The Fastest Way to Destroy Black Ops Cold War Scorestreaks Is With a Sniper?

With Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War shaking up how scorestreaks are earned and work, it’s inevitable that sooner or later, a ‘streak reward will be out on the field (or in the air) that could prove detrminental to your team’s success. While the game has different launchers to take these said ‘streaks out, it looks like the fastest way to do this is a sniper!

YouTuber CapunatorTV shows us how it’s done by using the M82 sniper rifle! Equipping the 21.8″ Cavalry Lancer barrel adds 500% vehicle damage which means that every streak in the game can be destroyed pretty easily! Don’t believe me? Watch the video below.

If you just want to see it in action, check out the Reddit video below where we see the M82 take out a Sentry Turret in two hits, a Care Package heli taken out in two hits and even a Chopper Gunner in what looks like six shots! The only challenge here is that you’ll need to lead in your shots, but once you get the hang of that, this beast can be your ‘streak buster of choice!

M82 is the Best Launcher

Treyarch might want to take a look at this, but maybe they intended it to be this way? Who knows. At least now you have an alternative to the launchers or LMG in taking out ‘streaks!

Marvel’s Avengers Devs Focusing on Creating New Enemy Encounters; More Hero Combo Moves Planned

While heroes just got the first major content drop for Marvel’s Avengers yesterday with the Kate Bishop Operation Taking Aim DLC, that’s not the only thing fans can look forward in the future, as the studio has more stuff planned in terms of enemies, and even hero combat combos!

The studio’s Lead Combat Designer Vince Napoli also conducted a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) regarding the game’s combat, and answered fan questions. In the Q&A, Napoli confirmed that new hero combo moves are on the way, as well as how the studio is focusing on new enemy encounters.

The short answer is: yes! The more…I guess you could say professional answer is that there are a lot of things that a team really wants to do that end up not lining up with schedules and releases, but the beauty of a game like this is that expanding the game is one of the core ideas. So, in addition to adding new characters with new skills and abilities, expanding the existing line up with new abilities, skills, perks, etc. has been – and still is – part of our update plans.

Thanks, really appreciate that! When it comes to the new enemies and bosses were working on, we’re definitely focusing all our efforts towards creating encounters that really offer something new and really justify why we would add them to get the game, rather than just creating variety for variety sake. I’d say that especially wtih some of the new bosses were working on, with Super Adaptoid really being just a starting point, we’re really focusing on incentivizing and rewarding meta strategies and really specific play styles, especially when it comes to the higher tier/multiplayer focused threats, if that makes sense. In terms of stuff that had to be shelved during development… actually I can’t really think of any — but really that’s because we focused on each of the characters very specifically. Everything we did for each Hero started with the core identity of the Hero, and it was something that was constantly considered as we worked on the feature – did it make sense for the character? Was this something that felt like Thor? etc. I would say that when a feature didnt really feel like it fit the character, that was one of the first things that would either get it cut or changed, so nothing really got far enough along that we would have wanted to use it, but we just didnt have a character for it… but I will say that on the other hand, when working with an IP as massive as Marvel’s Avengers, it’s hard not to consider how certain mechanics could apply to upcoming characters, and there were definitely dozens of times where certain design conversations would somehow magically warp into the specific design for a character we werent able to work on yet, and we’d eventually have to come back to reality and realize we should probably keep on track =/

Hopefully, we can get a preview of the new bosses the team is working on as well as some of the hero combat moves being cooked up.

Aside from yesterday’s patch, Crystal Dynamics has also released a small update today for the game, and here’s what it does.

What sort of hero combo moves do you want to see make it into the game? Let us know your thoughts down below in the comments.

PUBG Update 10.1 Patch Notes, Season 10 New Map, Features Revealed

Battle royale fans, PUBG Corp. is getting ready to release Season 10 of PUBG soon! The studio has today released the PUBG update 10.1 patch notes, as well as detals on the Season 10 new map, features and more! Stap in as this is going to be one bumpy ride!

PUBG Update 10.1 Patch Notes, New Map and Features:

NEW MAP: HAVEN

Welcome to Haven, an industrial island in the rust belt of America.

Here, players will take each other on in the dense, urban streets and rooftops but this haven is anything but safe. Players will be faced with a new threat during their matches, an enemy faction working against them. This faction, named Pillar, is heavily armed and is none too happy about you being on their turf. You’ll have to avoid the Pillar Scout Helicopter attempting to track and spot survivors from the sky. Those unlucky enough to be caught by its spotlight will need to move quickly to avoid the Pillar Tactical Truck as it closes in and attempts to quickly eliminate its target with bullets and fire. Finally, players will have to deal with Pillar Guards and Commanders. These soldiers are heavily armored, but those who manage to take them down can find powerful gear in the caches they guard.

Haven is a dense, 1×1 urban map and supports up to 32 players at a time in Duos or 1-Man Duos.

The Districts of Haven

Carbon Steelworks
At the center of Haven, we find a massive mill- the Carbon Steelworks Complex. Explore it’s fiery depths to secure precious loot, or use your parkour skills to explore the rooftop! This location offers gunplay at all ranges, but be sure to check those dark corners!


Coal Yards

An industrial wasteland: traverse material piles, climb cranes, and make sure you aren’t too noticeable under the florescent lights. The Coal Yards are a sniper’s paradise!

Industrial Zone
To the North, players will explore the Industrial Zone. Comprised of factories, chemical manufacturers, and storage facilities, players must navigate long range encounters in the field, and brutal closed quarter combat indoors.


Residential Zone

Explore the heart of Haven- the Residential Zone. Fight to the very top of our high-rise apartments, and use the tactical parachute to float down to the crowded streets below, and be careful- the Pillar Tactical patrols Main Street!

Overpass
Running through the center of Haven, the Overpass serves 2 functions. If you go under- you are shielded from the Scout Helicopter, but will encounter other players. If over- you are most likely alone, but a sitting target for the Scout! Choose wisely!

Docks
To the West, the well-lit docks provide generous cover, and traversal opportunities for players to take advantage of! And players who don’t mind a high risk/reward gameplay can use the old barges as a shortcut!

Seasonal Match

Haven is a Seasonal Map only available for the duration of Season 10.

  • Haven is only available during Season 10.
  • TPP & FPP.
  • 32 players each match.
    • No normal bots in the map acting as players, or included in the player count.
  • Duo Mode only, including 1-Man Duo.
  • Match length is shorter than other maps. You’ll earn around 70% of the BP compared to a full-length match on another map.
  • You can work towards Mastery, Survivor Pass and BattleStat progress in Haven but your stats aren’t recorded in the Career tab.

Pillar Guards and Commanders

Beware of the Pillar, an enemy faction offering an entirely new gameplay element not seen in existing Battlegrounds. Guards and Commanders are distinct looking opposition which protect certain areas of the map, working as an additional factor you have to contend with while fighting against other players to claim the Chicken Dinner.

  • Members of Pillar protect their respective areas and attack players on sight.
  • Pillar Guards hold basic equipment while Pillar Commanders hold top-tier equipment.
  • Once attacked, they send backup requests to Pillar Scout Helicopters which can then in turn alert the Pillar Tactical.
  • Spawns only in Haven.

Pillar Supply Cache

  • The Pillar Supply Cache replaces Care Packages, and require cache keys to be looted.
  • Players can gain cache keys from defeating Pillar Commanders.
  • Once the cache is opened, all players can approach the cache and loot it.
  • Spawns only in Haven.

Pillar Scout Helicopter

Pillar Tactical

  • This scary piece of equipment roams around Haven and attacks players on sight. The Pillar Tactical cannot be destroyed, so if you run into one, don’t try to fight it – just run away! This big beast even shoots fire bombs to attack players hiding behind cover in front of it.
  • Pillar Tactical communicates with other members of Pillar, responding to calls for backup and joining in engagements.
  • Spawns only in Haven.

Emergency Parachute

  • Emergency Parachutes can be found around Haven and used to quickly descend from high places and prevent fall damage. Don’t forget to deploy the parachute when making that daring rooftop escape, because they won’t deploy by themselves.
  • This is a single-use item which fills the belt slot of your inventory.
  • Spawns only in Haven.

Survivor Pass Season 10: Breakthrough

Survivor Pass: Breakthrough has all the gear you need to take on the mean streets of Haven. Featuring cool new looks based on lore characters and even the new enemy faction, you’ll have plenty of great rewards to unlock as you fight your way through all 100 levels of the pass. Breakthrough lasts about 3 months, so get started early and claim all your awesome new rewards!

  • Survivor Pass: Breakthrough begins December 16, 2020 upon completion of live server maintenance.
  • The pass ends on March 24 at 11am KST and you’ll have until maintenance on March 31st to claim any pass rewards.
  • Kill missions will only be completed when you get a kill during the match, not just from assisting with a kill credited to another player.
  • Accumulated kills or assists achieved during a match will be reflected in the kill or assist missions.

Mission Types

  • Survivor Pass: Breakthrough provides the following types of missions:
    • Daily missions
    • Weekly missions
    • Season missions: There are two types of Season missions for different weapon types.
      • SR missions
      • SG missions
    • Challenge missions: These missions can be completed by exploring every corner of the map.

Welcome to another new season of Ranked.

  • As usual, players will need to complete five placement matches at the start of the new season.

  • The Season 9 Leaderboards will be finalized.
    • Following the Live Server maintenance, the Season 9 leaderboards will be updated to the final version.

