General

  • Item and Add-on descriptions have been rewritten
  • “Considerably” and other vague terms have been replaced with number values
  • Added in reminder text for Status Effects: Any Add-ons that trigger status effect also include a brief description on the status effect
  • The hatch will now only appear when one survivor is left alive
  • Survivors can open the hatch after it has been kicked shut by using a key
  • Key interaction takes 2.5 seconds, and does not lose progress when interrupted
  • The achievement “Where Did They Go!?” has been changed to “The Key to Escaping”

Developer notes: The hatch change is effectively the much asked for Key nerf in disguise, preventing survivors from escaping a trial prematurely. It is also intended to reduce situations where survivors would camp the hatch, waiting for their teammates to die so they could escape.

The Trapper

  • Base trap carrying capacity and starting traps increased to 2 (was 1)
  • Trap aura color changed from red to white to be consistent with other killer object auras
  • The number of traps spawned on a given map is now always 6 (was random 4-6)
  • Add-on – Trapper Gloves: Setting speed bonus increased to 30% (was 20%)
  • Add-on – Wax Brick: Trap escape modifier removed. Added effect: 33% increase to rescue and escape time. Rarity decreased to Uncommon (was Rare)
  • Add-on – Trapper Bag: Reduced number of additional traps to 1 (was 2). Rarity increased to Rare (was Uncommon)
  • Add-on – Secondary Coil: Increased trap disarm time to 50% (was 43%)
  • Add-on – Fastening Tools: Trap escape modifier removed. Added effect: 25% increase to rescue and escape time. Rarity decreased to Rare (was Very Rare)
  • Reworked Add-on – Oily Coil: When resetting a Bear Trap, reveal the aura of the most recent Survivor to disarm it for 5 seconds
  • Reworked Add-on – Trapper Sack: Bear Traps are carried at the beginning of the trial instead of spawning on the map. Bear Traps cannot be picked up
  • New Add-on – Bear Oil: Setting a Bear Trap is silent
  • New Add-on – Makeshift Wrap: The Trapper cannot be caught by his Bear Traps. The Bear Trap will be disarmed if The Trapper steps on it
  • New Add-on – Coffee Grinds: Gain a 5% Haste status effect for 5 seconds after setting a Bear Trap
  • New Add-on – Lengthened Jaws: Bear Traps inflict Deep Wound on Survivors
  • New Add-on – Tension Spring: The Bear Trap resets 2 seconds after a Survivor escapes from it
  • The following add-ons have been removed: Strong Coil Spring, Trap Setters, Logwood Dye, Setting Tools, Stitched Bag
  • New Bear Trap SFX when using Padded Jaws add-on

Developer notes: The Trapper is DbD’s oldest killer, and he needed some love to bring him up to our modern standard of play. Many of these changes are focused around bringing him into line with how the rest of our Killers behave. Traps have been balanced to provide more consistent game experiences, and his add-ons have been overhauled to give a greater variety of options.

The Wraith

  • Uncloaking speed boost duration reduced to 1 seconds (was 1.25 seconds)
  • Add-on – All Seeing: Blood: Aura reveal range decreased to 8 meters (was 12 meters)

Developer notes: Recent buffs to The Wraith have made him a wee bit over powered, so these changes are intended to adjust two of the most obviously overpowered elements. We’ll continue monitoring how he performs, and potentially have more changes for him in the future.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Hillbilly

  • Add-on – Death Engravings: Added effect: Decreases heat generated while charging by 14%
  • Add-on – Doom Engravings: Added effect: Decreases heat generated while charging by 14%
  • Add-on – Mother’s Helpers: Charge speed bonus after being stunned increased to 18% (was 12%)
  • Add-on – Tuned Carburetor: Charge speed bonus increased to 25% (was 20%)
  • Reworked Add-on – Black Grease: Increases Chainsaw charge speed by 18% for 30 seconds after being blinded
  • Reworked Add-on – Pighouse Gloves: While overheated, increases action speed by 20% when breaking pallets or walls, or damaging generators. While overheated, decreases duration of pallet stuns by 50%

Developer notes: The engraving add-ons are very popular with players, but the increased charge time means he generates significantly more heat for a full charge with these add-ons than without. A heat reduction modifier has been added to keep the amount of heat produced for one full charge constant, and we’ve also improved some underperforming add-ons to make them more enticing.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Nurse

  • Add-on – Torn Bookmark: Removed line of sight restriction. Added effect: Increases Blink recharge time by 50%

Developer notes: The line of sight restriction on Torn Book wasn’t terribly fun to play with, so we’ve replaced that a new downside which we feel is more in line with what players would expect.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Shape

  • Add-on – Memorial Flower: Rarity decreased to Common (was Uncommon)
  • Add-on – Vanity Mirror: Removed speed penalty
  • Add-on – Judith’s Tombstone: Speed penalty now only applies to Evil Within III

Developer notes: The rarity change to Memorial Flower brings The Shape in line with all our other killers in terms of add-on rarity distribution. Additionally, we have removed the movement speed penalties that prevented two add-ons from realistically enabling their intended play styles. Our condolences to players who used these add-ons for comedic purposes.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Hag

  • Add-on – Waterlogged Shoe: Increased speed bonus to 4.5% (was 2%)

Developer notes: Waterlogged Show was The Hag’s worst performing add-on, so we’ve given it a buff to help make it more viable. It will now make The Hag move at regular killer speed, 4.6m/s.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Pig

  • Add-on – Bag of Gears: Increased Reverse Bear Trap setting speed bonus to 50% (was 20%)
  • Add-on – Crate of Gears: Decreased Jigsaw Box search penalty to 33% (was 43%)
  • Add-on – Tampered Timer: Decreased Reverse Bear Trap death timer modification to 20 seconds (was 30 seconds)
  • Add-on – Rule Set N.2: Decreased rarity to Rare (was Ultra Rare)
  • Add-on – Amanda’s Letter: Jigsaw Box reduction removed. Aura reveal range increased to 16 meters (was 12 meters)
  • Reworked Add-on – John’s Medical File: Increases crouched move speed by 6%
  • Reworked Add-on – Razor Wires: Failing a Jigsaw Box skill check while uninjured will injure the survivor
  • Reworked Add-on – Workshop Grease: Increases Ambush attack charge speed by 50%. Decreases Ambush attack miss cooldown by 25%. Increased rarity to Uncommon (was Common)
  • Reworked Add-on – Last Will: Increases Ambush attack movement speed by 6%. Increases time to charge Ambush attack by 66%
  • Reworked Add-on – Interlocking Razor: Failing a Jigsaw Box skill check while injured will inflict Deep Wound on the Survivor
  • Reworked Add-on – Jigsaw’s Annotated Plan: Increases available Reverse Bear Traps by 1. Increases Reverse Bear Trap death timer by 10 seconds. Whenever a generator is completed, 10 seconds is removed from the death timer of all active Reverse Bear Traps
  • Reworked Add-on – Jigsaw’s Sketch: Increases available Reverse Bear Traps by 1. When a Survivor with a Reverse Bear Trap is working on a generator, that generator’s aura is revealed to you
  • Reworked Add-on – Video Tape: Survivors begin the trial with Reverse Bear Traps installed. Rarity increased to Ultra Rare (was Uncommon)

