Just curious, is the Update #2 in the works? I’m sure the last few days were about ensuring 1.2.2 landed safe ‘n’ sound, but now it’s time to focus full time on the balance beta again. :slight_smile:

Can we see a 2h axe or 1h axe balance in the next update?

2H Axe definitely needs a buff, I just don’t really know what its point is. It does do good boss damage, but when you have classes built around that concept it’s not so important. It can’t one-shot any enemies besides Clan and Slave rats, it doesn’t have great cleave, it’s pretty slow . . . I guess it does have a bit more mobility, but still. It’s quite underwhelming.

1H Axe does still need a buff. Its basic moveset is fine at this point, but it needs more power on its charged attack. Still can’t one-shot Chaos marauders, even with a headshot. Maybe you could build for that, but I know I have 10% +Infantry on . . . Just to give the weapon SOME pace it should have that ability, IMO. It’s poor against hordes, so why also make it unable to one-shot those it does hit?

Actually moveset is not fine, heavy attacks are just slower version of 1h Hammer’s heavy but does the same damage, also push-stab makes no sense, it’s single-target armour piercing overhed, just like heavy attack. In fact we have heavy and push stab doing the same thing that makes little to no sense IMO.

By basic moveset I meant its light attacks, I wasn’t clear enough. It is the heavies and maybe the push-stab that need work still.

pickaxe just does everything better than the greataxe. literally no reason to use the greataxe over the pickaxe. cleaving light attacks that can stagger SV. A powerful and fast push attack and l1 combo. Ungoldy single target damage. And its heavy melee charge is pretty formidable at covering ground

I installed the beta but It’s not loading. How do I activate the beta ?

After you follow these instructions:

You should see the game looking like this in steam:
beta%20desktop

You just load the game as you normally would at that point(still needs to download all the updates).

There is never enough nerfs so overall this is a very good patch. Keep up the great work Fatshark.