Ranked Mode Updates

  • The method used to calculate RP changes for Ranked matches has been reworked to improve the player experience and reduce fatigue.
    • The overall pace of gaining/losing RP has been greatly increased to reduce grind and based on performance compared to the player’s current Rank.
    • Players should now be able to more accurately predict how many games they would need to win or lose in a row in order to reach a given Rank.
  • Additional Team Kill Penalties
    • Team killing in ranked will now also result in a matchmaking delay penalty.
  • Added Erangel Ferry
    • The Erangel Ferry currently in Normal matches will be added to Ranked and Esports modes.

    • Season 10 Ranked Parachute
  • We will keep you updated with details through additional announcements, including the Ranked Season 10 End and Rewards announcement as we get deeper into Season 10.

Matchmaking

Matchmaking Changes

PUBG has several different game modes and two perspectives, this means there are lots of queues which need to be filled with players. Unfortunately, this can cause players to be spread too thin in some regions and cause lengthy matchmaking times and an otherwise poor experience.

Since the induction of Solo Ranked mode, we’ve been heavily monitoring the health of Ranked matchmaking queues specifically in each region and have decided to make some changes which we believe will have a positive impact on the overall health of Ranked long-term. We completely understand the removal of a queue you play can be very frustrating and we apologize if that is the case for you.

We’re continuingly looking at ways to improve your Ranked experience and we’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

The following queues will be available for Season 10:

AS
FPP: Solo/Duo/Squad, Ranked Squad
TPP: Solo/Duo/Squad, Ranked Solo/Squad

KRJP
FPP: Solo/Duo/Squad
TPP: Solo/Duo/Squad, Ranked Solo/Squad

SEA
FPP: Solo/Duo/Squad, Ranked Squad

Compatible PS5 Monitors That Can Support 120fps – Updated August 2022 Edition

In the market for a new gaming monitor that supports 120fps (frames-per-second) and works on the latest next-gen console, the PS5? Well this piece of helpful info for compatible PS5 monitors might be what you’re looking for, as it compiles a list of currently supported monitors for Sony’s next-gen console.

Reddit user Frosting_Mundane has collaborated (after first list deleted) a list of currently confirmed monitors that support 120FPS/HZ mode in supported games. Down below you’ll find the current full list (will be updated over time) of supported monitors. As a PSA, for those wondering the monitor DOES NOT need HDMI 2.1 support to be able to run titles at 120FPS. If your monitor does not have 2.1 HDMI support but can output 120fps and up, then the system should still be able to accept performance mode, though only at 1080P. You may also have to turn off freesync or adaptive sync via monitor settings. If you want to run games at native/dynamic 4K with 120fps enabled, then you will need to have a monitor with 2.1 HDMI support. 

Also, if you are someone who is looking at this list because you own a Xbox Series X or S, these monitors should work with the console though require verification. Since the system has an option for force 120fps over HDMI, most monitors should work regardless. The PS5 in it’s current state seems to be having some compatibility issues with certain monitors. 

Current list of games on PS5 that support 120fps and/or 120Hz August 2022

  • Apex Legends
  • Borderlands 3 – Supports 120 FPS in ‘Performance Mode’
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (our analysis of 120fps mode) – Supports 120 FPS at 1080p – Note, the option may be grayed out even after enabling performance mode. As long as it says “enabled” you will be fine. Unlike Destiny, which can be forced on or off, Cold War automatically toggles the option. 
  • Call of Duty: Vanguard
  • Call of Duty: Warzone – Requires HDMI 2.1 as 120FPS comes via backwards compatibility. No native PS5 version is available. 
  • Cyber Shadow
  • Destiny 2 – Supports 120FPS at 1080p in Crucible matches
  • Devil May Cry V: Special Edition – Supports 120FPS at 1080p
  • Dirt 5 – Supports 120 FPS at 1080p
  • Doom Eternal 
  • F1 2021
  • F1 2022
  • Fortnite – Supports 120fps with native PS5 port
  • Ghostrunner
  • Ghostwire Tokyo – Can hit up to 120fps in High Frame-Rate mode, though not recommended until VRR support comes to PS5. 
  • Jumanji: The Video Game
  • Knockout City
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered – Supports 120Hz and VRR for boosted FPS
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – Supports 120Hz and VRR for boosted FPS
  • Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom – Supports 120fps at native 4K with HDMI 2.1 support
  • Nioh Collection – Both Nioh 1, Nioh 2 and DLC for both games supports 120 FPS at 1080p
  • OlliOllie World
  • Quake
  • Rainbow Six Siege – Supports 120 FPS at 1080p, 4K with HDMI 2.1 support
  • Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart – Supports 120Hz displays with boosted FPS
  • Resident Evil 2 Remake
  • Resident Evil 3 Remake
  • Resident Evil 7
  • Rocket League
  • Rogue Company Supports 120FPS at a dynamic 4K resolution (HDMI 2.1 support, 1080P otherwise) with the native PS5 port
  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
  • The Touryst
  • Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
  • WRC 9 – Supports 120 FPS in ‘Performance Mode’

What to do prior to testing out 120fps

Per Reddit user, tropicalthunder922, if you are having troubles with getting 120fps to work with one of the monitors on this list, be sure that the following settings are enabled/disabled and the game you are playing supports said fps. 

  • Did you put your PS5 into performance mode?
  • Did you use the HDMI cable, that came with the PS5?
  • Did you start a game, that supports 120hz, like Fortnite or COD Black Ops (option grayed out but says enabled)?
  • Did you try disable/enable Freesync/Adaptive Sync

Current list of confirmed monitors that support 120fps on PS5.

Useful link: MSI has published a guide on how to enable 120FPS on both PS5 and Xbox Series X on their supported FHD monitors that you can read here: MSI 120fps PS5 monitor support

This list will be updated overtime as more monitors are tested. List last updated on 04/23/2022.

NOTE: This list is compiled from users who have tested and verified the monitors below. Unfortunately we cannot confirm whether they work or not ourselves as the list is quiet large and we simply do not have the resources to do so. If there is a monitor you are interested here, PLEASE DO ADDITIONAL RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING.

There also seems to be an issue with some monitors supporting 144hz due to how the PS5 works, sometimes the handshake between the monitor and console will fail, resulting in just 60fps support. Sony will need to release a console update in order to force 120fps like the Series X and S does. 

UPDATE: With the latest PS5 update (August 14) now adding forced 120FPS, this list should be expanded on largely as displays that had issues previously are now being confirmed as working. Please stay-tuned as we compile a new list.

List last updated on 4/23/2022 with confirmation links provided. 

Note, all monitors on this list have been reported as working by users. We have added an additional link for confirmation to some monitors, but if it is on the list it has been verified by other users prior.

Marvel’s Avengers Update 1.18 December 9 Sneaks Out (Update)

Following yesterday’s big Marvel’s Avengers patch that saw the introduction of Kate Bishop into the roster, Crystal Dynamics has released the Marvel’s Avengers update 1.18 December 9 patch, which we assume is for bug fixes and the like.

Marvel’s Avengers Update 1.18 December 9 Patch Notes:

Update: Crystal Dynamics has finally released the official changelog! It’s a short one too!

Patch V1.4.0a was published earlier today and included three fixes:

Resolved several out of memory crash issues.
NPC now exits narrative at the proper time.
HKate Bishop’s Challenge Card activation UI flow improved.

Crystal Dynamics has not yet commented on today’s update, here’s what the Steam page of the game states as new for today:

09-12-2020 – Updated to build V1.4.0.17 with the following changes:

  • High Contrast Mode: Available in the settings menu!
  • Minor stability fixes.

In addition to that, there was an issue with Kate Bishop and Mega Hive missions that prevented exotic gear to be rewarded.

Due to an issue with Mega Hives not rewarding Exotic gear when playing as Kate Bishop, we advise playing a Hero other than Kate if you plan to complete the Mega Hive this week before we fix this bug in the next patch. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Lastly, yesterday’s patch also listed a few known issues and workaround as well:
  • Potential crash during Quinjet loading on Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles after playing repeated missions as Kate Bishop. We are already working on a fix to be implemented in the near future.
  • Attempting to purchase Kate’s Challenge Card without the necessary Credits brings up an error message. Players will need to click on the Credit icon to purchase the Credits they need.
  • Choosing to directly do Kate’s Operation rather than starting it from Avengers Initiative puts players in a state where they cannot interact with vendors aboard the helicarrier. This can be fixed by launching Avengers Initiative after completing Kate’s HARM Training.

Once we know more details regarding today’s update, we’ll let our readers know.

Update: We’ve updated the post to reflect the new patch notes Crystal Dynamics has released.

Warframe Update 1.94 December 9 Brings Deimos: Arcana (PS5 01.002.000)

Digital Extremes has released the Warframe update 1.94 December 9 patch (PS5 version 01.002.000), which brings Deimos Arcana to consoles! According to Digital Extremes this patch for console includes everything from PC hotfix 29.2.2 to 29.5.5, and cherry picked additional changes and fixes, which are all listed in the patch notes below.

This is the last content drop for consoles this 2020, and the studio has released a message for that as well.

Warframe Update 1.94 December 9 (PS5 01.002.000) Patch Notes:

Wrapping up 2020 on Consoles!

We are officially closing out this year of updates on consoles with Deimos: Arcana! With Cert deadlines and studio holiday closures this is our final update of 2020 on PlayStation. It comes after many long months of tirelessly working through weird and uncomfortable conditions. We thank you for sticking by us through the uncertainties and speed bumps that work from home presented us with.