Developer notes: We are happy to announce The Pig is getting an add-on balance pass! We have replaced a number of underperforming or unpopular add-ons with new effects and increased the values on others to make them more effective. On the other end, Tampered Timer and Crate of Gears could sometimes be too strong (especially when combined) so their values have been reduced. The end result should be an add-on set that is overall stronger, more diverse, and more fun to play.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Spirit

  • While phase walking Survivors within 24 meters of The Spirit (not the husk) hear a directional audio cue that gains volume with proximity
  • Add-on – Juniper Bonsai: Added effect: Increases Passive Phasing duration by 50%
  • Reworked Add-on – Dried Cherry Blossom: Survivors trigger Killer Instinct when they come within 4 meters of The Spirit while she is phasing. Scratch marks are no longer visible while using Yamaoka’s Haunting
  • Reworked Add-on – Wakizashi Saya: During Yamaoka’s Haunting, use the Active Ability button to return to the husk and end the haunting
  • New Add-on – Mother’s Glasses: Survivors trigger Killer Instinct when they come within 2 meters of the husk. Scratch marks are no longer visible while using Yamaoka’s Haunting
  • New Add-on – Uchiwa: Instantly recharges Yamoka’s Haunting when stunned by a pallet
  • New Add-on – Senko Hanabi: When Yamaoka’s Haunting ends, The Spirit’s husk explodes and any vaults within 4 meters are blocked for 5 seconds
  • New Add-on – Furin: The phasing sound is heard by all Survivors
  • New Add-on – Kintsugi Teacup: Instantly recharges Yamaoka’s Haunting after breaking a pallet or wall
  • The following add-ons have been removed: Bloody Hair Brooch, Dirty Uwabaki, Katsumori Talisman, Prayer Beads Bracelet, Father’s Glasses
  • New Terror Radius music

Developer notes: The Spirit’s phase walking mind-games have evolved into something of a Kobayashi Maru. By adding some audio cues, it should give sharp survivors a chance to figure out what she’s doing and react accordingly. Along with this, we’ve replaced some of her more problematic / boring add-ons with new ones that should provide more varied options for potential playstyles.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Plague

  • If the power button is released early, Vile Purge will continue charging to the minimum threshold instead of cancelling and entering cooldown
  • Vile Purge cooldown move speed increased from 2.3m/s to 3.6m/s
  • Base object infection time increased to 40 seconds (was 35 seconds)
  • Interacting with infected objects generates 2x more sickness over time than interacting with non-infected objects
  • Time to cleanse at a fountain increased to 8 seconds (was 6 seconds)
  • Add-on – Limestone Seal: Object infection bonus increased to 20 seconds (was 5 seconds)
  • Add-on – Emetic Potion: Increased Vile Purge effectiveness bonus to 30% (was 25%)
  • Add-on – Hematite Seal: Object infection bonus increased to 30 seconds (was 10 seconds)
  • Add-on – Infected Emetic: Decreased Vile Purge effectiveness bonus to 40% (was 50%)
  • Add-on – Ashen Apple: Removed object infection duration modifier. Added effect: Increases the number of Pools of Devotion in the trial by 1
  • Add-on – Rubbing Oil: Reduced Vile Purge charge speed bonus to 50% (was 100%)
  • Add-on – Exorcism Amulet: Increased Corrupt Purge duration bonus to 10 seconds (was 6 seconds)
  • Add-on – Devotees Amulet: Increased Corrupt Purge duration bonus to 20 seconds (was 8 seconds)
  • Add-on – Black Incense: Decreased survivor aura reveal duration to 3 seconds (was 5 seconds)
  • Add-on – Iridescent Seal: Removed speed penalty while holding Corrupt Purge
  • Reworked Add-on – Prayer Tablet Fragment: Vile Purge no longer affects Survivors. Increases object infection duration by 40 seconds. Increases infection from infected objects by 100%. Increases Devious Bloodpoints by 100%
  • Reworked Add-on – Olibanum Incense: Survivors who cleanse at fountains have their auras revealed for 4 seconds
  • Reworked Add-on – Prophylactic Amulet: Decreases the number of Pools of Devotion in the trial by 2
  • Reworked Add-on – Incensed Ointment: Ingesting the corruption at a Pool of Devotion causes all Survivors within The Plague’s Terror Radius to scream and reveal their locations
  • Reworked Add-on – Vile Emetic: Increases velocity of vomit projectiles by 10%

Developer notes: These changes are intended to be a general buff and to enhance quality-of-life for The Plague. It was far too common for players to attempt a quick purge only to accidentally release the charge a fraction of a second too early and unintentionally end up in cooldown, so we’ve changed the behaviour of early releases to charge to a minimum threshold instead of going on cooldown. We have also buffed the options for focusing on infecting objects during the trial, with infected objects now increasing infection faster than non-infected ones.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Deathslinger

  • The Deathslinger must now wait for the Enter Aim animation to complete before being able to fire (0.4 seconds)
  • The Deathslinger must now wait for the Exit Aim animation to complete before being able to attack (0.6 seconds)
  • Increased movement speed when aiming down sights to 85% (was 75%)
  • The cooldown when a survivor breaks free is now the same duration as a successful hit cooldown
  • Increased terror radius to 32 meters (was 24 meters)
  • Add-on – Gold Creek Whiskey: Removed movement speed penalty
  • Add-on – Marshal’s Badge: Removed movement speed penalty
  • Add-on – Iridescent Coin: Decreased range requirement to 12 meters (was 15 meters)
  • Add-on – Wanted Poster: Decreased movement speed while aiming to 2.5% (was 10%)
  • Add-on – Jaw Smasher: Decreased movement speed while aiming to 1% (was 5%)
  • Reworked Add-on – Hellshire Iron: When a Survivor is speared, gain Undetectable. The effect persists for 10 seconds after the Survivor is no longer speared.

