The final boss in the 3D Brawler mini-game is none other than the One-Winged Angle himself, and he’s just as challenging as you’d expect him to be. Luckily, we have some tips on how you can beat him, including his full move sets and when exactly you’ll be able to strike him.
How to Beat Sephiroth in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s 3D Brawler:
Understanding His Attacks
Like the Shinra Middle Manager that you fought to unlock Sephiroth, Sephiroth is a full six-special skill fighter. This means that you’ll be using all six available movements, three on each stick, during your fight with Sephiroth in 3D Brawler. He has six attacks, and you have six directions you can use to dodge or block, though, for this fight, you’ll want to ensure you’re dodging (more on that later).
So, let’s go over each of those attacks so you know exactly which button to press when you see it. We’ll start with the stick’s downward action. For Sephiroth, this is an uppercut move and has a very distinct animation, though it’s easy to get it mixed up with the stick’s left and right attacks if you aren’t paying close attention.
Sephiroth will begin to move his fist behind himself while also bending his knees. This means he’s preparing to do an uppercut, and depending on which fist is attacking, you should move the corresponding stick down. Also, pay attention to the position of the front side of the fist. It’s facing away from you.
The second attack is the hook, which is either left or right on the stick. There’s no left stick moving right and right stick moving left, so all you have to worry about is whether he’s making a left hook or a right hook, in which you’ll respond with a left stick move left or right stick move right. The animation he makes to indicate this move can be tough to spot, but his knees don’t bend as much. His fist also moves right behind him, and it faces to the fight rather than to the back. When it does this, then you know he’s going to use a hook.
His last move is a straight attack, which requires you to move one of the two sticks up, depending on which fist is attacking. To determine when Sephiroth is going to use this move, he will lean back a little, move his fist behind him, and it will be facing up, or slightly upwards for the right side.
This is a breakdown of all basic standard attacks; now, let’s go over when you can attack him.
How Do You Attack Sephiroth in 3D Brawler?
Hitting Sephiroth isn’t as easy as it sounds because, compared to the other 3D brawlers, you have to reach his special attack (where they turn red and unless consecutive strikes) before you get the opportunity to hit him. So, starting with the fight, you have to dodge seven of his attacks, and then he will perform his special attack, which is another four dodges you have to do, for a total of 11 dodges. Once you’ve done that, he will open up for the first strike as he will be too exhausted to move. Be quick because he doesn’t stay in this state for much longer.
This initial phase is what makes this fight undoubtedly hard. You don’t have to dodge seven times in a row, but it would be best not to get hit because Sephiroth can kill you in three hits. So dodge the first seven attacks, which are sadly random. Once he starts glowing red, he will perform five consecutive strikes. Luckily, the first time isn’t random, and the combo is as follows:
Right straight, left hook, right hook, left straight, right uppercut = Right stick up, left stick left, right stick right, left stick up, right stick down
If you dodge all his attacks, he will go into a down state, and you can attack him with L2 or R2.
After this, you must pay close attention to his attacks because things become entirely random. So, everything you learned during the first phase is going to weigh heavily in the next minutes of the fight. At this point, he also gains an additional two power-up combo, possibly a third one. He will alternate between them, so remember the first one well. I haven’t mapped out all the combos, but I believe there are three in total.
Left hook, left hook, right straight, left uppercut = Left Stick Left, Left Stick Left, right stick up, left stick down
Right straight, left hook, right hook, left straight, right uppercut = Right stick up, left stick left, right stick right, left stick up, right stick down
Left Stick Down, right stick right, ????
The best tip I can offer you in determining which set he will use is as soon as he turns red, pause the game, then keep unpausing and pausing it until you see his hand move. You should be able to determine, based on his fist positioning, which moves he will use. You can try to exploit the pause mechanic after this, but you have to be extremely fast; otherwise, it will result in a block. Better to find out which combo he will use and just memorize the moves in one solid flow.
Sephiroth also offers players other opportunities that are random to strike him after the first hit phase. This will correspond with L2 or R2, but only one of them, unlike the down state from dodging all his attacks. You’ll know when the opportunity comes up because he strikes a pose, and it’s in either the left or right direction.
It’s all really about paying close attention from here on out, so don’t expect to get this on the first try. It took me a few hours to beat him myself, and we’re sure that’ll be the case for you, too. Just have patience, learn his moves, and practice, and eventually, you’ll get it.