All that to say that we’re delighted to bring you an update chock full of Deimos content to hunker down with over the holidays on the now 6 (!!) console platforms we support – welcome PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Tenno!

We aren’t going dark just yet though! We will be using the next couple of weeks to hotfix whatever issues we can outside of the Cert process, so you might see Red Text make an appearance before we head off on our Holiday break. But that’s not all for 2020! There will also be some ‘stocking stuffers’ in your Navigation panel, Tenno. Keep an eye out for special Holiday Alerts and a small Tennobaum celebration in the last weeks of December!

So get your cookies and greedy milk ready for some end of year cheer, Tenno! And we’ll see you in the new year. Learn more about our 2021 plans here!

Now let’s get into Deimos: Arcana: Update 29.5.5!

Since the initial Heart of Deimos release, you’ve delved into the putrid hills and caverns of the Cambion Drift and found a familiar place with the Entrati. As Deimos continues to fester within the Origin System, its insides twist and turn to expose new growth and life!

In this update, Deimos: Arcana uproots newly unearthed Isolation Vaults in The Underground of the Cambion Drift. The new Necramech, Bonewidow, with sword wielding weaponry awaits you in these unexplored rancid tunnels.

Prepare your Tranq Rifle and aim strong, the Undazoa and Nexifera have been spotted occupying the rotting landscape of the Cambion Drift. Remember to look both ways before crossing the Exocrine; the new Deimos Mitosid can attack at any angle!

Arm yourself with a slew of Infested weapons, build new Infested Kitguns, shatter enemies with the Gara Kaleida Collection, and much more with Deimos: Arcana!

General Console Notes:

  • The New Advanced Reverb Beta option that was released on PC with Deimos: Arcana is not available on consoles at this time. More work is required to bring this new audio option for each platform. Stay tuned!
  • Update on HDR support: The team is still working on HDR! We don’t want to rush anything, so they will continue to work on it in the new year.

Controller Specific Additions, Changes, and Fixes:

  • Added game settings for tweaking deadzone values and other input behaviour for controller analog sticks. Each analog stick now has 3 settings. This should improve the accuracy for movement controls in particular, which previously used a square deadzone, resulting in inconsistent mapping for diagonal inputs. Learn more about deadzone values here: https://www.warframe.com/gamepad
    f070eb3a21f2a77201440b3ebf37afaf.png
  • Added a game setting to use the legacy deadzone remapping when controlling look/aim input using the controller analog sticks.
  • Increased default analog stick deadzones values to 20%. The value was previously 15% only for look/aim inputs, but then was changed to 15% for all analog stick inputs, but this introduced some drift for certain players.
  • Changed the default Necramech ramming and hovering controller bindings to crouch for ramming, and aim for hovering.
    • Player feedback provided insight that pressing and holding hover with the controller removed the ability to aim with the right stick. This issue made air combat difficult on controllers and restricted Necramech gameplay to be on the ground. Please let us know how this change feels!
  • Fixed Chat repeatedly opening and closing if you slowly press down on the left trigger of a controller.
  • Fixed a loss of functionality if you open the Pause Menu with the controller and Fast Travel to a vendor while a Profit-Taker Heist Bounty is counting down.
    • Pausing during the countdown is no longer possible.
  • Fixed several issues caused by opening up the pause menu during the New War cinematic from the Codex when using a controller.
  • Fixed changing the controller icon set to Nintendo Switch in options not updating the icons for customizing the controller.
  • Fixed being unable to access the “INCOMPLETE” filter at the Helminth using the LB/RB buttons, as reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1231253-controller-bumpers-lbrb-do-not-change-between-helminth-all-and-incomplete-filters/
  • Fixed controllers sometimes canceling Emotes just as they had started.
  • Fixed the emoticon prompt remaining on the screen once the Chat window has been closed when using a controller.
  • Fixed the Necramech ability UI menu not appearing in the HUD when using a controller.
  • Fixed left trigger no longer opening Chat with controller after you save controller bindings once.

PlayStation (PS4 + PS5) Specific Notes:

  • Updated icon to be platform agnostic across PS4 and PS5.
    cbfef41bcba35ba0983dc860abcc5af5.png
  • Fixed a few cases where sounds or music would stop and then fail to start up again.
  • Fixed particle FX (clouds, fog, etc.) appearing and rendering with harsh edges and lines.
  • Fixed certain graphical changes made in Options (notably “glare”) causing most of the game to appear completely white out, as reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1237959-issue-with-depth-of-fieldglare-ps5/

PS5 Specific Notes: 

  • All previously unlocked Trophies on PS4 will auto-unlock on your PS5 once Deimos Arcana has been downloaded.
    • We launched on PS5 with the requirement that previously unlocked Trophies on PS4 would have to be completed again. Cumulative trophies (like “Shield Saver – Deflect 1000 Bullets with Melee Weapons”) transferred over at 99% completion, and in order to fully unlock again you’d have to “deflect 1 Bullet with Melee Weapons”. This was not ideal, as for many other Trophies (such as “Some Assembly Required – Assemble a Railjack) this condition was not achievable. Meaning certain Trophies were impossible to unlock again. So we dug a bit deeper into the Trophy data system and were able to find a solution. Now, any previously unlocked Trophies on PS4 will be automatically unlocked on PS5. 
  • Fixed ‘Ludicrous’ under GPU Particles missing in the Display Options.

NEW DEIMOS ISOLATION VAULT BOUNTIES:
The Cambion Drift Underground you’ve come to recognize swells with new areas to discover.

Mother has 3 new Isolation Vault Bounties to complete! These new Isolation Vault Bounties become available after completing the initial Isolation Vault tier, with the respective Mother then offering the new Vault Bounty. As you unlock these new Vault Bounties, the difficulty will increase to match the prerequisite Isolation Vault and rewards will differ per Bounty.

In addition, 4 new Entrati Vault ruins await you in Isolation Vault Bounties!

General Isolation Vault Changes:

  • Removed the Vome/Fass cycle reset on the Isolation Vault Bounties tiers.
    • Oftentimes the Vome/Fass cycle reset during an Isolation Vault Bounty was understandably confusing, for new players especially, and was reported as more of a “bug” than a feature – so we’ve removed its effect on Isolation Vault Bounty tiers! Also, with the addition of the new Isolation Vault Bounties, the time it may take squads/solo players to complete them all could exceed the Vome/Fass cycles.
  • Increased the speed of Loid/Otak in the Isolation Vault!
  • Reduced Loid/Otak’s base Health by 37.5% to compensate for the speed increase.
    • The slow speed of Loid/Otak was common feedback to be addressed, but increasing the speed made their journey too easy as enemies barely put a scratch into them as they attempted to catch up.
  • Changed Otak/Loids defend HUD marker to the standard yellow version to help differentiate between Allies and enemies.
  • Adjusted Loid/Otaks path to create a more evenly spaced consistent length path to avoid a long slow return to the Vault when all 4 Generators are activated, or when clusters of Generators are very close together.
  • Adjusted Isolation Vault Transmission flow at the very start to speed things up a bit and get into the phases a little faster.
  • Scintillants have a chance to respawn in Isolation Vault Bounties.
    • The new Isolation Vault Bounties bring you back through the previously completed Vaults and further into the Underground. Having Scintillant respawn grants another kick at the can even if Scintillant was already found in a Vault.
  • Esophages in Isolation Vault Bounties now have a press and hold context action to avoid accidentally interacting, and thus having to go all the way back down to do the Vault Generators.
  • Rebalanced enemy Voidrig (and the upcoming Bonewidow) Isolation Vault fights for a more fair experience that embraces the precedent set with Kuva Liches:
    • *Enemy Voidrig & Bonewidow Necramechs now have the ‘Lich’ treatment with vulnerability to Status Effects, meaning you can now apply Status Effects to Necramechs! Additionally, certain damage immunities and diminishing returns for Warframe abilities have been added to balance this out.
    • The damage immunities apply to movement abilities, such as Banshee’s Sonic Boom, to prevent yeeting the Necramech into the sun. The diminishing returns are present to also prevent 1HKOs – on par with Kuva Liches.
  • Increased the cooldown time when the Voidrig (and Bonewidow) cast their invulnerability shield while in their “armless” phase.
    • Necramechs are intended to have shorter cooldowns while missing both arms. The cooldown reduction was too high however and you’d often see Voidrig Necramechs recasting their shield within seconds!
  • Added an objective marker to the Bait Device if your Bait throw missed the monster-door.

NEW ISOLATION VAULT ENCOUNTERS:

New Isolation Vault Bounties also have 3 new encounter types within the Bounty!

Deimos Delicacies!
Daughter has tasked you to escort/protect a friendly POLYP-HOG JUGGERNAUT that is searching for Fungal Polyps! But we all know what happens when someone bothers us while we’re eating…

Infested Research!
Curious behaviors have been observed of the Infested interacting with the organic fluids in the underground caves. Subvert the fluid extraction device and throw it back at them to collect samples!

Cracks in Deimos!
There is a mysterious mist wafting throughout the area, driving the creatures within mad! Negate the effects of the mist with the Emitter Unit and seal the mist fissures before the creature’s attempt to open the fissures.

