dodges/a faster dodge count reset) to the psyker blitz abilities?
All other blitz abilities are “hit and forget”.
Psyker blitzes are basically like weapons, are wielded for a longer time and basically require channeling, while the player is slowed down.
Having slightly better dodges while wielding no weapon and being in “caster mode” would be pretty neat.

Well, that’s a lot of changes and, from start I can tell, it looks like it’s all going in a good direction and nothing too painful as far as the nerfs go.

I’ll miss being able to zoom around with Stripped Down.

Someone else will have to chime in, but thoughts on the Vraks Mk VII ammo nerf? I don’t use it much, but this change just caught my eye when I saw it

Also… CRUSHER BUFF, LET’S GOOOOOOO

I’m sure this will not be bugged at all.

Speaking of bugs, nothing about random elite pack spawns right in front of you or even ontop of you?

from an ogryn POV I like a lot of these changes.

Bleed/fire tuning was needed.

I’m disappointed that Bombs Away/box didn’t get some kind of buff and the other 2 did. I feel box was already lagging behind the other 2 in the first place, now buffing them while box remains unchanged makes it an even less desirable pick.

Edit:

I pretty much only played Ogryn, but I did play around with Smite Psyker as well. I know that the infinite lightning was a bug but I really do feel like it needs some kind of buff when it’s working as intended. I feel I would prefer lower peril generation than increased damage.

Amazing patch. Thank you Fetthaj!

The new bugs that bothered me the most are getting fixed, the nerfs were all justified and the buffs are all welcome.

Especially the Veteran. I love all classes, but veteran really felt like it needed help to keep up.

EDIT: Oh, but I will never forgive you for removing the psyker crabwalk (joking)

I thought this was intended. Made trappers a massive skill check since on getting caught you are always guaranteed to get hot by three sources of fire damage.

Edit: That typo is staying in

You might as well unfix that right now, lmao.

Much needed, can’t wait

Of all the things to be happy about, this is the highlight here.

And again no mention of the stucked penances since preorder beta.

Just make a script that runs on maintance and checks the complete conditions of penances again, might run a bit but should resolve the issue.

Will you fix broken penaces? Like the hit enemies with Box of Hurt one for Ogryn?
Will you add new penaces for compensate for the new abilities and such? Maybe even more free cosmetics too?

Some nice changes overall, and I’m sure we can judge them better with actual data, but this one seems like a mistake:

So one useful, and fairly situational utility of this unpopular ability is being removed? This ability is a meme in the community as it is, mainly because you cannot do any damage whilst channeling. Back to the drawing board with this one. You should be able to use 1 handed weapons whilst wielding the relic or do decent damage with every pulse.

I do disagree with this, I would much rather have more enemies than health sponge enemies. I really enjoyed how frequently stuff would spawn, that felt like the right kind of difficulty for me.

Welcome to console gaming. Instead of addressing our year old complaints about the game performance, spawn rates will be reduced to accomodate consoles.

What was the point of the “Kinetic Presence” change?