Teyon has pushed out RoboCop: Rogue City update 1.005, and this is a surprise patch, so don’t expect much. Read on for what’s new in the RoboCop: Rogue City patch notes for Feb. 29.
RoboCop Rogue City Update 1.005 Patch Notes for Feb. 29:
Update: The full patch notes, though short they might be, has been released by the studio (via Steam).
Improved game stability
Fixed the Sony Dualshock detection issue
Fixed a few localization issuese
Added AMD FSR 3.03
Fixed the Tattoo Shop quest
Other minor fixes
So far, Teyon has not mentioned anything about today’s title update just yet. We are hoping it fixes the myriad of tech issues on the PS5 version, which is something the community is asking for as well.
The last title update we got was last month, which introduced New Game+ alongside new cosmetics for the game. Hopefully, we’ll hear back from Teyon within the day, and once we know more, we’ll update the article with the info. For readers who applied the patch, leave a comment below and let us know what you spot.
Given how Rogue City is a standalone game with no DLC planned, don’t expect a lot of updates to it. Even so, it’s a solid action game with our review stating, “RoboCop: Rogue City is a complete, single-player game, with no DLC currently in sight. Its rendition of Detroit, satire, gory violence, witty and occasionally campy writing and voice acting, all feel ripped straight out of the original movie, while giving us a standalone story that you’ll likely want to see through to its conclusion.”

Legends Assemble: Classic soldiers, characters, and weapons from the first game, THE EARTH DEFENSE FORCE, up to Earth Defense Force 6, and various EDF series spin-offs return in voxelated form! Longtime fans of the series are in for a serious dose of nostalgia, while those who have never played an EDF game before can enjoy EDF: WB2 as an introduction to the series.
Enemies of Generations Past Reborn: The invaders who attacked Earth and caused mass destruction countless times before are returning in full (voxelated) force. Many enemies, giant weapons, and huge monsters from past EDF games are back and bigger than ever! What hell-spawn will show up next?
Fully Voiced in Multiple Languages: Like its predecessor, EDF: WB2 features English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean voiceovers, so an even greater audience can get in on the action!

Trying to clean up all the trophies in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and realized there’s one for defeating Sephiroth in 3D Brawler? Well, you probably also noticed that he’s not an available fighter, and that’s because there are a few things you have to do before you’ll be able to fight him. We’re here to help with the MP1st Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth How to Unlock Sephiroth in 3D Brawler guide!
Some spoiler warning if you aren’t far in Chapter 12.
How to Unlock Sephiroth in 3D Brawler in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth:
First and foremost, you’ll need to be on Chapter 12. Despite the 3D Brawler mini-game being accessible in earlier chapters, you won’t be able to unlock Sephiroth until later in the game, that being in Chapter 12. Chapter 12 marks the return to the Gold Saucer, which also happens to be the chapter where you get to go on a date with one of the other characters (more on that here).
But storywise, and specifically to unlocking Sephiroth in 3D Brawler, you’ll need to progress in a few things. The first is the chapter itself; you’ll want to continue with the main story, go through the date, meet up with Dio, and defeat the Turks. Once you’ve done the big story portion, you’ll gain access to some new stuff in the Gold Saucer. It’s at this point that you’ll need to be in the story, as this is basically the last time you’ll be able to wander freely around the world. This is also the point in the story where everything else in the game can be unlocked, which comes to the next part you’ll need to do.
You’re going to want to start completing all the side missions in the Coral Region. In total, there are nine, though you’ll only have access to a limited few. Once you’ve cleared enough, more will begin unlocking. It’s side-mission 9, dubbed “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop,” that you’ll eventually unlock, which takes you back to the Gold Saucer to meet up with a certain middle manager you meet in the game a few chapters back.
Complete the quest, and afterward, you’ll get a Gambler Materia and access to a new 3D Brawler fighter, Sephiroth. Be ready, though, as he is a very hard fight. Luckily, we have a guide offering tips on how to beat him!
That’s it; that’s how you unlock Sephiroth in 3D Brawerl!