NEW NECRAMECH – BONEWIDOW:
This fearsome Necramech, fashioned in honor of the Entrati matriarch, is a robust front-line fighter. Favoring armor and health over shield strength, Bonewidow can grab and hurl enemies, deploy a heavy shield for personal defense, and cleave through opposing ranks with a massive warblade.

  • Bonewidow comes with 3 Polarity slots, Vazarin/Vazarin/Madurai!

Abilities:
The Bonewidow abilities changes from PC Hotfix 29.5.6 are live with this update, expand the spoilers below to read details! Read the full dev workshop here. 

MEATHOOK: 

An important raised issue with Bonewidow is being unable to regenerate Health, as Bonewidow is geared towards the more “tankier” focused Necramech in comparison to Voidrig. This change to Meathook aims to tackle that head on. 

  • Held enemies will lose Health over time, the Health lost will be transferred into Bonewidow. Held enemies will also have Damage Over Time applied to them.
    • Drain speed and % of Health transferred can be upgradable.
  • Improved Meathook grab to feel sharper and more consistent.
  • We found that the animation was sliding forward before the grab trigger was enabled, so if the AI was close, you would slide past before the grab would ever engage.

SHIELD MAIDEN: 

  • Damage Reflection added to the shield, incoming blocked damage will be reflected back at the target.
    • Damage Reflection can be upgraded with level and Strength Mods.
  • Meleeing with Shield Maiden will give you access to the Shield Bash you get while using Exalted Ironbride.

FIRING LINE:

Firing Line needs to work as a better set up to let Exalted Ironbride shred enemies, and we’ve ensured it’s casting leads to better set up opportunities with these changes:

  • Added the Lifted Status to enemies hit for 5 seconds (upgradeable by Mods).
  • 1.5x Damage multiplier on Lifted enemies.

EXALTED IRONBRIDE: 

  • Radial ragdoll added to 3rd melee strike with the ability to Critical hit – but not full knock back as to keep enemies contained within striking distance.
  • Exalted Ironbride now has a slight aim assist that will help prevent over swing.

 Shield Bash

The Shield Bash has been expanded to work whenever you have a Shield equipped, not just when you have a Sword and Shield!

  • Gun/Shield: The melee Button
  • Sword/Shield: The weapon fire button
  • Added Lift Status to Shield Bash.

General:

  • Truncated Bonewidow jump Melee strikes by 1 second to improve responsiveness.

MEATHOOK
Skewer and hold a target. Use again to hurl the victim damaging them and anyone near the impact site.

SHIELD MAIDEN
Raise Bonewidow’s shield to block incoming forward damage.

FIRING LINE
Sweep surrounding enemies into the line of fire with a force beam.

EXALTED IRONBRIDE
Summon a devastating exalted blade.

*Acquire the Bonewidow Blueprint and the required parts from Loid for Necraloid Standing!

MORGHA
Blast through enemies with a double-barreled shot of energized slugs. This siphons their life essence which is then used to generate the secondary fire’s massive air-burst mortar. The ancient Entrati weapon was built for Necramechs but also functions as an Archgun.

*Acquire the Morgha Blueprint and the required parts from Loid for Necraloid Standing!

Loid has come into possession of the Ayatan Kitha Sculpture! Struck to commemorate the Entrati family’s power and prestige, as well as safeguarding their memories of one another.

DEIMOS QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES:
Tenno have spent a lot of time with the Entrati family, and have shared valuable insights on how to improve their systems! Deimos Arcana brings many sought after quality-of-life improvements:

  • Vome/Fass time indicators now appear when viewing the map inside the Necralisk hub!
    • Cetus and Fortuna have been given the same treatment. 5c698a43da7647fe3b355cef5fd3384b.png
  • The mining drop rate of Thaumica has been doubled! We’ve also Reduced the chance of getting Namalon while Mining in the Cambion Drift so that the chance of getting Thaumica is significantly increased.
    • Both Necrathene and Thaumica were similarly rare, but Thaumic Distillate is used in a wider variety of Blueprints, so expect to see it appear more often from yellow mineral deposits.
  • Son’s Conservation tasks have been made more rewarding and accessible! There are two main factors to this change:
    • Higher quality Conservation captures will now provide better rewards, as they do in our other Free Roam landscapes. Scoring a “Good” capture will now provide 2 animal capture Tags instead of 1, and “Perfect” captures will award 3 Tags!
    • Son’s Token exchange has been reorganized, based on player inventory statistics. Smaller offerings will require more commonly found creatures, and larger offerings with more Tokens will require creatures that are harder to come by.
  • Necramechs will now increase max level by 2 for each Forma applied, up to Rank 40!
    • With twelve Mod slots to fill, borrowing the Polarity mechanics introduced with the Paracesis made perfect sense. This change also prompted a discussion to address the mission restrictions with Necramech leveling (Free Roam only). As a result, we’ve increased the Shared Affinity Range in Free Roam missions (see below for more details). We still have plans to allow deployable Necramech’s in normal mission modes at a later date – stay tuned!
  • If you have already reached Rank 30 on your Necramech prior to this update, you will retain the full Mastery Points for it. You are still free to level it to Rank 40 to unlock further Mod slots!
  • Enabled Shield-Gating for summoned Necramechs! You’ll now experience the brief invulnerability period when your Necramech Shield breaks.
  • Necramech summoning is now more forgiving on the Cambion Drift. You should experience less ‘Invalid Launch Point’ on slopes, inclines, etc.
  • Enemy Voidrig Necramech Storm Shroud ability no longer provides immunity, but instead provides damage reduction for the duration of the buff.
  • Universal Medallions can now be traded in the Necralisk at Grandmother for Entrati Standing and Loid for Necraloid Standing.
  • The Latrox Une Bounty mission has received a balance pass to address both the length this mission takes and the Bonus being too challenging compared to others:
    • Doubled the Drone Shields Health.
    • The Drone Shield now regenerates after being emptied.
    • Samples now drop at a faster rate.
    • Less samples are required to complete the mission.
  • Cambion Drift Excavation Changes & Fixes:
    • Endless Excavation now requires fewer Excavators to be cleared in the Endless Bounty variant for a full squad (from 5 to 3). This makes each round a little quicker and allows for enemy escalation to increase a little faster.
    • Added 5s invulnerability period to Excavators when deployed.
    • Increased time between Excavator deployments from 3 to 5s and added an extra 3s on the first Excavator to give players more time to prepare for the encounter.
    • Fixed reward banners for Endless Bounties not showing the correct bonus icon for previous stages.
    • Fixed some bad Excavator placements in the Cambion Drift.
    • Fixed Excavation arrival transmission not playing.
  • You’ll now be placed just outside the Necralisk gate upon loading into the Cambion Drift from the Star Chart. We found that due to spawning so far away from the Necralisk was resulting in an inability to join Cambion Drift sessions from the Star chart.

FREE ROAM SHARED AFFINITY CHANGE:
We’ve increased the Shared Affinity Range in Free Roam missions from 50 meters to 250 meters! When implementing the change to make Necramech’s level up to 40, it prompted the conversation of Necramech leveling and its restriction to Free Roam missions. With the addition of Bonewidow, it felt appropriate to dial the Shared Affinity Range up for these much larger tilesets. While it’s always ideal to stick together, we hope the 250 meter range allows you to both level up your Necramech faster and venture a bit farther in the landscape.

FISHING & CONSERVATION:
Undazoa and Nexifera now prowl across Deimos. Help Son study these new species of Infested wildlife!

36d0d0d98ce087356d5a3b3a5ac70375.png

UNDAZOA
These peculiar creatures inhabit the exocrine, consuming contaminants and depositing their eggs. They will not instigate an attack, but if you provoke an Undazoa, be wary of each variant’s unique defense.

*Acquire the Undazoa Echo-Lure and Pheromone Gland from Son’s Offerings!

NEXIFERA
These heavy creatures occupy caves, poised to drop from the ceiling onto unassuming victims. Each variant’s landing has a unique effect. Be quick if you hope to catch a Nexifera before it ascends! They will burrow into the ceiling to make a quick escape. Only one Nexifera spawns at a time and they don’t have Vome/Fass restrictions like some of the other animal variants.

*Similar to Velocipods, the Nexifera is an ambient encounter creature you can find out in the Cambion Drift.

The Endocrine are home to 2 new species of Fish! Find the elusive Flagellocanth and Lobotriscid to bring back to Daughter!

FLAGELLOCANTH
These specimens were originally parasites, breeding inside the wyrm-guts of Fass and scattered across Deimos in the debris of his explosive demise. They are drawn to his light. Processed Fass Residue is required to attract the Flagellocanth!

