Patch Notes

Patch 1.4.25, deployed Thursday, July 20th, addresses matchmaking, performance, optimizations, bugfixes, balancing changes to loyalty point costs and melee, cosmetics, map changes.

General

• Reduced maximum range for weapons to match character relevancy distance.
• Apothecaries now have access to MKIII and MKIV backpack appearance items.
• Fortress Agnathio has a new side entrance on defender's right/attacker's left of the fortress.
• The end of the "secret" pipe on Agnathio is no longer out of bounds, so it is possible to shoot into the new side entrance.
• Maggon Station has had many of the "far" spawn points moved closer to the B and C capture points. Defenders should find themselves spawning 150 meters away instead of 200+ meters now.
• Settings screen overhaul to allow for further advanced options and settings to be added.

Balancing Updates

• Loadout point costs for many weapons have been reduced. Every "Mastercrafted" weapon was reduced at least by a little.
• Defensive Bash of the combat knife, ceremonial knife, spiked knuckle, 'urty syringe, and Narthecium now result in short stagger instead of long stagger.
• Many trinkets have been changed to be percentage-based modifications.
• Black Bolt Defense: Added an extra tank and two extra transports to the attackers. These are available on the right side spawner (when facing towards the fortress).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the announcer sometimes voiced messages from the wrong faction. He should no longer be affected by the warp.
• Olipsis Refinery: Increased height of vehicle blockers to prevent Eldar vehicles from entering capture point B.
• Fortress Ronan: Repositioned vehicle spawning icons on the 2D map to be closer to their respective vehicle spawner.
• Fortress Ronan: Fixed gap in ruin that characters can get stuck in.
• Medusa Relay: Added blocking volume adjacent to fuel tanks in capture point C to prevent characters from being trapped behind them.
• Fixed a bug where the Warlock plays the pistol grip animation when using Destructor, Embolden, Enhance, and Force psychic powers.
• Silva Shoota (available via Steam DLC) now uses the correct "Big Shoota" barrel mods.
