New & Updated Features

We added a small notification for when Strike Team members pick up Plasteel or Diamantine during gameplay. A chime will play, and an onscreen message will show who picked up the resource and what it was.

The total collected resources during the mission will be visible in the Tactical Overlay (Default keymap: Tab).

While the tab screen change is ok it’s also already way more annoying than the current mod ui. If it does that evey time for every resource picked up judging off how much they get picked up that will get grating.

Edit: Guess what, it’s annoying! So, how do i turn this off?

Look we don’t need every little notification to pop up in big bold letters on the left or right of the screen center, just add it to your normal notifications where the kill feed is at and have a little icon or make the text a different colour. I don’t understand why you chose to make it large and intrusive when you could have just put it on the part of the screen where nothing is going on.

Feat: Payback Time

• “When an enemy damages you, gain 20% damage against enemies of the same type for 5s.” has been changed to “When an enemy damages you with a melee attack, gain +20% damage for 5s”

Oof, still not great and tbh a straight nerf if it doesn’t apply to toughness damage

@FatsharkCatfish

Feat: Lead the Charge

• Now also grants Stun Immunity and Suppression Immunity to allies for the duration of the buff.

I mean, it’s better i guess. Suppression immunity and stun immunity is cool but it’s not exactly the feat that everyone was complaining about.

Psykinetic

• Feat: Warp Unleashed
  • Damage Bonus increased: from 5-15% to 10-25%.
• Feat: Wrack and Ruin
  • Increased stacks of Soulblaze applied as well as the radius: Stacks: 2 → 3 Radius: 3 meters → 4 meters.

I mean that’s good but still doesn’t really address the passive quell speed change or the lack of build variety if you don’t choose a staff weapon.

Preacher

• Fixed issue where Preacher’s “Until Death” Passive could activate when at 1 health even when the Preacher didn’t take damage.

Finally!

@FatsharkCatfish

• Lorenz Mk V Kickback - Expandable
  • Melee Power Bonus now also affects your regular melee weapon, not just the Special Action melee attack. The bonus values have been tuned down to account for this, and the duration has been lowered slightly (4s → 3.5s).

Dev note - ’This should make the blessing much more useful and fill a similar role as the human Stub Revolver Point Blank Blessing.’

That’s a good change. Not crazy about the lowered duration considering needing to switch but not a bad change.

@FatsharkCatfish

• Flamer - Quickflame
  Increased reload speed bonus gained from the Blessing “Quickflame” on all tiers:
  • Tier 1: 5% → 18%
  • Tier 2: 7.5% → 20%
  • Tier 3: 10% → 22%
  • Tier 4: 12.5% → 24%

Dev note - ‘This change was to bring “Quickflame” in line with the other blessings. We have our eyes on the Flamer, as it might be a little strong, and we are considering some changes in an upcoming patch’.

Flamer nerf thread isn’t going to be happy about this one.

Overall i was expecting a lot more as far as the ogryn and Psyker went? It seemed like from the previous post there was going to be a lot more fixes / changes but this just seems like some really basic qol additions.

Mostly skipping weapon fixes since those are good and nothing really to comment on. Sill a little curious that there is no mention of the preacher F interaction with melee weapons.

Item Acquisition

• Emperor’s Gift for Heresy and Damnation missions will now see an increase in the Sanctity (rarity) of the item gifted. At Level 30, players who play at Heresy will no longer see a Redeemed (green) item. This applies to Weapons and Curios.
• For characters at level 30, you will no longer see a weapon with a base rating of under 300 from the Armoury Exchange, Sire Melk’s Requisitorium, or through the Emperor’s Gift.

This is a step in the right direction but would need to play for a bit to see if it has any real impact. I still think 320 is the right number as you can still get some real trash below that and it would give a +/- 30 range instead of +/- 40 but ehh. Not getting bad greens in Heresy or Damnation is nice.

Shrine of the Omnissiah

• Lowered the amount of Plasteel required to consecrate to Transcendent Sanctity in the Shrine. At the maximum item rating of 380, 700 Plasteel is now required (previously 800). Note that the item rating cost scaling will still apply for lower ratings.
• The cost of shrine actions (Consecrate, Re-Bless) now have the order of ‘Plasteel, Diamantine’ to follow the consistency of the ordering in your acquired total currencies.
• When you do not have enough Diamantine or Plasteel to perform the selected action in the shrine, the cost will now be shaded red.
• After proceeding with an action in the shrine, the item list will scroll back to the last selected item that was acted upon.

This is a good step i guess. Even then there really needs a salvage key for a lot of this.

Hoping that the patch at the end of the month is far more substantial as this is mostly just stuff that was needed more than anything else.

Edit 2: as another note wasn’t there a mention of sticking an icon next to a blessing you haven’t gotten yet? Am i taking crazy pills or is that going to be a next update thing?