LOBOTRISCID
A muscular, three-tailed fish, the Lobotriscid trawls through Exocrine vapor across the surface of Deimos when Vome is dominant.
FISHING & CONSERVATION CHANGES & FIXES:

  • Enabled Imprinting and breeding for Predasites and Vulpaphyla.
    • Mutagens and Antigens are inherited through breeding, allowing pets to stack their benefits.
    • Predasites and Vulpaphyla can only be named when Gilded, so naming after hatching is skipped.
    • Predasites and Vulpaphyla can not be cross bred with non-modular pets.
    • Imprints of Predasites and Vulpaphyla can only be taken when the pet is Gilded.
  • Disabled Conservation Tranq and Track during the Heart of Deimos quest.
    • When it was enabled you wouldn’t have been able to catch anything or see anything on map, but there was a chance to just happen across a start point.
  • Companion Predasites and Vulpaphylas now have their own description, seperate from the wild ones in the Cambion Drift.
  • Improvements to trails to address some of the more drastic upwards jumps required to follow the path.
  • A Son Transmission will now play when you fail to mimic an animal with your Echo Lure.
  • Made a bunch of updates to Lure sounds and mix effects. Added more variations to scat burst sound (yum). Also made adjustments to transmission timing.
  • Increased the number of Cryptilex spawned at Call Points from 1 to 2-4.
  • Expanded number of available call points in the Magna, Infested Seraglio, Undulatum, and Albrechts Prospect areas.
  • Added height arrow indicators to Conservation markers.
    • This reduces the number of call points that end up in caves. For the ones that do spawn in caves, the height arrow indicator should relieve that confusion.
  • Added debuffs to Deimos animals when they’re Wounded by Infested and reduced max Health on wild Predasites and Vulpaphylas so you’re not waiting around for Infested to wound the animals.
  • Fixed losing all control functions for a short period of time after throwing a Fishing Spear – most commonly experienced in Cambion Drift.
  • Fixed Cryptilexes missing their Conservation drone pickup animation, which created an animation pop after capturing.
  • Fixed Conservation start points not regenerating on Deimos which would prevent certain encounters from spawning.
  • Fixed some Conservation call points spawning under the Endocrine.
  • Fixed ambient spawns only spawning common fish and ignoring bait (fishing with the Spear out still worked as intended).
  • Fixed Fishing after landscape time change not altering obtainable fish.

GENERAL DEIMOS CHANGES:

  • *Necramechs (Bonewidow and Voidrig) now have a built-in vacuum!
  • Necralisk Fast Travel UI now displays the respective Token for each Entrati member.
  • Entrati Tokens you don’t have the required resources for will now appear greyed out in each Entrati member’s Token acquisition menu. Saving you from having to hover and view each Token individually to see if you have the resources needed.
  • Added “Mother Tokens” next to the Token icon itself in Mother’s ‘Reward Details’ screen.
    09b29a595765df70e555f494c23e924a.jpg
  • Added an Orokin Matrix icon next to Loid’s Fast Travel option and his dialogue options in the Necralisk.
  • Added “Requirements Met” category to the Necralisk vendors. Selecting this category will sort wares based on if you have the necessities to purchase it.
  • Added “Expiry” and “Tokens” filters to the Necralisk vendors.
    • “Expiry” sorts Tokens by remaining time until they expire. Tokens expiring sooner will be sorted at the top of the list.
    • “Tokens” sorts Tokens by the amount in one purchase. In other words, the higher the number of Tokens in a single purchase the higher it will appear in the list.
  • Added more idle Otak lines in the Necralisk when interacting with him.
  • Added another race node to the Cambion Drift Abyssal Skim race to lead the player better.
  • Increased the Deimos Juggernaut variants Affinity gain to 500.
    • This was done to be more consistent with the Deimos Saxum variants.
  • Made slight updates to Son’s skin textures and fixed neck seam issues.
  • Made slight revisions to Daughter’s textures to better match her head to her body.
  • Enemies in the Cambion Drift will now have a blue energy FX applied to their weapons when Vome is alive and wyrming around.
  • Added Deimos Leapers and Deimos Conservation animals to the Codex.
  • Made improvements to the enemy pathing in tight underground areas in the Cambion Drift.
  • Changed the number of Obelisks that appear in the Cambion Drift from 6 to 5.
    • With the introduction of the newest Bounties, we reviewed Obelisk spawn sites and saw that they were occupying vacant sites that we felt would be better used for new Bounty objectives! These sites were also difficult for enemies to maneuver and access, and they would often get stuck in the Obelisk shards.

 

NEW INFESTED WEAPONRY:

GLAIVES REVISITED:

Many of these changes focus on enhancing the unique gameplay options that a Glaive can offer. We’ll start simple with throwing mechanics, and work our way up:

Heavy Attack (aka Glaive detonation) will now do more damage, more consistently! Damage numbers have been increased, and the area-of-effect falloff has been removed, meaning max damage no matter what part of the explosion hits an enemy. This should help encourage use of Glaives’ unique detonation functionality; another option to compliment swinging and throwing the weapon, allowing for massive bursts of damage when needed.

“Hold throw” mechanics now apply in Equipped Melee mode! When we added the ability to wield a Glaive alongside any one-handed secondary, we introduced a new system for throwing Glaives that was quicker and more intuitive. This modern system for both ground and air throwing has been applied to pure melee mode, making Glaives consistent no matter how they are used.

In “Glaive + Gun” mode, players must use the melee button to detonate the Glaive while in flight. With only the Glaive in hand, the alt fire button is no longer reserved for your secondary weapon, which allows for added flexibility – press alt fire for a Heavy Attack detonation, or tap melee for a simple recall. Alt Fire will Heavy Attack at any point during a Glaive’s flight. Before, when a Glaive auto recalled after reaching its distance limit, it could not be detonated during its return.

Glaive throws can now be performed while sliding! Tap to perform a regular spin attack, or hold to throw. An added level of flexibility to the Glaive playstyle.

Throw melee inputs can be “queued up”, one after the other! Also known as “buffering”, this means if you are holding a melee input as the Glaive returns to your hand, you will start charging another throw as soon as possible. With this change, a smooth gameflow emerges: throw a Glaive, hold melee as it returns, catch, release, repeat.

Glaives can now be thrown multiple times in a single jump! Limitations to this type of throw have been removed to allow more chained throws.

With all of these improvements, Glaive throwing and detonating should become a more prominent and viable way to use these weapons. But we’re only getting started!

Another feature that makes Glaives stand out from other melee weapons, is their ability to be wielded alongside a one-handed secondary. This “Glaive + Gun” mode is also getting a couple upgrades:

Melee stance combos are now available in Glaive + Gun mode! Using a weapon combo will no longer restrict your melee options and movement, making Glaives even more deadly.

Glaive + Gun mode now utilizes melee auto blocking when not aiming or firing! This feature introduced in recent melee system updates will now also apply to the weapon combo mode, offering the benefits of actively equipped melee while still keeping your secondary at the ready.

With all these changes combined, we hope Glaive gameplay will feel more fluid, fun and unique. To encourage exploration of these new mechanics, we are also making changes to Glaive Modding options, improving old Mods and introducing new choices for players to try!

Glaive Mod Power Throw has been given respective buffs:

  • Increased Punch Through from 0.6 to 2m.

    • +2m Punch Through. On Consecutive Throw: +100% Throw Damage (up to maximum 3 stacks)

  • Added 60% projectile speed.

This Mod will now be great for players who embrace the “catch and release” playstyle introduced by the changes to melee input queueing.

We also have two new Mods to help modify your playstyle even further…

Volatile Rebound: 100% Chance to explode on Bounce (Disables Punch Through).

Volatile Quick Return: -4 Bounce. +3% Blast Radius. 100% chance to explode on Bounce (disables Punch Through).

Unlike a Heavy Attack, the explosions from these Mods do NOT consume your combo counter. Equip Volatile Rebound to inflict as much chaos as possible from a single throw, or Volatile Quick Return for rapid targeted strikes.

*Find the Volatile Rebound and Volatile Quick Return Mods from Cambion Drift Deimos enemies!

Below are some specific changes per weapon from the above changes:

Cerata

  • Added guaranteed Toxin proc on Heavy Attack Detonation.

  • Increased Critical Damage from 2.2 to 2.3x of throw.

  • Reduced AoE fall off from 50% to 30%.

Falcor

  • Added guaranteed Electricity proc to Heavy Attack Detonation.

  • Reduced AoE fall off from 50% to 40%.

Glaive

  • Quick Throws now perform the Hover Attack.

Pathocyst

  • Added guaranteed Viral proc to Heavy Attack Detonation.

  • Reduced Max self CC from Knocked Down to Stagger.

Xoris

  • Added guaranteed Electricity proc to Heavy Attack Detonation.

 

Wolf Sledge

  • Wolf Sledge now explodes on impact when Thrown.

Glaive specific stat display changes:

  • Removed ‘Damage’ value from Heavy Attack since this value is no longer used.

  • ‘Radial Attack’ has been renamed to ‘Bounce Attack’.

    • This stat is only shown when the weapon is equipped with a mod that has the chance to explode on bounce qualifier (ie. the new Glaive mods Volatile Rebound and Volatile Quick Return!) 

  • Added a stat for % chance to explode on bounce.

  • Added ‘Heavy Radial Attack’ stat to both Throw and Charge Throw categories.

XAKU ROUND 2 CHANGES & FIXES:
We’ve been keeping tabs on the usual feedback channels to read and review your takes on Xaku in their updated form. We have been pleased to see that generally these changes have been enjoyed thus far, and that we’ve taken a step in the right direction. But as many have expressed, and to which we have found ourselves agreeing, our work is not done yet on this Community Warframe!

So here we are with a second round of changes based on the most standout and widely discussed points we saw strewn across the feedback hubs. Whether it’s iterating on Round 1 or offering new insight on Xaku’s abilities, we thank you for sharing!

General Xaku Changes:

  • Xaku’s “The Lost” ability description will now include descriptions of “Accuse”, “Deny”, and “Gaze” within it.