Developer notes: We were unhappy with how easy it was for players to “insta-scope” survivors, especially given how little counterplay this had for survivor players. To combat this, The Deathslinger now has minimum enter / exit times when aiming down sights before being able to shoot / attack normally. We have also adjusted the stun when survivors break free to be the same as a successful hit, giving players a choice to break the reel early in exchange for losing out on the damage / deep wound. Wanted Poster and Jaw Smasher are to account for his new base movement speed while aiming: When stacked The Deathslinger moves at ~3.9m/s, which is very close to Survivor move speed of 4.0 m/s.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Ghost Face

  • Night Shroud recovery time decreased to 24 seconds (was 30 seconds)
  • Add-on – Walleye’s Matchbook: Decreased Night Shroud recovery modifier to 2 seconds (was 4 seconds)
  • Add-on – Olson’s Address Book: Decreased Night Shroud recovery modifier to 3 seconds (was 6 seconds)
  • Add-on – Chewed Pen: Decreased Night Shroud recovery modifier to 4 seconds (was 8 seconds)

Developer notes: Player feedback about Ghost Face’s add-ons was very clear: decreased recovery time was more appealing than any other option. In light of this, we have ‘baked in’ roughly half the effect of these add-ons to encourage a wider variety of selection.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Blight

  • Add-on – Adrenaline Vial: Increased rush token recharge bonus to 1 second (was 0.75 seconds). Added effect: Increases Rushing speed by 10%
  • Add-on – Summoning Stone: Increased pallet blocking range to 16 meters (was 12 meters). Increased pallet blocking duration to 15 seconds (was 6 seconds)

Developer notes: The add-on Adrenaline Vial is supposed to enable an alternate “straight line dash” playstyle for players interested in novelty. While it’s still unlikely to be stronger than baseline Blight play, increased movement speed and token recharge should make the alternate playstyle a bit more viable. Additionally, the values on Summoning Stone have been increased to better reflect the perk it is referencing (Hex: Blood Favor).

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Oni

  • Add-on – Scalped Topknot: Reduced Demon Dash activation reduction to 0.5 seconds (was 1 second)

Developer notes: Easy one here, Scalped Topknot was over performing when used, so it needed an adjustment to bring it in line.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

The Trickster

  • Add-on – Ji-Woon’s Autograph: Decreased the reduction of blades required to 1 (was 2)

Developer notes: There was an error that caused Ji-Woon’s Autograph and Fizz-Spin Soda to bother reduce the blades required by 2, so we’ve reduced the power of the more common add-on.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

Survivor Perks

The following perks have become General Perks, and their names have changed:

  • Babysitter is now Guardian
  • Camaraderie is now Kinship
  • Second Wind is now Renewal
  • Better Together is now Situational Awareness
  • Fixated is now Self-Aware
  • Inner Strength is now Inner Healing

Perk Balancing

  • Vigil: Recovery bonus increased to 20/25/30% (was 10/15/20%). Added Broken, Exposed, and Oblivious to the status effects modified by the perk
  • Guardian (formerly Babysitter): Added a 7% Haste status effect for the rescued survivor. Removed the Killer seeing your aura. Killer aura visibility for you increased to 8 seconds (was 4 seconds)
  • For the People: Reduced the duration of the Broken status effect to 80/70/60 seconds (was 110/100/90 seconds)
  • Windows of Opportunity: Increased effective range to 24/28/32 meters (was 20 meters). Removed cooldown after vaulting / dropping a Pallet
  • Repressed Alliance: Generator repair requirement reduced to 55/50/45 seconds (was 80/70/60 seconds)
  • Built to Last – Reworked: After hiding inside a Locker for 14/13/12 seconds with a depleted item in hand, 99% of its charges are refilled. Each use of Built to Last reduces the amount of charges refilled by 33%. Added stinger audio when item charges are refilled
  • Any Means Necessary: Added effect: You can see the auras of dropped pallets
  • No Mither: Grunts of pain reduction increased to 25/50/75% (was 0/25/50%). Added effect: Your recovery speed is increased by 15/20/25%

Developer notes: All of these perks have a low usage rate, low success rate, or both. They have all seen buffs to make them more appealing and more effective.

PatchNotesDividerSmolWhite.png

Killer Perks

The following perks have become General Perks, and their names have changed:

  • Surge is now Jolt
  • Mindbreaker is now Fearmonger
  • Cruel Limits is now Claustrophobia

Perk Balancing

  • Hex: Retribution: Oblivious condition changed to trigger from interacting with any type of totem (was just cleansing hex totems): Increased aura reveal time to 15 seconds (was 10 seconds)
  • Hex: Blood Favor: Pallet blocking effect now triggers off survivors losing a health state (was basic attacks). Pallet blocking radius increased to 32 meters (was 16 meters). Pallet blocking is now centered around the survivor losing health. Cooldown has been removed
  • Hex: The Third Seal: Blindness effect now triggers off basic attacks and special attacks (was just basic attacks)
  • Hex: Thrill of the Hunt: Survivor penalty now applies to both Cleansing and Blessing actions (was just Cleansing). Penalty stacks increased to 8/9/10% per stack (was 4/5/6%). Maximum penalty increased to 40/45/50% (was 30%). Loud noise notification has been removed
  • Fearmonger (formerly Mindbreaker): Now applies Exhausted and Blindness to survivors (was just Exhausted)

Developer notes: Hex: Retribution and Hex: Thrill of the Hunt have been adjusted to take the new Boon Totem perks into account. The other perks have been generally unpopular, so some buffs are warranted to increase viability.

Changes from PTB

Hex: Blood Favor

  • Now triggers when a survivor loses a health state, and the area of effect is centered on the survivor

Boon Perks

  • Multiple instances of the same Boon Perk no longer stack when the areas of effect overlap from multiple totems
  • Blessing a Hex Totem now takes 24 seconds (was 14 seconds)
  • Boon Totem range has been reduced to 24 meters (was 28 meters)

The Deathslinger

  • Add-on – Wanted Poster: Decreased movement speed while aiming to 2.5% (was 10%)
  • Add-on – Jaw Smasher: Decreased movement speed while aiming to 1% (was 5%)

The Trickster

  • Add-on – Ji-Woon’s Autograph
  • Decreased the reduction of blades required to 1 (was 2)

Mikaela Reid

  •  Lowered Mikaela Reid’s voice

Dev notes: Blood Favor was changed to use healthstates instead of attacks to be more balanced for killers like Legion and Trickster, as well as recentering the trigger location on the survivor to prevent situations where a survivor was injured at a distance. Boon Totems were a bit too strong on the PTB, but these changes should bring them into line with our expectations. The Deathslinger add-ons were adjusted to account for his buffed base movement speed. Ji-Woon’s Autograph had an error that caused it to have the same reduction as the rarer addon Fizz-Spin Soda.

That’s it for the latest big update for Dead by Daylight.

Professions

A whole lot of changes have been made to the Professions system, so we’re breaking it out into its own category at the bottom of these notes.

The Reaper’s Challenge

A new category of queue has been added: The Reaper’s Challenge. Each day provides a different queued map, with different modifiers, resulting in a variety of difficulties and experiences. Completing the daily challenge gives a currency which can be spent at the Priest of Myrkul, who has newly arrived to Protector’s Enclave. Each challenge can be completed once per day, per account, and the currency can be transferred between characters on the Shared Bank.