Starbreeze Studios has released Payday 3 update 1.1.1 and this houses over 300 improvements to the game! Expect adjustments on heists, the visuals, audio, balance and more! There’s a lot to take in, so grab a drink and read the complete patch notes below.
Payday 3 Update 1.1.1 Patch Notes:
UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS & NEW FEATURES
In addition to about 300 bug fixes and improvements getting implemented, we’re happy to introduce the first of the features coming out of “Operation Medic Bag”, our grand game improvement project.
Some new tech features that let us take advantage of Nvidia’s advanced features.
DirectX 12
Added DirectX12 as the standard graphics API, inhouse testing shows a significant performance improvement when using DX12. DX11 remains and can be manually chosen with the launch option “-dx11“.
Hardcore “Cook Off” Challenge Reward
There’s a new challenge called “Kiss the Chef.”Securing 19 bags of perfectly cooked meth on Cook Off on OVERKILL difficulty will reward a unique weapon charm.
Various UI improvements
We’ve made several fixes to the UI, such as adding sliders, as well as added the much requested lobby unready function.
Controller Dead Zone settings
Additional controller settings allow for a much finer customization of your controller gameplay.
Rotating Security Modifiers
Starting with this patch, we’ll be rotating security modifiers on all heists for Very Hard and Overkill difficulty, to freshen up the experience. We’ll be updating the modifier distribution every two weeks. In the future, expect more stealth modifiers and loud modifiers in the rotation.
Game State Consistency
The game will now remember if you’ve chosen to show or hide the story videos in the heist selection even after restarting the game.
Lobby type and difficulty will now automatically be set to the same as the previous game.
KNOWN ISSUES
Skill point assignment has been reset on loadouts but you retain your earned skill points, so remember to recreate your builds after updating the game.
[PC] The introduction of DX12 support has helped us to identify an issue that is present in the previous version of the game that we were unable to reproduce on DX11. This means that there is a rare edge-case issue while using GeForce Experience/Shadowplay’s ‘Instant Replay’ feature can cause a system lock if you ALT+Tab during game startup, or while switching between fullscreen and windowed modes in the game’s video settings.
We advise turning off ‘Instant Replay’ in the Nvidia settings to prevent this issue while we work on a fix for this.