Xata’s Whisper (Void Status Effect):

  • Void damage’s Status Effect will now redirect projectiles to the body part it proc’d on.
    • How it will work: If you shoot at an enemy’s head with Xata’s Whisper enabled and proc, the bubble will redirect all projectiles to the head. If you shoot at the feet, it’ll be redirected to the feet, etc.! It is however possible that even if you proc on the head but then shoot at the lower part of the bubble it might hit the body on the way up to being redirected to the head.
    • This is a game wide change to Void Status Effect! Now that we have a Warframe that can harness Void damage in a single cast, it has brought much focus to and discussion around its Status Effect. For those of you who are unfamiliar, in its current state it creates a bullet attractor bubble that directs all projectiles to the center of the enemy’s torso regardless of where it procs. Since Xata’s Whisper applies Void damage to all of their weapons, it was increasingly noticeable to Xaku players that the bubble’s current redirecting position prevents any attempt at enemy headshots until its duration expires. This is one of the main reasons for this change. Headshot disruption ultimately limits your damage output by removing the opportunity for headshot multipliers while it is active. Now, you will be able to use your headshotting skills to greater benefit, while also having generally more options to focus projectiles where desired. Note that regardless of where the Status Effect occurs, it will continue to prevent enemies from being able to shoot at you without having their projectiles redirected back to the center of the bubble.

Grasp of Lohk:

  • Re-casting will now steal weapons up to the max number of affected targets.
    • How it will work: You will be able to re-cast up to the max number of targets that you can steal from. In other words, you can add to the current batch of weapons. For example, if your max target is set to 6, and you have 3 weapons active, Grasp of Lohk can be re-cast to “top up” to the remaining 3 weapon allowance. Newly grabbed weapons from re-casts will have independent durations from the previous batch – similar to Protea’s Blaze Artillery.
    • We made re-casting available in Round 1 and set it up to replace the entire current active batch of weapons. Our original reasoning was that this allowed for a ‘fresh’ cast to be made if an undesirable pull occurred. But what makes far more sense is to follow the precedent set by Nekros’ Shadows of the Dead. So now you can maintain your current floating auto-cannon sidekicks and re-cast to refill or top up to the max on command. This will give far more control in maintaining the max number of active weapons you can have at once.
  • Added HUD tracker for active weapons.
    • Following our re-cast change, we thought it would be quite helpful to know exactly how many weapons you have active so that you know how many more you can add on re-cast. Instead of counting them manually one by one as they float and shoot around, this is much easier on the eyes!

  • Stolen weapons will no longer target invulnerable enemies.
    • Currently, Grasp of Lohk weapons will target enemies with grey health bars indicating that they are invulnerable. This clearly serves no purpose as their health cannot be damaged and ultimately takes focus away from more important targets. Not to mention that this is a poor use of the ability’s duration drain. As a result, we’ve removed invulnerable enemies as target candidates and stolen weapons will now redirect to vulnerable enemies within range.
  • Grasp of Lohk weapons will visually darken when near the end of their lifespan.
    • Although the ability bar does count down the lifespan once cast, this visual change offers another way to determine when your Grasp of Lohk needs to be recast as opposed to waiting until the ability expires completely, or having to watch/recheck the ability bar.
  • Note on Grasp of Lohk’s ‘Target Range’:
    • In Round 1, we made the distinction between Grasp of Lohk’s ‘Grab Range’ and ‘Target Range’. We then increased its ‘Grab Range’ and left ‘Target Range’ untouched due to “firing range experiments being a bit too wild for Round 1”. As we’ve continued testing, this has held true. In any instance where we’ve increased it, even slightly, we neared a state that we had already established was undesirable due to its encouragement of an ‘inactive’ way of playing (Ember’s “World on Fire” comes to mind before it was changed to “Inferno”). As a result, ‘Target Range’ will continue to remain untouched for this round.

The Lost: Accuse

  • We are following through with our proposed idea from Round 1 and have made Accuse re-castable!
    • How it will work: The same way Grasp of Lohk will be set up in Round 2! You will be able to re-cast up to the max number of targets that can be affected/corrupted. For example, if your max target is set to 10, and you have 5 active, Accuse can be re-cast to “top up” to the remaining 5 corrupted crew allowance. Enemies corrupted from re-cast will have independent durations from the previous batch.
    • Currently, Accuse cannot be re-cast until the duration expires or all affected enemies are killed. Which means that often you find yourself locked into a corrupted crew that is inefficient due to dwindling numbers, poor initial cast, etc. For those reasons and more, this was a highly requested change that we are happy to make happen!
  • Added HUD tracker for active “Accused” enemies
    • This’ll look familiar because we added this for Grasp of Lohk and explained above, but just so that we have intent clear here with Accuse as well! We thought it would be quite helpful to know exactly how many “Accused” enemies you have active so that you know how many more you can add on re-cast. Instead of counting them manually one by one as they run around, this is much easier on the eyes!
      ilJEor8RzKvAK3rNqx2nR-EMQx4RVR-T8z2eozRC

The Lost: Gaze

  • Increased base radius from 8m to 12m.
    • Increasing the base radius range on “Gazed” enemies was highly requested since its defense reduction applies to enemies while they are within the affected area. As we noted in Round 1, we evaluated Gaze and how it performs with established builds that maximized its effects. Increasing the base radius range hits the spot between improving the ability’s effectiveness and managing what is already established as powerful with focused builds. Essentially, more space for more enemies to have their defenses stripped without tipping the scales dramatically on is an already well performing ability when used strategically.

The Lost: Deny

  • Increased Deny’s beam width and base range (25m to 40m).
    • Straightforward change to help you target and damage more enemies. More bang for your beam!
  • Deny can now be cast while moving.
    • Currently, Deny’s casting animation locks Xaku in place. While we did increase the casting speed in Round 1, it just simply was not enough to fulfill the parkour freedom you’ve become well familiar with in Warframe. Removing the lock brings back the ninja fantasy while also making the most of the synergy between Deny and Grasp of Lohk that we added in Round 1. As we said in our first Xaku Dev Workshop, “more firepower… faster”, but this time we really mean it!

Xaku Fixes:

  • Fixed Xaku’s Xata’s Whisper sometimers not applying its damage buff or Void Status Effect when using the Komorex.
  • Fixed Xaku’s Xata’s Whisper not using the intended Status Chance for projectile weapons.
  • Fixed the HUD timer icon for Xata’s Whisper in the top right corner ticking down  regardless of The Vast Untime being active. This was only a visual bug, and did not actually affect the ‘time freezing’ synergy with The Vast Untime and Xaku’s other abilities.
  • Fixed Xaku’s skin not being properly localized.
  • Fixed Xaku missing their head and armor when viewed in the Mods Tutorial screens.
  • Fixed camera obstruction and misaligned aiming if Xaku’s Grasp creates a Shedu armament.

THE STEEL PATH: ACOLYTES JOIN THE BATTLE & MORE!

The Steel Path provides Tenno with two things: a more difficult journey on the Star Chart, and a new economy with Steel Essence to get some gear.

We have decided to revisit the Steel Essence acquisition because at present time, people feel forced to play extremely long macro-based runs to optimize their runs. We would rather try something else.

621cc45cf265d33c880abf72c9aef8f2.jpg

Introducing: Acolyte Minibosses & Steel Path Incursions (Daily Alerts)!

  • Every day, five Steel Path missions will be chosen randomly, and completing them will award 3 Steel Essence per Incursion. Furthermore, this will unlock the node, even if you have not reached that part of the Steel Path yet! This should help improve the matchmaking situation, among other things.
    • NOTE: Steel Path Incursions will appear in the Alert section of the World State Window when you are set to Steel Path mode.
  • As you play in any Steel Path mission, Acolytes will spawn and attack – defeating the Acolyte grants a guaranteed drop of 2 Steel Essence. Beware! If you get downed by an Acolyte, they’ll escape and you won’t receive any Steel Essence!
    • *The Steel Path Acolytes now have the same Status treatment that Liches received earlier this year.
    • *Reduced the Melee attack damage on both Misery and Malice to avoid the more reported 1HKOs.
  • In essence (ha), there is virtually no RNG with Steel Essence anymore. Daily Incursions guarantee 3 per Alert, and Acolytes will always appear in regular missions (Endlessly in Endless missions.). The time at which they choose to appear may be a bit random, but if you kill mobs, they will come!
    • Please note, Acolytes won’t spawn in Archwing missions on the Steel Path.
  • Teshin’s Steel Path Honors will now have a Weekly item for you to purchase! There are 8 items total, meaning that every 8 weeks the store will reset and allow you purchase anew. Look forward to things like an Umbra Forma Blueprint, Shotgun Riven Mod, and more!

*Both the new Infested and Entrati Decorations have reduced Resource costs (by 25% of how we’d normally price) that is in part of a larger Dojo QoL Update coming soon!

Dojo Changes:

  • Renamed Dojo item research button text to “Start Research” instead of “Start Project” for clarity. 0d40836abddfd78485de62571662b345.png
  • Renamed Clan Research “DEPENDENCIES” sort and Room Selection to “PREREQUISITES” to match the side crafting panel for accuracy.
  • Selecting a Clan Research Prerequisite will now select that Research, where you can then start researching it immediately.
  • Dojo Bell decoration sounds can now be changed by the “Sound Effects Volume” slider in your Options.
  • Added the ability to rename Transporter after placing them in your Clan Dojo.
  • Disabled Warframe Passives when entering Dojo Obstacle Courses and disabled the several seconds of invulnerability when starting the course.
    • We spoke to Dojo Designers in the community and got their feedback on obstacle courses. These changes come from their point that both of the above give players an unfair advantage. Zephyr’s passive comes to mind. The temporary invulnerability at the start of the course was mirrored from regular missions, but was being used to bypass some traps. Overall, these changes allow Dojo Course designers to really challenge those who attempt their creations and do so fairly.