Fallout 76 Update 1.58 Shoots Out This October 19

  by   MP1st Staff  
10:34 am in News

Bethesda has rolled out the Fallout 76 update 1.58 patch this October 19, and this one is for the game’s big Halloween update. Head on down below for the complete patch notes.

Fallout 76 Update 1.58 Patch Notes:

Halloween is descending on Appalachia with our latest update for Fallout 76, which arrives today. Scare up some fun over the next two weeks by hunting down Spooky Scorched, trick-or-treating at others’ C.A.M.P.s, and by giving out candy from your own home. Read on to catch all the details.

Update Highlights

  • Spooky Scorched: Some of the Scorched are celebrating the Halloween season by dressing in costume and dropping special loot!
  • Pass Out Candy from your Haunted House: Claim a free Spooky Candy Bowl from the Atomic Shop, place it in your C.A.M.P., and fill it with Mystery Candy for trick-or-treaters to complete Challenges and earn rewards.
  • Trick-or-Treat Around Appalachia: Step into your favorite costume and collect Mystery Candy from other players’ C.A.M.P.s to receive additional Challenge rewards.

Update Version 1.6.1.18

Check the download sizes below for today’s patch on your platform of choice:

  • PC (Bethesda.net): 2.3 GB
  • PC (Microsoft Store): 2.2 GB
  • PC (Steam): 9.3 GB
  • PlayStation: 9.2 GB
  • Xbox: 8.8 GB

Spooky Scorched Are on the Prowl

Halloween is almost here, and some of the Scorched are getting into the spirit of the season by dressing in their most festive costumes as they creep around Appalachia! From now until November 2, whenever you spot “Spooky Scorched” during your adventures, or hear their spine-chilling holiday sounds, it’s time to go on the hunt.

  • Spooky Scorched will spawn as 1, 2, or 3-star legendaries, which means you’ll receive a legendary item every time you take one down.
  • You’ll also receive a Spooky Treat Bag, which you can open to get some goodies like consumables, ammo, and a chance at some Halloween themed Plans.
  • Finally, you’ll receive a piece of Mystery Candy that you can eat to receive one of five random buffs, which may include stat boosts, or even Nukashine-like effects.
    • TIP: While it can be tempting to devour all your Mystery Candy right away, you may want to hold on to a few pieces so that you can take part in our Trick-or-Treating event this year (more on that below).
  • Please also note that, like the Holiday Scorched, Spooky Scorched will not spawn inside of interiors.

Trick or Treat!

The Scorched won’t be the only ones haunting the Wasteland this Halloween! From now until November 2, you can dress up in costume to go trick-or-treating around Appalachia with your friends, and even give out candy to trick-or-treaters who visit your home. Along the way, you’ll be able to complete new trick-or-treating Challenges to earn rewards.

Pass Out Candy to Trick-or-Treaters

  • Visit the Atomic Shop to claim a free Spooky Candy Bowl before November 2, build it in your C.A.M.P., and fill it with Mystery Candy for trick-or-treaters to enjoy.
    • Get your hands on Mystery Candy by looting Spooky Scorched, or buying some with Caps from train station vendors around Appalachia.
    • TIP: Place your Spooky Candy Bowl in an obvious spot in your C.A.M.P. where trick-or-treaters can easily find it.
    • Please also note that Spooky Candy Bowls cannot be placed inside Shelters.
  • Your C.A.M.P. will display a pumpkin icon on the Map once you’ve added Mystery Candy to your Spooky Candy Bowl, which will let other Dwellers know they are welcome to stop by for a treat.
    • If your candy bowl is empty, the pumpkin icon will stop appearing for your C.A.M.P. until you refill it.
    • Each trick-or-treater can only take one piece of candy per hour from your candy bowl, so there’s no need to worry about anyone swiping more than their fair share.
  • Over the next two weeks, you will receive Daily and Weekly Challenges to give out candy, which you can complete to earn rewards!
    • Daily Challenges will grant you one of several possible rewards, like a consumable item, Perk Card Pack, Lunchbox, Repair Kit, or some S.C.O.R.E.
    • Weekly Challenges to give candy to trick-or-treaters can award S.C.O.R.E., rare crafting materials, or even Halloween costumes. Complete both Weekly Challenges and you’ll also receive a new Popcorn Machine for your C.A.M.P.!

Go On the Hunt for Candy!

  • Dust off your favorite costume, grab a few friends, and leave space in your pack for plenty of candy, because it’s time to trick or treat your way around the Wasteland!
    • Open the Map to spot C.A.M.P.s that have a pumpkin icon, which indicates that the owner currently has a Spooky Candy Bowl stocked up with Mystery Candy.
  • Each day until November 2, you will receive a new Daily Challenge to trick or treat at other Dwellers’ C.A.M.P.s.
    • Like the Daily Challenges to give out candy, completing each trick-or-treating Daily will net you one of several rewards, including consumables, a Perk Card Pack, Lunchbox, Repair Kit, or some S.C.O.R.E.
  • Make sure you’re wearing a costume when you take Mystery Candy from someone else’s Spooky Candy Bowl to ensure you’ll receive Challenge credit.
    • There are many different costume options available in-game, such as those you can find during your adventures, a variety of Unstoppables-themed rank-up rewards from the Season 6 Scoreboard, as well as costumes you can purchase in the Atomic Shop.

  • Pip-Boy: Opening a Holotape in the Pip-Boy and then switching to or from Quick-Boy view no longer causes the Pip-Boy UI to overlap the Holotape’s content.

World

  • Collision: Addressed a number of objects throughout Appalachia that players could partially clip into or walk through.
  • Pathing: Addressed a number of locations throughout Appalachia where players or creatures could become stuck.

That’s about it for the patch.

Hi-Rez Studios has released the SMITE update 11.95 patch this October 19, and this one adds a new deity in the game, the Celtic god Cliodhna. Head on below for the full patch notes list.

SMITE Update 11.95 Patch Notes | SMITE Update 8.10 Patch Notes:

New Celtic God

Cliodhna

The Queen of the Banshees

Phantasmal

  • Cliodhna can walk into walls once every 16s. While inside a wall she can move freely and use some of her abilities. Every 0.5s she loses 0.15% of her health, stacking in intensity up to 40 times. She cannot enter a wall while below 25% Health or crippled. While inside a wall and for 5s after exiting she gains 10% Physical Ability Lifesteal.