BALANCE
Skills
Tweaked the skill “Disengage” (Tank) so that sprinting is not blocked by Nader gas
“Disengage sees a lot of use, but after the once-per-heist effect is over, it feels like a wasted skill point. With this change, we want it to still have an impact” -Mio
“Hardy” (Tank) has been changed to: “When one of your armor chunks breaks, you gain damage immunity for 2 seconds.”
“Hardy’s use felt redundant compared to “Solid” (Enforcer), so we’ve changed it to this new effect to give players more margin for error when in combat.” -Mio
Shell Shock” (Demolitionist) now works on all enemies and its bonus is increased to 20% (from 10%)
Tweaked so that throwable flashbangs now also trigger the Demolitionist Aced skill
“This was an oversight on our part.” -Mio
Negotiator” (Manipulator) now drops 2 extra resources (from 1)
“Negotiator didn’t feel like it was worth taking until you exhausted all other trading upgrades, so we’ve made it drop an additional resource to make it more appealing.” -Mio
CQC Specialist Base has been changed to say: “Whenever you grab a human shield, gain or refresh RUSH”
“We’ve made several changes to the CQC Specialist line to improve its flow and utility.” -Mio
CQC Specialist Aced has been changed to say: “Whenever you perform a takedown, gain or refresh GRIT”
Groundskeeper” (CQC Specialist) now has increased takedown speed bonus to 60% (from 20%)
“Savage Takedown” (CQC Specialist) now intimidates civilians when grabbing human shields and not when performing a takedown
“Soft Assets” (CQC Specialist) has been changed to now say: “If you have RUSH and shove away a SWAT you held as a human shield, RUSH is consumed, and you repair your current armor chunk if it’s damaged. This ability only triggers once per enemy. You move 5% faster while holding a human shield.”
“The old skill’s ability to restore ammo wasn’t as useful in the current state of the game, so we decided to replace it with a way to repair armor.” -Mio
Triage skill” (Medic) no longer consumes buffs to activate.
“Steady Hands” (Medic) now gives its effect to any teammate interacting with a Medic Bag. If multiple players have this skill, its effectiveness is increased by 5% for each player on top of the base 20%.
“We’ve made this change to improve the support playstyle. Let us know what you think so we can make more adjustments in the future.” -Mio
“High grain” (Ammo Specialist) now gives its effect to any teammate interacting with an Ammo Bag. If multiple players have this skill, its effectiveness is increased by 5% for each player on top of the base 20%.
“We’ve made this change to improve the support playstyle. Let us know what you think so we can make more adjustments in the future.” -Mio
Added an HUD icon for High Grain (Ammo Specialist) when active
Increased the bonus from “Threat Assessment” in skill line Strategist to 20% (from 10%)
Adjusted Signal Scan (Scrambler) so that it only marks cameras in stealth while the other entities are marked in loud.
Increased hacking distance vs gun drones to 15 meters (from 10m)
Decreased hacking time to gun drones to 0.5s (from 1.5s)
Infiltrator Base now gives “RUSH” when picking up loose cash.
“We’ve made this change because it both fits thematically and it makes it easier to bag cash in vaults if you’re running Transporter and Infiltrator skills together.” -Mio
Fixed an issue with ECM jammers skill “Cam Distortion” to properly disable the ability to apply runtimes.
Fixed so that the Hacker Aced skill requires a previously applied runtime in order to detonate the camera
Weapons
Balance pass for R900
Can now penetrate shields when paired with the “Cutting Shot” skill
Armor pen increased from 1.3 to 2
DMG increased 0-40m 130 to 160, 41-60m from 62.5 to 77.61, 61-100m from 41.7 to 51.3

Enemies
On OVERKILL difficulty, enemy intensity will now update mid-wave instead of between assault waves

Don’t expect another patch anytime soon, as we’re expecting the next one to drop in April.
Bohemia Interactive has released DayZ Update 1.62 on consoles and PC, and this is a small patch that exterminates a few bugs that stemmed from the big 1.24 patch released earlier this month. For those who had issues connecting, it’s due to the game undergoing maintenance earlier today.
Read on for what got changed in today’s DayZ update patch notes.
DayZ Update 1.62 Patch Notes:
Console Stable 1.24 Update 2 – Version 1.24.157551 (Release on 29.02.2024)
GAME
FIXED
A loud sound distortion could appear upon entering the main menu
Hell Let Loose update 1.028 is now out on both consoles and PC, and this is for patch version 14.8 that brings British Forces Rework Part 2! There’s a lot to sink your teeth into, so let’s get to it in the official patch notes below.
Hell Let Loose Update 1.028 Patch Notes | Hell Let Loose Update 14.8 Patch Notes | Hell Let Loose British Forces Rework Part 2 Patch Notes:
This update completes the British rework phase of development. We decided to expand on the initial release of the British forces last year following a swath of valuable feedback. After two content updates comprising overhauls, we feel confident in the enhancements and improvements to transform this portion of the game. Thank you for your assistance in helping us accomplish this!
We’ve also implemented a new game mode, Control Skirmish. Based on feedback from previous PTEs, we’ve focused on refining our ‘seeding’ (rebranded to Control) game mode which originally featured on Foy and Kharkov.
Skirmish is a gateway experience for new players of Hell Let Loose. This game mode allows players to get straight into the action and experience some of the core mechanics of Hell Let Loose with fewer moving parts.
This is a quicker 50vs50 experience for some of our core audience who want to hop in for a few games and immerse themselves in the battle immediately.
Featuring a new type of garrison – the forward position, each side will be limited to one Armour squad and one Recon squad; the Commander can only spawn in medium tanks and no artillery pieces will be placed on the map.
Both teams start with control over their half of the map while the middle sector is neutral with a single capture point. Both teams must fight, attack and then defend this single capture point. Only the middle section of the map and the single capture point can change hands. At the end of the game, the team that controls the capture point is declared the winner.
To support this, there will be dedicated servers on PC, running these Skirmish maps, 24/7, so they’re always available for you to join.