Dojo Fixes:

  • Fixed Dojo Decorations with names about 38 characters long getting cut off by the edge of the screen.
  • Fixed being unable to shrink several Dojo Decorations after you’ve scaled them up (Natural Vallis Falls for example).
  • Fixed large Decorations in constricted movement mode in the Dojo not moving when attempting to do so if it is out of the player’s FOV.
  • Fixed an issue with the damage/fail triggers of Trap Dojo obstacle course decorations not scaling when size was changed.
  • Fixed PH appearing next to the “Reset Rotation” option when rotating a Dojo Decoration.
  • Fixed all Sawgaw Floof variants appearing the same in the Dojo.

NEW COMMUNITY NEWS TAB:
You may notice a new addition to the news console in your freshly updated Orbiter! Now Community news has its own tab and will list everything happening within the Warframe community, such as livestreams, contests, charity drives, or important community news!

General Audio Additions and Changes:

  • Added two brand new music pieces in Deimos! Time to start choreographing your Infestation hacking and slashing.
  • Added separate control in Audio Options for YOUR Mandachord volume.
    • Players have asked for this for a while and now you can control your own Mandachord volume in the game instead of having to adjust the main Sound Effects audio slider. This also includes Subsumed Octavia Resonator.
  • Music in all cinematics now respects the Music volume slider in Audio Options.
  • Dojo music levels are now adjustable using the “Music Volume” slider under the Audio options.
  • All of the Helminth ability sounds have been updated with new custom FX!
    • When the Helminth was released we used existing sound FX in the game as placeholders. Now, Helminth abilities (such as Empower, Master’s Summons, etc.) have their own unique sound to make them stand out from the rest!
  • There is now a ‘Nora Night’ audio slider in your Options that you can use to Mute Nora’s in-game transmissions.

  • Reduced Phahd explosion damage from 3100 to 1100.

  • Added a new UI popup when providing Fish/Gems/etc. for Standing to indicate how much you’ve gained from your kind gestures.
  • Added a “MAX” label when contributing Entrati Tokens and you’ve hit the Daily Standing cap or maxed out Entrati Standing.

  • Added Demolyst and Arbitration Drone kill medals in the End of Mission screen.
  • Added the Machete Blueprint to Simaris’ Offerings.
  • Added “Recommended” label to the in-game Market.
  • Added “Syndicate” button to ‘donation’ screens in Cetus, Fortuna, and Necralisk so that you can quickly jump to the Syndicate screen.
    784ea7d862999454c85445951b549072.jpg
  • Selecting “exit” in the Syndicate screen after using this button will take you back to the donation screen. So you can now go back and forth to see your progress and rank up if you meet the requirements!
  • Added ground dust FX to all Arc Gun fire.
  • Added new animations and sounds to the Carcinus Speargun Skin. We apologize for shipping this Skin without it’s intended animations, which made the Skin appear static. New animations and sounds include:
    • The Speargun will be collapsed when viewed in the Arsenal, and then expand when changing its colors to provide a more accurate depiction of what it will look like expanded.
    • The Speargun will now collase when holstered and expand when equipping. Additionally the equip sound has changed from the default sound.
    • The gun tip of the Speargun will now animate upon equipping.
    • The circular clips on the gun tip will animate upon firing and when doing a charged shot.
    • Reloading now animates the gun tip with included FX. Additionally the reload sound has changed from the default ‘whoosh’.

 

Baurahn Prime Ephemera Changes & Fixes:

We were originally a little conservative with the Baurahn Prime Ephemera as to not visually overwhelm. Based on your feedback post launch we’ve made a few changes:

  • Aggressively reduced required idle times for the dragons to trigger.
  • Enabled Energy colouring for the dragons metal textures.
    • Previously the metal parts of the dragons were locked as gold. Now it takes the primary Energy colour, and if you have the secondary unlocked, the Energy element of the dragons will favour that – so you can colour the metal with the primary and the Energy with the secondary.
  • Updated the Baurahn Prime Ephemera so the dragon bodies will take the Accent tint color, giving you further customization options.
  • Increased scale of the smaller dragons.
  • Fixed the Baurahn Prime Ephemera FX playing when in Navigation view, which can be visually overwhelming.
  • Fixed Baurahn Prime Ephemera FX not being removed until leaving the Arsenal.

 Vitrica Changes & Fixes:

  • Added the Vitrica Blueprint to Simaris’ Offerings, which can be purchased once the Glassmaker boss has been completed.
  • We noticed that players were not aware of the Vitrica shockwave feature created on slams, so we improved the FX to make it more visible and updated the description to communicate its existence, have fun!
    • The sword the fabled Orokin executioner Nihil used to glass the condemned. Swing while Aim Gliding to glass enemies. A Ground Slam will smash nearby glassed foes, while sending forward a narrow shockwave to shatter distant ones. A Heavy Slam sends forth a wider shockwave with greater force.
  • Removed the Vitrica from Conclave – it sneaked in!
  • Improvements towards the Vitrica slam shockwave FX.
  • Fixed Vitrica and Vitrica’s glass detonation ignoring Limbo’s Rift mechanics.

General Changes:

  • Bounty objectives (on all Free Roam missions) are now enabled 5 seconds after the Bounty vote concludes, allowing players to reach the encounter area and start the objective before all the preamble transmissions complete. The arrival objective transmission will interrupt the preamble if the objective is started before the preamble completes.
  • Separated Kitguns from the Primary/Secondary weapons in the Mastery breakdown into its own category.
    • Kitguns moved from Secondary to Primary in Mastery breakdown in Deimos: Arcana — since this might cause some confusion we decided to just have Kitgun Weapons in the Mastery breakdown. This also makes it clear you don’t double dip!
  • Removed the Gas Status Effect from the Deimos Jugulus shooting bone glaives.
    • The Gas Status Effect was unintended – should only be administering Slash.
  • Updated Ivara’s Quiver, Vauban’s Minelayer, Xaku’s The Lost, and Titania’s Tribute ability descriptions to list the sub-abilities and a brief general description of what they do. Tips related to these sub-abilities for each Warframe have also been edited for accuracy as a result.
  • Updated Zephyr’s Airburst ability description to include the tap-and-hold mechanic.
  • Reduced Isolation Vault Bounty Toxicity phase from 3 minutes to 1:30 minutes.
  • Entrati member names will no longer appear when Creator Mode is enabled.
  • The End of Mission ‘Important’ filter will now place Alert rewards at the top of the list.
  • Clarified Daily Standing Bar value by adding the word ‘Remaining’ to indicate as such.
  • Removed Latrox Une from the Simulacrum (because shooting your friends is mean).
  • Increased accuracy and reduced recoil of the Primary Catchmoon Kitgun when used with Tremor and Steadyslam Grips.
  • Added an additional 30 Nightwave Prestige Ranks (150 max).
    • Our last Nightwave Prestige Rank increase proved to not be enough for those whose retroactive amount put them at the new max. More Ranks for more Crystal Cred!
  • Disabled True Master Fonts (Relay Blessing) applying to conclave gameplay, as it provides an unfair advantage.
  • Moved “Mutalist Alad V Assassinate node” away from Akkad to prevent selecting it by accident.
  • Reduced repetitive Helminth animations when interacting with it.
  • Improved performance when playing with Banshee.
  • Reduced the self-stagger range on the Sonicor
  • “Winged” Syandanas that have open/closed states (Sari Syandana etc.) will now only be open in the End of Mission diorama for the player with it equipped. This fixes issues with overlap/clipping for the rest of the squad.
  • Updated the descriptions of the Vulpaphyla and Predasite Antigens for Vulpaphyla.
  • Changed Ayatan Stars to sort as a rare Resource in the End of Mission screen.
  • Added a “whoosh” sound FX to the end of a Nunchaku movement.

    • Made several adjustments to certain Ayatan Sculpture and Star dioramas so that they are easier to see.
  • Gave Atlas a little more height on his backflip in his animation idles.You’d think he wouldn’t need it because he has no neck, but it needed to be done.
  • Changed items listed in the in-game Market packs from ALL CAPS to Title Case. Also, replaced “ITEM (OWNED)” with the ‘owned’ icon.
  • Changed all vendors’ names in Fortuna and Cetus from ALL CAPS to Title Case.
  • Updated Arcane Pulse’s description to include the heal amount and radius.
  • Changed the Buzlok’s projectile launch to appear slightly below the scope when aiming.
  • Your chosen Energy color will now apply to part of the FX when you revive yourself.
  • Made changing the exposure setting in Captura less drastic.
  • Updated Halikar/Halikar Wraith’s thrown hit effects to be more in-line with other projectile effects.
  • Moved the first attack of Threshing Gain to the last in Wise Razor Stance and adjusted the damage accordingly.
  • Cortege Changes:
    • Increased range from 24m to 28m.
    • Added Punch Through to the Cortege’s primary fire against enemies (will not penetrate level geometry).
  • Exodia Contagion projectiles now inherent the Critical Chance/Damage and the Status Chance of the Zaw it is slotted into.
  • Removed ability to Emote while on a K-Drive due to functionality breaking.
  • Improved the default placement of TennoCon Deimos Prex cards so they are a bit nicer to position when Decorating.
  • Changed the Mastery Rank Challenge Icons to the new design that was released recently.
  • Improved Melee slam animations!
    • You’ll now be able to start moving after a Melee slam at the same timing as when you can shoot or perform another Melee attack.