Banshee’s Wail

  • Cliodhna wails at enemies before her, causing damage 3 times, with the final hit being the strongest. The final hit will also cause enemies to be silenced and deafened for 1.5s. While channeling this scream Cliodhna is immune to knockups. While inside a wall Cliodhna will cause a spectral face to appear and wail in her stead that damages enemy gods in a wider cone.
    • Scream Damage: 35/50/65/80/95 (+40% of your Physical Power)
    • Final Hit Damage: 70/110/150/190/230 (+70% of your Physical Power)
    • Cooldown: 12s
    • Cost: 50/55/60/65/70

Flickering Visions

  • Cliodhna fires a distorting bolt of energy that explodes on contact with a living soul. Enemy gods hit by this explosion lose the ability to perceive Cliodhna for 4s. If Cliodhna attacks or is hit she flickers back into vision before fading back out. As long as one enemy god is debuffed Cliodhna gains a Movement Speed Buff.
    • Bolt Damage: 90/145/200/255/310 (+70% of your Physical Power)
    • Movement Speed: 20/25/30/35/40%
    • Cooldown: 14s
    • Cost: 50/55/60/65/70

Lurching Claw

  • Cliodhna dashes forward, damaging enemies she passes through. At max range, if she cancels this dash, or upon refiring the ability she will unleash a claw swipe that deals heavy damage. Cliodhna can cast this while inside a wall, resulting in the dash traveling further.
    • Dash Damage: 35/60/85/110/135 (+30% of your Physical Power)
    • Claw Damage: 90/140/190/240/290 (+95% of your Physical Power)
    • Cooldown: 14/13.5/13/12.5/12s
    • Cost: 50/55/60/65/70

Tearing The Veil

  • Cliodhna tears the veil between life and death, unleashing banshees in a line in-front of her after a brief delay. When it first opens it deals heavy damage before dealing rift damage rapidly to targets in the area and slowing them. Enemies hit by subsequent hits take less damage. This ability has 2 charges. Cliodhna can use this ability while inside a wall. When used this way the veil is weakened but not fully torn, instead activating when a target gets too close.
    • Opening Damage: 150/275/400/525/650 (+90% of your Physical Power)
    • Rift Damage: 80/120/160/200/240 (+35% of your Physical Power)
    • Slow: 6%
    • Slow Stacks: 6
    • Cooldown: 50s

  • Thanatos
    • Fixed an issue where some skins would throw the scythe horizontally
Balance live with the 8.10 Update October 19

Game Modes

  • Chinese Joust Map
    • The player response and metrics for the Season 3 Chinese Joust Map have been phenomenal! We will most likely keep this map as the default for a longer period than the Classic Joust test. With that in mind, we are applying a few balance changes and fixes to make sure this map provides the best possible Joust experience. Players are still struggling to reach lvl 20, so we are increasing the XP Split Bonus. This will increase your XP gain from anything on the map, as long as it is shared between at least 2 players. So make sure to stay grouped up! We are also applying some fixes to the outer walls to better interact with abilities, and increasing the tankiness of the Bull Demon King to better match more modern SMITE Jungle Bosses.
    • Increased Split Bonus from 0.65 to 0.75
    • Fixed various issues where abilities could travel to areas outside the map
    • Bull Demon King
      • Increased Max Health from 1750 to 2250
      • Increased Physical Protections from 25 to 45
      • Increased Magical Protections from 25 to 30
    • These changes apply to both Joust and Duel (although XP splitting won’t apply)
  • Conquest Update – The Winter Deadwoods
    • The seasons are changing, and winter arrives early to the SMITE universe. The war of the gods is taking a toll on those around them. Humans are losing trust in those that they worship while the lands they loved are overrun with death. This has manifested itself into a blanket of snow and fog across the battleground. We can only hope that there will eventually be peace, but things may get worse before they get better.
    • With this theme, comes a huge artistic change to the map. For the first time in SMITE history the map will be overseeing a huge visual change outside of an actual rework. The lanes and jungle paths will remain in their current state, but the visuals will be drastically changed. A new mechanic will also be introduced in this update. Eerie Lanterns have been tactically constructed across the map – shattering them with a basic attack will allow the Mist to set in – creating a small area of stealth coverage that any god can lurk within. The jungle gets even more dangerous in The Winter Deadwoods!
      • New Art Set
        • Snow and Ice has covered the Conquest map, and will remain there until 9.1
      • New Mechanic
        • Lanterns
          • Can be destroyed with a single basic attack
          • Once destroyed, the Lantern releases a cloud of Mist in a small circular area of effect which lasts 1 minute
          • Respawns 5 seconds before the Mist expires
        • Mist
          • Gods inside the Mist are hidden to all enemy Gods outside
          • Reveal rules – Gods hiding inside the Mist will be briefly revealed to enemy Gods if:
            • They basic attack
            • They cast or channel an ability
            • They take damage
            • They are hit by an enemy ability or passive item that grants extra vision
            • An enemy ward is placed inside the Mist with them
              • Note: enemy wards placed outside of the Mist still ping enemies within the Mist on the minimap, but do not fully reveal them
          • Abilities that grant Stealth override the Mist’s reveal rules
          • AI minions ignore enemy Gods inside the Mist, unless that God is revealed
      • Green Buff Camp

      • This new jungle buff will continue to be an objective on the new iteration of this map, but we are going to continue making changes to improve the experience. We have seen the feedback of players attempting to start at this buff before minions start, and we want to address it further. We feel that making this camp available too early could have a large ripple effect on other role’s starts and their early game experience levels, so instead we are pushing its spawn even later. We are also decreasing its health scaling by a significant amount to make sure it can be cleared more quickly, even if by a lone support player.

        • Support Buff
          • Increased Base Health and Mana provided by this buff from 50 to 100 of each
          • Increased the HP5 and MP5 from the enhanced effect from 10 to 15 of each
        • Mangy Draugr
          • Increased Spawn Time of this buff from 00:35s to 01:00m
          • Decrease HP Scaling per stack from 135 to 90
      • Other Notes
        • The Draugr boss and his arena will remain on the winter map
        • The new XP camps introduced by Duo and Solo lane will also remain on the winter map

 

Items

Elixir of Defense
With the departure of boots the endgame item options have opened up a bit more. Speed Elixir and a 6th item was a significant cost, which is now going right to relic upgrades, power pots, and elixirs. In the later stages of games the DPS gods are enjoying their Elixir, which felt distinctly more powerful than the defensive one, we are increasing the damage mitigation to get them to be on more equal footing.
  • Increased Damage Mitigation from 5% to 10%

(Starter) Warding Sigil
Solo Lane has been through quite a journey this season, especially with their items. At the start of the season we introduced a variety of more defensive items to the lane, but now we are seeing even more focus on power, especially with the new meta start of the Solo Laner killing their Blue Buff by themselves. We are reworking the entire Sigil tree to have physical power for this reason. We should see this better compete with Bluestone pendant, and we even plan to go through a similar design pass with Warrior’s Axe.
  • 600g
  • +75 Health
  • +15 Physical Power
  • +10 Magical Protections
  • +10 Physical Protections
    • PASSIVE – When you are hit by an ability you gain a stack of Dampening, gaining 5 Protections for 5s. This occurs only once per ability cast. This can stack up to two times.