Mac players, you’ll be pleased to hear that this hotfix brings the full release of Patch 6 and subsequent hotfixes to the platform, so kiss without delay. Thank you for your patience!

Payday 3 Update 1.000.022 Patch Notes for Feb. 29:
Update: Complete patch notes have been added to what Starbreeze calls patch version 1.1.1!
UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS & NEW FEATURES
In addition to about 300 bug fixes and improvements getting implemented, we’re happy to introduce the first of the features coming out of “Operation Medic Bag”, our grand game improvement project.
Some new tech features that let us take advantage of Nvidia’s advanced features.
DirectX 12
Added DirectX12 as the standard graphics API, inhouse testing shows a significant performance improvement when using DX12. DX11 remains and can be manually chosen with the launch option “-dx11“.
Hardcore “Cook Off” Challenge Reward
There’s a new challenge called “Kiss the Chef.”Securing 19 bags of perfectly cooked meth on Cook Off on OVERKILL difficulty will reward a unique weapon charm.
Various UI improvements
We’ve made several fixes to the UI, such as adding sliders, as well as added the much requested lobby unready function.
Controller Dead Zone settings
Additional controller settings allow for a much finer customization of your controller gameplay.
Rotating Security Modifiers
Starting with this patch, we’ll be rotating security modifiers on all heists for Very Hard and Overkill difficulty, to freshen up the experience. We’ll be updating the modifier distribution every two weeks. In the future, expect more stealth modifiers and loud modifiers in the rotation.
Game State Consistency
The game will now remember if you’ve chosen to show or hide the story videos in the heist selection even after restarting the game.
Lobby type and difficulty will now automatically be set to the same as the previous game.
KNOWN ISSUES
Skill point assignment has been reset on loadouts but you retain your earned skill points, so remember to recreate your builds after updating the game.
[PC] The introduction of DX12 support has helped us to identify an issue that is present in the previous version of the game that we were unable to reproduce on DX11. This means that there is a rare edge-case issue while using GeForce Experience/Shadowplay’s ‘Instant Replay’ feature can cause a system lock if you ALT+Tab during game startup, or while switching between fullscreen and windowed modes in the game’s video settings.
We advise turning off ‘Instant Replay’ in the Nvidia settings to prevent this issue while we work on a fix for this.
GENERAL
The game will now remember if you’ve chosen to show or hide the story videos in the heist selection even after restarting the game.
Lobby type and difficulty will now automatically be set to the same as the previous game.