  • Made several minor adjustments to the Bow idle animations to address motion blur issues and more.
  • Disabled the health marker on Grineer Crewships in Railjack missions when the reactor is destroyed.
    • We made this change so that there is less confusion to those outside of the Crewship on whether or not it is still an active/valid target.
  • Cleaned up some beam FX in various areas of the game.
  • The ‘Multishot’ stat will no longer appear if it is at or below a value of 1.
  • Reworked the Fluctus muzzle and projectile FX.
  • Stalker and Acolytes have been given the fancy “boss Health bar” treatment!
  • Updated tooltip message for Energy while in Arsenal to read “Used to cast Abilities” instead of “Used to cast Warframe Abilities.”
  • Removed the ‘Mend The Family’ option from Grandmother during the Heart of Deimos Quest, which could result in an inability to progress the Quest.
  • Increased the projectile speed of the Arquebex.
  • Updated some texts referring to Orokin Derelicts instead of Deimos.
  • Increased the size of the rear weakpoint on enemy Nechramechs.
    • This should make hitting the Necramechs more consistent with what you see.

Helminth Changes & Fixes:

  • The Helminth Subsume confirmation prompt will now show the Forma count on the respective Warframe.

GTA Online The Cayo Perico Heist Trailer Gives a Look at the Incoming Action

In case you didn’t know, Rockstar Games is about to unleash a new mission in GTA Online and that’s The Cayo Perico Heist! Out this December 15, the studio has released the GTA Online The Cayo Perico Heist trailer today to give fans a look at the upcoming con.

Anything goes on Cayo Perico, a private paradise that’s home to the infamous El Rubio, the world’s preeminent narcotrafficker and supplier to the Madrazo family.

Cayo Perico is not only the nerve center of El Rubio’s drug empire, but the island also plays host to his other great love: marathon dance parties on golden beaches, where everyone from jetsetters and heiresses to legendary music producers gather to rave until the sun comes up.

But away from the beach’s earthly delights lies an untold fortune in art, gold and drug money, scattered across the island. It’s the score of a lifetime for those who can find a way in.

According to Rockstar Games, The Cayo Perico Heist is the “biggest GTA Online adventure ever,” and will allow for 1-4 players. There’s going to be an all-new island location, and more! This download will be free for anyone who has GTA Online.

Once the update is out for the game, we’ll let our readers kow.

Microsoft Details Xbox Game Pass Plans for 2021, Teases More Surprises at The Game Awards

It looks like Microsoft is gearing up for some big things with Xbox for next year and beyond, as their latest post in their official Xbox website confirms they have big plans for Xbox Game Pass in 2021 and are teasing more surprises to be revealed at The Game Awards happening this December 10.

Speaking about Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft confirmed they are working hard on bringing cloud based gaming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate —

In Spring 2021, we will take the next step in our journey to reach more players around the world by making cloud gaming as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate available on Windows PCs through the Xbox app and browser, and iOS devices through mobile web browser. By adding over a billion devices as a path to playing in the Xbox ecosystem, we envision a seamless experience for all types of players; whether it’s playing Minecraft Dungeons with your Xbox friends using touch controls on an iPhone, or jumping into a Destiny 2: Beyond Light strike on a Surface Pro when you have a break between meetings.

Whatever screen you choose, we want to make it easy to continue your game and connect with your friends.

Finally, we’ll bring cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to new markets, including Australia, Brazil, Japan and Mexico, where we recently began our limited Project xCloud preview program.

We can’t wait to share more early next year about our cloud gaming ambitions and how you can expect to take your gaming experiences further.

As gamers adopt to the new and upcoming changes alongside the newly released Xbox Series X|S console, Microsoft teased that they’ll be more surprises unveiled — starting with The Game Awards tomorrow.

Be sure to follow more updates and news on Xbox and more here at Mp1st.

Halo Infinite Release Date Moved to Fall 2021

Originally set to launch this month, Halo Infinite was delayed to sometime in 2021. Well, it seems we now have a release window, and the Halo Infinite release date has been narrowed down to “Fall 2021.”

This announcement was made on the official Halo Waypoint website by 343 Industries’ Joseph Staten. Staten mentions that the team needed more time to do things “right,” whcih included pushing for the game’s release in the fall, so the studio can recharge over the holidays.

Here’s an excerpt of Staten’s letter to the community:

I’ve spent the last four months immersing myself back into the Halo universe, and it’s my honor as creative director to help our team ship Halo Infinite in Fall 2021.

Yep, that’s when the game is coming out. And from now until then, every one of us at 343i and our great partner teams will be building, testing, and polishing an experience we hope all of you love.

I joined 343i right as the team was wrestling with feedback from the July campaign demo. This discussion boiled down to one fundamental truth: we needed more time to do things right. That included pushing hard in the Fall, giving the team time to recharge over the Holidays, and then coming back in January to finish the game at a healthy pace.

You can read up on Staten’s letter, as well as 343 Industries’ commitment to making the graphics look better right here.

The Elder Scrolls Online Update 2.12 December 9 Released (Update)

Bethesda has today released The Elder Scrolls Online update 2.12 December 9 patch for fixes. While there shouldn’t be any big content drop given we’re at the end of the year, players can expect gameplay-related fixes and tweaks to be rolled out.

PS4 Update 8.03 Rolled Out, Includes More Than Stability Fixes

While Sony has just rolled out a PS5 firmware update today, PS4 gamers won’t be left out, as PS4 update 8.03 is now live! The latest firmware update for the PS4 actually has new stuff in it other than just stability fixes. It appears the update is optional for the moment, so users won’t be prompted or forced to update their consoles. If people want to try and manually force the system update they can do so on the PS4 by going to settings and then scrolling down to system software update. The console will then check for the latest update and begin downloading

PS4 Update 8.03 Patch Notes:

Here’s what got added in today’s PS4 firmware update:

  • Disable Game Chat Audio] has been added under [Sound/Devices] in quick menu. If you turn on this setting, game chat audio will be disabled. Your voice won’t be heard, and you won’t hear other player’s voices. This setting doesn’t apply to party chat audio.

That seems to be it in terms of new stuff for this system update. If we (or the community) spot any other changes not mentioned above, we’ll update the post. Likewise, if you spot any changes after installing the update, hit us up down in the comments below.

Untitled Ubisoft Game Coming to Xbox Series X, Will Feature Sports Violence & 32-Player Multiplayer

While there’s bound to be quite a number of unannounced games set to hit next-gen, it seems the existence of one got unearthed today, and it’s a mystery/untitled Ubisoft Xbox Series X|S title!

Simply titled MAD – VMC #1, the game file itself is on the official Microsoft Store and even has “Confidential” slapped across its page. We’ve taken a screenshot just in case it gets taken down (via Roberto Serrano).

Key things to take from it so far are that it’s a VMC beta file that’s use for internal testing (as mentioned in the game page), it’ll feature both single-player and multiplayer. It’ll also feature 4K HDR, so it should look pretty.

Speaking of multiplayer, it will feature matches of up to 32 players! While we don’t know exactly what kind of game this is, it’ll feature “sports” and “violence,” which suggests a team-based game that could possibly be based on a new sport-like title crafted by Ubisoft. For those wondering, only the next-gen Xbox platforms seem to support the game.

Given how Ubisoft is usually platform agnostic, the chances of this untitled Ubisoft Xbox game hitting PlayStation or other platforms is quite high, though we wouldn’t be surprised if it was a full-on or timed exclusive to the Xbox platforms.

Once we know more details, we’ll let our readers know.

PS5 Update 20.02.-02.30.00 Released, Will Prompt DualSense Update (Update)

Sony is continuing its roll out of new PS5 firmware patches frequently, as PS5 update 20.02.-02.30.00 is now live! Clocking in at 868MB, today’s PS5 firmware patch has resoolved some nagging system issues, and has improved connection to Wi-FI and more.

Update: Sony has released the official changelog, which we’ve updated the post with.

PS5 Update 20.02.-02.30.00 Patch Notes:

  • This system update improves system performance
  • Resolved an issue where data transfers and downloads were cancelled when trying to download content while a data transfer from a PS4 is in progress.
  • Some issues that were causing errors during text input in some PS4 games have been resolved.
  • The connection stability has been improved for some Wi-Fi routers.

While there are no actual notes on the system firmware update other than what’s listed above, players will be prompted to update their DualSense PS5 controllers once you’ve booted the system. Sadly, no actual changelog on that is available as well, so we’re left in the dark as to what changes have been made so far. Note that the DualSense controller will be updated from firmware 0204 to 0210.

We’ll be on the lookout for any specific changes brought on by this new PS5 update (or if the community finds any), though we’re not expecting any to be made public, as this is most likely for stability and security changes.

In other PS5 related news, if you game on PC and want to use the DualSense controller for Steam, you can do so now, as Valve has added support for it yesterday! Check out how to pair it here.

Update: Sony has released the official changelog, which we’ve updated above.

As you can see, there are new melee weapons, a new submachine gun in the Mac 10, and more! Same as with every other datamined info, take these with a grain of salt, as nothing has been confirmed by Activision or Treyarch just yet.

Don’t forget to check out the patch released earlier today, though we are still getting another patch on December 15 too.