(Upgrade) Sigil of the Old Guard
  • +200 Health
  • +35 Physical Power
  • +75 Magical Protection
  • +45 Physical Protection
    • PASSIVE – When you are hit by an ability you gain a stack of Rebuke, decreasing damage taken by 4% for 5s. This occurs only once per ability cast. This can stack up to three times.

(Upgrade) Infused Sigil
  • +350 Health
  • +50 Physical Power
  • +35 Physical Protection
  • +35 Magical Protection
    • PASSIVE – When you are hit by an ability the Infused Sigil gains a stack. This can occur only once per ability cast. At 4 stacks it explodes after 0.5s, dealing 500 Physical Damage to enemies within 30 units of you.

(Upgrade) War Banner
War Flag has been updated to provide protections, but the upgrades weren’t touched. This creates a strange effect in the tree where stats were lost. We are doing the same shift on War Banner for players who want to get the War Flag Starter and continue to stay tanky through the late game. We are also choosing to leave Spartan Flag as a power item option, even though certain stats would be lost from War Flag. This will make sure War Flag starts feel like they have the most possible options.
  • Removed 30 Physical Power
  • Removed 60 Magical Power
  • Added 40 Physical Protection
  • Added 40 Magical Protection

(Starter) Bumba’s Dagger
Junglers are BACK! We have seen a huge array of Assassins back in the Jungle this week and seeing more high power builds. This item has shown to be so strong that even other roles are picking it up, so in a similar way as the Bonus Balance, we are toning things down slightly. We have seen 3 power make a big shift on Starter Items before (Bluestone) so we are applying that same shift here to make sure Jungler’s still feel good, without being OP, and to slightly decrease this item’s allure to non-Jungle roles.
  • Decreased Physical Power from 10 to 7
  • Decreased Magical Power from 15 to 12

(Starter) Manikins Scepter
Doing a partial revert on Bumba’s runs the risk of Manikins coming back to dominate the meta. We want to bring them down together in this case, and one of the very specific reasons that Manikins was over performing in previous months was because of how it interacted with Jungle Scorpions. These are counted as Jungle Bosses, but Manikins still did 4x damage to them, we are nerfing Manikins’ damage toward bosses to remove this specific advantage.
  • No longer does 4x burn damage to jungle bosses, including jungle scorpions
  • Will now do the 1x damage to those targets like it does to gods

(Starter) Leather Cowl
This change comes along with the same logic as Manikins. Bumba’s Dagger is a popular choice for hunters now, but with it being nerfed slightly it’s possible we go back to 100% cowl. We would like to see the basic attack focused Hunters branch out into Diamond Arrow or Death’s Toll, so these small nerfs to Cowl should help those other options look more attractive.
  • Decreased MP5 from 7 to 5
  • Decreased Lifesteal from 10% to 7%

(Upgrade) Hunter’s Cowl
As the more popular upgrade to Cowl, and a source of a huge amount of attack speed, we are toning down this item as well for the same reasons as Leather Cowl.
  • Decreased Attack Speed from 20% to 15%
  • Decreased Attack Speed Aura from 25% to 20%

Pridwen
This is a big one. This is the primary item that has enabled tanky Junglers. We are applying a shift to make this item passive only scale based on item protections, so you’ll need to be buying more protection items to make this effect worth it. However, it will also scale better to better reward those who do fully build into it. We may have discouraged full tank Junglers in the short term with recent changes, but its always possible that they come back, so this change will discourage that even further, while still being a strong option for full tanks in the Support role.
  • Pridwen now only scales based on protection from items (no longer includes base protections)
    • Increased Shield Health Scaling from Protections from 100% to 125%.
    • Increased Magical Damage Scaling from Shield Health from 50% to 75%.

Spectral Armor
This is less of a nerf to an item and more of a buff to a single god. It does have some fringe applications like interactions with Fail-Not, but primarily this change is being applied so that Olorun can have a chance to shine. Since Olorun has no choice if he wants to build into crit, it seems unfair to punish him with a counter item.
  • This item no longer reduces damage from Magical Critical Strikes
  • This affects Olorun and mages or guardians hitting a target that is afflicted by Fail-Not’s passive effect

Gods

Tiamat
Although most players might feel like Tiamat is much more manageable now, her reign of terror is still ongoing in the higher ends of ranked and in competitive play. We are taking down part of Tiamat’s tankiness as well as her top end power scaling as a two-pronged approach to get her down to the power level of other Mages.

Death Begets Life
  • Decreased % Mitigation Tiamat gets from this abilitie’s base value from 30% to 25%

Primordial Onslaught
  • Decreased Magical Power Scaling from 35% to 30% per hit (122.5% to 105% total for all 5 projectiles)
Raijin
With the threat of physical gods taking over, we took some more time to collect data and feedback before nerfing any Mages. For this reason we do have 2 Mage nerfs in the main patch instead of the Bonus Balance. Raijin and Tiamat have shown themselves as the top gods in the role even after 8.9. Raijin’s Ultimate can deal a huge amount of damage or provide long range CC, we are taking this damage down to nerf him even further, hoping to make room for new Mages in the meta.

Taiko Drums
  • Decreased Magical Power Scaling from 50% per shot to 40% (200% total on full damage options to 160%)
Sylvanus
The RNG passive is gone and passive has been doing quite well lately. We kept the cooldown reduction low on this new passive for most of the game because of its power to be stacked. As players have now seen, you can find ways to collect a lot of seeds through this passive all at once. We don’t want to let that scale up too soon, but we are willing to make a slight adjustment to align with what is considered an “endgame Support” – so this ability now upgrade at lvl 17, along with Support Starter Items.

Nature’s Bounty
  • Decreased Level where it upgrades from 20 to 17
Charybdis
New gods are always a learning process. This is true for the dev team as well as the players. Charybdis had some bugs, as well as a steep learning curve. We sought out to fix this goddess’ bugs first, as rushing to buffs on new gods can quickly backfire. However, even after fixing her bugs, this goddess’ win rates have stayed low. We are buffing her across a few different places in the kit, mostly focusing on improving her basic attack damage and her lane clear. We still feel like this goddess has a lot of potential, and are looking forward to see how people utilize her after these buffs.