BALANCE
Skills
Tweaked the skill “Disengage” (Tank) so that sprinting is not blocked by Nader gas
“Disengage sees a lot of use, but after the once-per-heist effect is over, it feels like a wasted skill point. With this change, we want it to still have an impact” -Mio
“Hardy” (Tank) has been changed to: “When one of your armor chunks breaks, you gain damage immunity for 2 seconds.”
“Hardy’s use felt redundant compared to “Solid” (Enforcer), so we’ve changed it to this new effect to give players more margin for error when in combat.” -Mio
Shell Shock” (Demolitionist) now works on all enemies and its bonus is increased to 20% (from 10%)
Tweaked so that throwable flashbangs now also trigger the Demolitionist Aced skill
“This was an oversight on our part.” -Mio
Negotiator” (Manipulator) now drops 2 extra resources (from 1)
“Negotiator didn’t feel like it was worth taking until you exhausted all other trading upgrades, so we’ve made it drop an additional resource to make it more appealing.” -Mio
CQC Specialist Base has been changed to say: “Whenever you grab a human shield, gain or refresh RUSH”
“We’ve made several changes to the CQC Specialist line to improve its flow and utility.” -Mio
CQC Specialist Aced has been changed to say: “Whenever you perform a takedown, gain or refresh GRIT”
Groundskeeper” (CQC Specialist) now has increased takedown speed bonus to 60% (from 20%)

“Soft Assets” (CQC Specialist) has been changed to now say: “If you have RUSH and shove away a SWAT you held as a human shield, RUSH is consumed, and you repair your current armor chunk if it’s damaged. This ability only triggers once per enemy. You move 5% faster while holding a human shield.”
“The old skill’s ability to restore ammo wasn’t as useful in the current state of the game, so we decided to replace it with a way to repair armor.” -Mio
Triage skill” (Medic) no longer consumes buffs to activate.
“Steady Hands” (Medic) now gives its effect to any teammate interacting with a Medic Bag. If multiple players have this skill, its effectiveness is increased by 5% for each player on top of the base 20%.
“We’ve made this change to improve the support playstyle. Let us know what you think so we can make more adjustments in the future.” -Mio
“High grain” (Ammo Specialist) now gives its effect to any teammate interacting with an Ammo Bag. If multiple players have this skill, its effectiveness is increased by 5% for each player on top of the base 20%.
“We’ve made this change to improve the support playstyle. Let us know what you think so we can make more adjustments in the future.” -Mio
Added an HUD icon for High Grain (Ammo Specialist) when active
Increased the bonus from “Threat Assessment” in skill line Strategist to 20% (from 10%)
Adjusted Signal Scan (Scrambler) so that it only marks cameras in stealth while the other entities are marked in loud.

Decreased hacking time to gun drones to 0.5s (from 1.5s)
Infiltrator Base now gives “RUSH” when picking up loose cash.
“We’ve made this change because it both fits thematically and it makes it easier to bag cash in vaults if you’re running Transporter and Infiltrator skills together.” -Mio
Fixed an issue with ECM jammers skill “Cam Distortion” to properly disable the ability to apply runtimes.
Fixed so that the Hacker Aced skill requires a previously applied runtime in order to detonate the camera

Enemies
On OVERKILL difficulty, enemy intensity will now update mid-wave instead of between assault waves

Starbreeze hasn’t revealed the patch notes just yet, but the studio did relay some of the highlights in today’s patch in last week’s dev blog post.
We’ve added two features to help your game look & run better on PC; support for DirectX 12 will be added in the next PAYDAY 3 update. (You’ll still be able to choose DirectX 11 via the launch option -dx11 should you for some reason prefer that).
We’re also adding Nvidia’s Scaler features such as Image Scaling Upscaler (NIS), DLAA 3.5 as well as DLSS Super Resolution 3.5. These should help anyone with a weak or a fancy GPU make the game look and run even better!
In addition to that, we’ve got several controller options such as the much requested dead zone adjustments to make controllers more customizable and feel much better to use.
Another very requested feature has been added as well: the unready function! You can now click “READY” again to… unready.
And the last thing we want to mention in this post, for all you hardcore players, we’ve added a challenge for completing Cook Off on OVERKILL and getting out with 19 perfectly cooked bags. Anyone who pulls this off will be rewarded with a unique weapon charm.
Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll update the article with the info.
Starbreeze Studios has pulled the Payday 3 servers down for maintenance this Feb 29, and as one might expect, the game won’t be playable during this time. Read on for the schedule and details.

