[2020] 3.12.2 Patch Notes Preview

The team is currently finishing testing the 3.12.2 update with a fair amount of improvements to the Heist league. We're planning to deploy this patch by the end of this working week (or early next week). The console realms will be updated with 3.12.2 as soon as possible after its deployment on PC.

Please note that the patch notes listed below may be changed prior to the release of the 3.12.2 update.

Heist Improvements

• Rebalanced the amount of Alert Level that Reward Room and Main Path Chests generate when opened.


• Added Alert Level Reduction, Time Before Lockdown and Maximum Alive Reinforcements bonuses to many existing Contract and Blueprint modifiers which didn't already have those bonuses.


• Added additional Reward Types to various Heist Jobs.


• Breach, Harbinger, Delirium and Legion rewards now require level 68 or higher before they can be found as Chest Rewards.


• After completing The Rogue Harbour quest, you will be placed at the top of the stairs when arriving in The Rogue Harbour.


• Many Heist monsters can now be Spectred!


• Alert Level reduction modifiers from different sources are now multiplicative with one another.


• You will now be placed slightly further away from the portal when entering a Heist.


• Attempting to leave a Heist area before entering a Heist Wing will now request confirmation.


• Grand Heist rewards which contain Enchanted Body Armours or Weapons are now more likely to contain higher-tier Base Types.


• Monsters in formations during Heists now stagger the timing of their attacks, such that they're not all using their attacks at the same time.


• Reduced the damage that Thaumaturgy Officers and Security Conjurors deal.


• Reduced the damage that Labra-tomaton, Labora-dor and Clockwork Sentries deal with their on-death explosions.


• Clockwork Sentries now have a 20% chance to explode on death (down from 100%).


• Improved the telegraphing effects and audio of Clockwork Sentries.


• It is now more clear when a Rogue has reached the maximum level for a given Heist Job.


• Improved various Heist quest text notifications.


• Heist Quest Items will now be removed from your inventory if you fail the Quest Contract. You will be able to get a new item when you re-obtain the appropriate Quest Contract.

• Marked for Death, Mark the Prey and Malicious Intent can now be anointed.


• Updated the description of the "Inflicts a random Hex on you when your Totems die, with 80% increased Effect" modifier on the Soul Mantle unique body armour to be 80% more Effect. This does not impact the already-hotfixed functionality of Soul Mantle.

• Fixed a bug where modifiers that you could not apply to a given item were not visibly disabled in the Crafting Bench UI.