General
  • Increased base Physical Power from 34 to 38
  • Increased % Damage on the triple shot basics from 33% each to 40% each

Raging Tides
  • Decreased the Item Damage Reduction from 35% to 30%
    • (Item damage being increased from 65% to 70%)

Spike Shot
  • Increased Damage done to minions from 60/70/80/90/100% of her base to 80/85/90/95/100%
  • Increased Splinter Damage Physical Scaling from 10% to 15% (she gets this damage on direct hits of enemy gods as well as the bouncing projectile)

The Maw Hungers
  • Charybdis now can move freely in all directions while in her Ultimate state
Cernunnos
Ability hunters are running rampant, so we are looking to buff back a few basic attack hunters who haven’t been able to keep up. Cernunnos is getting a small buff here that should feel like a big QoL improvement. His ultimate will now deal damage to minions, jungle monsters, and bosses. This will give him a big bonus in lane 1v1s as he can now CC the enemy and clear the wave at the same time. This could also help him steal jungle bosses. Cernunnos will be back on the hunt!

The Wild Hunt
  • Now Deals damage to minions and jungle camps/bosses
Olorun
Spectral Armor is just one part of the buff plan for this god. Olorun was heavily countered by an item, and now that is being removed, which should help him a lot. The team didn’t think this would be enough to really give him a shot in the current meta, though. So we are also increasing the amount of damage his Overflowing Divinity ability deals on hits after the first. This will help him in pvp in some cases, but be an even bigger advantage when it comes to securing objectives.

Overflowing Divinity
  • Increased the damage dealt on subsequent hits from 30% less damage to 20% less damage
Vulcan
Another mage that hasn’t seen much competitive play recently. Vulcan Ultimate can have a big payoff but tends to be avoided often. We are taking this cooldown to much lower levels as you rank it up to make sure he gets the proper chance to blow up the enemy team.

Earthshaker
  • Decreased Cooldown from 90s to 90/85/80/75/70s
Agni
This god has been long considered “perfectly balanced” but he also hasn’t shown up in a competitive match in a long time. His stats have slipped over the years, and certain god pools and item options can affect Agni a lot. Agni misses out on a lot of potential damage when detonating his ability combo, so we are making that feel better to do. Agni players will now receive a small amount of bonus damage when they successfully stun enemies. We are also taking his mana costs down a bit, and making his Ultimate cost a small amount of Mana to make sure it triggers on items that it feel like it should – like Gem of Focus.

Noxious Fumes
  • Now deals bonus damage when it successfully stuns an enemy when combined with agni’s fire abilities
    • 20/40/60/80/100 + 20% Magical Power Scaling

Flame Wave
  • Decreased Mana cost from 60/70/80/90/100 to 60/65/70/75/80

Rain Fire
  • Increased Mana Cost from 0 to 10
Mulan – Olympian Suggested
Practice makes perfect. Mulan’s Training Arc ability can be rewarding, but can also be a bit slow. She takes too long to get online which can hold her back. We are speeding up that process across the board, by giving her more skill from minions. We are further increasing the rate on her first two abilities by lowering the thresholds required.

Training Arc
  • Decrease Skill required to unlock the upgrades on her Sword ability from 600/2400/6000 to 500/2000/5000
  • Decrease Skill required to unlock the upgrades on her Spear  ability from 600/2400/6000 to 500/2000/5000
  • Increase Skill Gain from Minions 20% to 30% toward all 3 abilities
Amaterasu
This god with a storied history has really fallen into the shadows. She brings a great amount of utility to her teams, but most of that was stacked toward her late game. For this pass we wanted to buff her early game utility, which should increase her damage as well as her defenses in the early stages.

Divine Presence
  • Increased the Bonus Power from the Valor Aura from 10/15/20/25/30 to 14/18/22/26/30

Heavenly Reflection
  • Increased Self Damage Mitigation while charging this ability from 3/6/9/12/15% to 7/9/11/13/15%
Achilles
We are looking to bring some new Warriors into viability, and Achilles has been out of the spotlight for quite a while. He got some heavy nerfs over the years, one of which we are partially reverting in this update. Combat dodge is an important ability for his lane clear in the Solo Lane which should give him a leg-up against the rest of the roster.

Combat Dodge
  • Increased damage from 50/85/120/155/190 to 60/95/130/165/200
New Skin Voice Actors
  • Cliodhna: Elsie Lovelock
  • Cybershadow Merlin: Kestin Howard
  • Crimson Steel Ares: Kyle Phillips
  • Omniscient Oracle Zeus: Chris Guerrero
  • Cosmic Fortune Ganesha: Brent Mukai
  • C.A.T. Force Hercules: Deneen Melody
  • Deadly Doll Cliodhna: Lily Emil Lammers
  • Halloween Hysteria Baron Samedi: Thomas G. Burt
  • Wiseguy Cupid: Jeff Shine
  • Screamy Chibi Izanami: Lisa Ortiz
  • KittyKarna Kumbhakarna: Nazeeh Tarsha
Community Concepts
post-pts balance

(Upgrade) Bumba’s Spear
Bumba’s Dagger and Bumba’s Spear have become a staple in rolls even outside of the Jungle. While we are adjusting Bumba’s Dagger already; Bumba’s Spear was another point players mentioned as a reason for this tree’s sudden pickup strength. With a 50% increase in damage to objectives the ability to control objectives in the late game was too valuable to pass up. We are reducing it to 35% to temper how valuable this is outside of the Jungle role.
  • Decreased Ability Damage on Jungle Camps, Structures, and Jungle Bosses From 50% additional damage to 35% additional damage

(Starter) Warding Sigil
Warding Sigil’s adjustments offer an exciting opportunity for Warrior’s to gain a new option in the Solo lane but we want to ensure it doesn’t become the only option. At 600 gold it had a clear advantage in build strength and power; allowing it to be combined with both another T1 item for 600 and a Health Chalice. Since it offers potent power and defensive stats we are increasing the cost from 600 to 650 to make it better match Bluestone Pendant’s first buy power and keep Warrior’s Axe with this unique strength.
  • Increased Cost from 600 to 650
Cliodhna
Cliodhna certainly left a scary impression on everyone! Her unique strengths and playstyle will be interesting to follow during her release and as players master this goddess but we wanted to do some adjustments before her official release. Tearing The Veil had an issue where ranking this ability did not properly increase it’s damage and in spite of this issue she did quite well. Since fixing this alone is a strong buff we wanted to pull back how much per rank this provided in the first place. To further offset this fix we are looking to remove some extra strength she likely did not need in the Movement Speed of Flickering Visions. Now at later ranks she won’t zoom quite as fast while chasing down her prey. Finally we are lowering the scaling of Lurching Claw to lower the raw burst she can hit an enemy with.
As a goddess who relies more on strong positioning and utilizing her tools over hard lockdown her ability to provide high damage numbers is a strength we feel like she needs and so we were conservative in bringing them down before her launch. Once players both learn to play as and against her we will be able to fine tune these values.