In ONLINE MATCH, when the opponent is a Raider whose HP can change by swapping out or recovery, the “VS Raider” medal that Survivors can obtain will depend on Raider’s overall HP at the last evolution stage they achieved.
The following strike-based Transphere Super Attacks have been changed to allow evasion during the charge motion:
└Transphere Super Attack “Gigantic Charge”
└Transphere Super Attack “Apocalyptic Burst”
└Transphere Super Attack “Fierce Fist”
The resistance of the Super Attack “Fierce Fist” to Raiders’ attacks has been equalized with other strike-based Transphere Super Attacks such as Kaioken Assault.
Changed the knockback direction of the Transphere Super Attack “Gigantic Meteor” and shortened the time required before another action can be taken after the execution of this Super Attack.
Adjusted the active skill “Shapeshift (Camouflage)” so that contact with the lava on the DANGEROUS GROUND battlefield will revert the effect of the skill.
Adjusted the active skill “Shapeshift (Missile)” so that proximity to the lava on the DANGEROUS GROUND battlefield will no longer revert the effect of the skill.
Made changes to active skills that depend on the view orientation of targeted characters such as Charming Pose and Solar Flare so that they take the affected character’s vertical facing into account.
Adjusted the active skill “Zipline Device” to increase the range and make it easier to install on cliffs higher than the user.
Adjusted the passive skill “Midair Jump” so that Survivors with this skill may no longer jump in the air when the “Jump” button is pressed while moving with the active skill “Grappling Device”.
Adjusted the “Fortuneteller Baba” Survivor Skin so that landing on the ground after ascending a cliff while floating will no longer halt the ascent even if the jump input continues to be pressed.
Made fixes so that when a Survivor is defeated above the water in a stage, they will now sink to the bottom of the water without being slowed by the water’s surface.
Added an automatically respawning destructible object in Area X in Practice Mode.
The following Raiders have been adjusted based on current battle statistics.
Raider: Cell
・Increased the hit detection box size of evolution stage 3 regular Ki Attack (Kamehameha).
・Increased the distance from which is it possible to lock-on to Survivors.
・Increased the distance required for the lock-on to a Survivor to automatically disengage.
・Adjusted the passive skill “Ki Control” from evolution stage 2-4 to reduce the amount of time the Raider is detected by Survivor active skills such as Telepathy and Ki Detection.
・Adjusted the close-range attacks at evolution stage 2 so that when attacking a Survivor that is using Dragon Change in certain types of terrain, those Survivors will be knocked back instead of staying still.
・Adjusted the Super Attack “All Clear” at evolution stage 4 so that when the large-scale attack does not land and Survivors are hit by subsequent Ki Blasts or explosions, the distance they are knocked back will be consistent.
Raider: Frieza
・Slightly increased the evolution energy received when delivering the finishing blow to civilians who do not have Dragon Balls.
・Increase the strengthening effect of the passive skill “You Really Know How to Piss Me Off!”

Raider: Vegeta
・Adjusted evolution stage 4 so that any vehicles or vending machines walked over by Vegeta (Great Ape) will be destroyed.
Raider: Broly
・Shortened the duration of the animation lock after activating evolution stage 2-4 active skill “Gigantic Power”.
・Increased the invincibility period after activating evolution stage 2-4 active skill “Gigantic Power” which is maintained while no other movements or actions are performed.
*Using a skill or evading will cancel this invincibility period.
・Adjusted evolution stage 2-4 active skill “Gigantic Power” to allow the user to evade earlier than when the animation lock ends and normal movement becomes possible.
・Adjusted the active skill “Blaster Meteor” at evolution stage 3, as well as the active skill “Omega Blaster” at evolution stage 3-4 so that while the barrier granted by these skills is active, if a Survivor hits it with a vanish move, the barrier will explode, damaging the Survivor.
・Adjusted the active skill “Blaster Meteor” at evolution stage 3, as well as the active skill “Omega Blaster”, so that if Broly hits a Survivor with a vanish move while the barrier granted by these skills is active, the barrier will not break.
Made the following adjustments to the Super Attacks of certain Transpheres:
Transphere Super Attack “Super Kamehameha”
*Includes the Super Attack of the Super Transphere that appears during matches against Raider: Broly which allows players to transform into Goku (SSGSS).

