(Steam version only)

Read up!



• General

• Void Fields
  
• 🌧 Interactables now spawn in the stage
  
• Developer Notes: With SotV, we wanted to make the Void Fields a more compelling choice by increasing the value of the reward and introducing a cost (time). However, we felt that the risk outweighed the reward, so we’ve added interactables to the stage, much like the interactables in Simulacrum stages.

Artificer

🌧 Flame Bolt damage: 220% ⇒ 280%

Plasma Bolt damage: 220% ⇒ 280%

Developer Notes: As we iterated on the way that burns work during development of SotV, we unintentionally reduced the damage of Artificer’s Flame Bolt indirectly by reducing the burn damage. To compensate, we’re buffing the initial damage of Flame Bolt so that the overall damage returns to pre-SotV levels. Plasma Bolt is receiving the same buff to ensure it doesn’t fall behind.

[/i]

Captain

🌧 Lysate Cell now increases the stocks of Captain’s first beacon

Captain is now limited to 2 deployed beacons at a time

Developer Notes: It was kind of lame that Lysate Cell did absolutely nothing for Captain, but it was hard to find a solution that wasn’t completely game-breaking. Limiting the beacons to 2 at a time keeps the power of the item under control (as well as fixes some exploits in Simulacrum multiplayer).

[/i]

Newly Hatched Zoea

🌧 Fresh new skins to help differentiate allies from enemies

Defense Nucleus

Alpha Construct Ally Damage Bonus: +0% ⇒+300%

Alpha Construct Ally Health Bonus: +0% ⇒ +300%

Developer Notes: During development, we experimented with what conditions would trigger this item. Initially, this item was exceptionally strong due to how frequently it triggered. It proved to be too strong, so we changed the trigger, but we forgot to compensate by buffing the spawned Alpha Construct as we had intended.

[/i]

Squid Polyp

Squid Turret Ally Base Damage: 20 ⇒ 4

Squid Turret Ally Primary Skill Damage Coefficient: 1 ⇒ 5

Squid Turret Allies Primary Skill Proc Coefficient: 1 ⇒ 0.1

Squid Turret Allies Primary Skill Knockback Force: 0 ⇒ 2000

Squid Turret Allies can now be stunned by “stunning” skills

Squid Turret Allies can now be frozen

Developer Notes: An important part of the balance of the Void Cradles is the risk from the Void Infestors it spawns, so we wanted to lower the risk with Squid Polyp without completely removing it. These changes to Squid Polyp are overall a slight buff in the hands of the player (the knockback especially defends the turrets against infestation), but they mainly reduce the damage from Collapse when Voidtouched. And believe it or not, they’re actually pretty good at killing the Void Infestors.

[/i]

Blind Vermin

🌧 Director Credits for default variant: 20 ⇒ 14

🌧 Director Credits for snowy variant: 8 ⇒ 14

Developer Notes: The difference in Director Credits between the variants of Blind Vermin was unintentional, so we just split the difference.

[/i]

• 🌧 Fixed Captain sometimes not having stocks of his beacons on the first stage

This patch introduces a bug whereby playing a singleplayer game after a multiplayer game will cause the difficulty and prices to remain at multiplayer levels. As a temporary fix simply restart the game - we will have a permanent solution in place for the next patch!

Enjoy the increased difficulty while you can, challenge hunters!