 

Flickering Visions
  • Decreased Movement Speed from 20/25/30/35/40% to 25% at all ranks

Lurching Claw
  • Decreased Claw Damage Physical Power Scaling from 95% to 85%
  • Fixed an issue where she could be put into a broken animation state if hit by a knock up while dashing

Tearing The Veil
  • Fixed an issue where the initial burst was dealing rank 1 damage regardless of rank
  • Decreased Base Damage of Burst hit from 150/275/400/525/650 to 150/225/300/375/450

That’s about it for the patch.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy TV Spot Shows Star-Lord and the Team Enacting Plan B

  by   Tim Villasor  
9:44 am in News

Gamers can look forward to a crazy adventure ahead for Peter Quill and friends, as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy TV spot shows Star-Lord and the team enacting Plan B — meaning there’s going to be all kinds of trouble and the heroes are going to have to come up with a plan by doing a huddle!

Here’s the brand new spot from Square Enix and Eidos Montreal, preparing us for their awesome adaptation of the cosmic heroes of the Marvel universe!

As seen in the new trailer, Star-Lord will have to gather around with Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot in a Huddle — where they assess the situation and will have to devise a strategy before proceeding with Plan B. Since players control Star-Lord and he gives out commands to his team, this motivational gameplay mechanic will determine what kind of power-ups the rest of the Guardians will receive and how that applies in taking out enemies. Also as the action amps up, players can listen to any of the 30 licensed tracks that will be a part of the game — which you can read about here as well as checking out that Star-Lord band Peter Quill takes his superhero name from.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will be out for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch via cloud gaming, and PC on October 26. Stay tuned to our review hitting the site soon.

Dbrand Unveils New PS5 Custom Plates With Air Vents, Dares Sony to Sue Them Again

  by   MP1st Staff  
4:29 am in News

Just when everyone thought it was over, the infamous skin manufacturer is still not out of the game yet as it would appear, as Dbrand has officially unveiled new PS5 custom plates despite Sony threatening them with a lawsuit. However, Dbrand maintains that this time it’s different, as the company unveiled their plans on their official subreddit.

Darkplates are back. Checkmate, Lawyers.
byu/dbrand indbrand

Dbrand made a lengthy post on their subreddit mentioning how their ‘new’ design now no longer infringes Sony’s copyrights, and apparently all it took in the end was going with “adding vents.” As elaborated further by Dbrand in their post.

But wait – we did more than create a brand new shape and house it in a needlessly extravagant box. See, before this legal shit show pulled our focus away from product development, we had quite a few concepts in mind for the future of Darkplates. Since we had to redesign the product from scratch anyways, it was the perfect opportunity to add them in.

If you’ve ever seen a PlayStation 5 without faceplates, you probably noticed something: your PS5 has a gigantic 120mm intake fan pulling air from both sides.

It’s a bit early to tell if Dbrand has finally solved their PS5 faceplate conundrum, and it would be interesting to see how Sony and the PlayStation playerbase responds. Is Dbrand within their rights with this new Darkplates? Or is Sony going to once again have the upper hand in a possible lawsuit? Let us know in the comments below!

Battlefield 2042 Tank Total Increased to 4 Per Team Each Match; Lots of BF “Lore” in Different Maps

  by   Alex Co  
6:16 pm in News

If you played the Battlefield 2042 beta and found that there wasn’t enough tanks on the ground in each match, rejoice! DICE has heard the plea of gamers, and has confirmed that the Battlefield 2042 tank total in each match has been upped from two to four!

This was confirmed by DICE Level Designer Kalle Nystrom, who posted the following in a Reddit thread:

I agree, which is why for launch they are doubled to 4 per team for a total of 8 tanks roaming the landscape!

Note that this tank increase per match only applies to 128-player matches, as Nystrom has confirmed that for last-gen, which features 64-player matches, it will still be at just two per team.

In addition to that bit of good news for tank players, DICE Producer Ben Walke has also confirmed that there is a lot of Battlefield “lore” scattered throughout the maps, which players will run across in various ways.

There’s a lot of our ‘lore’ within our maps and you’ll encounter it in various ways while running around doing normal Battlefield type things.

Vehicle radios have more than just music for example.

Battlefield fans who are eager to spot Easter eggs, it seems you’ll have a lot to look forward to come November 19!

Report: Rainbow Six Extraction Release Date Leaked, Coming January 20, 2022

  by   MP1st Staff  
3:44 pm in News

After initially delaying the game to 2022, it would appear that Ubisoft has somehow leaked the Rainbow Six Extraction release date. The next mainline game in the Rainbow Six series, it will be coming soon to PC and consoles in a different yet similar vein to its predecessor, Rainbow Six Siege.

The leak comes from the Rainbow Six Extraction release date page, where VGC first reported that it has been updated to show a January 20 release date. At the time of this writing, the page has been reverted back to its original January release window, but the URL slug still shows the January 20 date (https://news.ubisoft.com/en-gb/article/5wY6rSmd8997xcwIDJh6Gg/rainbow-six-extraction-unleashes-tactical-coop-action-on-january-20).

In case you missed it, Rainbow Six Extraction was one of two games that were delayed a couple of months back by Ubisoft, in addition to Rider’s Republic. The developer’s have shared their thoughts on the delay previously, stating that:

Our ambition with Rainbow Six Extraction is to deliver a full-fledged AAA experience that changes the way you play and think about cooperative games. With unique features like Missing In Action or The Sprawl, every mission is set to be a tense and challenging experience in which you’ll lead the elite operators of Rainbow Six in a fight against a lethal and evolving alien threat.

We are embracing the opportunity to take additional time to bring this vision to life in the way it deserves in January 2022. We are confident this will ensure Rainbow Six Extraction is the immersive, cooperative, and thrilling experience we set out to create, and the one you aspire to play.

We look forward to sharing more with you very soon!

World War Z Update 1.28 Patch Notes; Lists Vanguard, Weapon Changes & More This October 18

  by   Alex Co  
10:42 am in News

Saber Interactive has released the World War Z update 1.28 patch this October 18, and this brings quite a number of changes to the multiplayer game. The Vanguard perks have been tweaked, as well as adjustments to weapons, first-person mode and more! Read on for the full patch notes.

World War Z Update 1.28 Patch Notes:

Here’s what the devs shared today:

That’s quite a lot of changes. If you haven’t bought the game yet, you might want to pick it up now, as the Aftermath bundle adds quite a bit of content. Speaking of which, our review can be read here, where we state, “All in all, WWZ: Aftermath is a solid value for the $40 asking price. There is plenty to keep you busy here, and I found the gameplay to be quite enjoyable. The progression is deep, and the various classes and skill trees give you meaningful ways to change things up each run. While the first-person perspective has been implemented well, it’s hard to turn down the added visibility that a third-person camera offers you, and a true ADS mechanic is sorely lacking. If you’re looking to shoot some zombies in the face with your friends without thinking too much about it though, Aftermath should be right up your alley.”