Fixed an issue where the flying sound effect would not play when a Survivor flies vertically during Dragon Change.
Fixed an issue where holding the Item Help button without any items in the player’s possession would cause the player to become unable to interact with objects.
Fixed an issue where the effect from the Barrier Recovery Device item or the Barrier Auto-Recovery passive skill would activate after receiving certain attacks, even if the barrier wasn’t destroyed.
Fixed an issue where the game would allow players to move to interact with objects during certain damage reactions after being hit with certain attacks, such as the Solar Flare.
Fixed an issue where changing the item in a Survivor’s possession mid-air while jumping after grabbing a wall would allow the player to grab the wall again immediately.
Fixed an issue where during Dragon Change with the Pan (GT) Transphere pressing and holding the jump command while ascending or double-pressing the jump button in mid-air while descending would prevent the player from attacking.
Fixed an issue where the final blow of the consecutive Justice Combination Super Attack could be dodged just before it hit depending on factors such as connection.
Fixed an issue where the Zipline Device active skill would be deployed to an unintended location.
Fixed an issue where the active skill Instant Rise would get caught on certain objects and the player would be unable to move upwards.
Fixed an issue where if the active skill The Savior Has Come was used while the Raider and Survivor had their backs turned to each other, it would unintentionally hit the Raider.
Made fixes to the Shocking Speed passive skill so it will be activated correctly while crouching or swimming.
Fixed an issue where, when the Vehicle Skin (Dragon) was equipped, when landing or jumping on a metal surface, a sound effect would not play.
Made fixes so that when evolution stage 4 Raider: Vegeta uses his Ultimate Super Attack Super Mouth Cannon, the screen darkens for both Survivors and the Raider like it does when other Raiders use their Super Attacks.
Fixed an issue where, when a Raider was hit by skills that restrict Raider’s actions and make it possible to increase how much the Knockback Gauge is depleted while in effect, such as Solar Flare or Charming Pose, the Raider could not be released from that situation even if they used skills such as Frieza’s active skill Break Strike and became able to move again.
Fixed an issue where, when Raider: Cell or Vegeta were at evolution stage 1, the sound effect from when they try to scale or use Wall Kick on the lava waterfall map gimmick in the DANGEROUS GROUND battlefield stage would not play, and the smoke effect on their feet would not display.
Fixed an issue where a Survivor who was hit mid-air during Dragon Change by certain attacks such as regular Ki Blasts from evolution stage 3 Raider: Cell would fall unnaturally.
Fixed an issue where, when Raider: Frieza delivered a finishing blow to a Namekian and obtained a Dragon Ball, the sound effect for obtaining the Dragon Ball would also play for Survivors.
Made fixes so that the blast from Raider: Buu’s evolution stage 3 Super Attack Ill Rain will split into three regardless of how many Survivors are being tracked.
Fixed an issue where firing Ki Blasts while moving backwards as Raider: Vegeta would cause the blasts to fire from a position lower than the cursor’s location or the target that was locked on to.
Fixed an issue where, if a different character appearing under the conditions outlined below executed a close-range attack against a Survivor using Dragon Change, and the Dragon Change limit gauge reached 0 during the attack, the Dragon Change would end before the Survivor received the final blow of the attack.
– Burter when deployed from Jeice & Burter’s close-range attack
– Recoome when deployed from Jeice and Burter’s close-range attack
– Recoome when deployed from Ginyu’s close-range attack.
Fixed an issue where Ki Blasts that are fired by Raider: Recoome while moving to the right would fire higher than the cursor’s position or the target that’s been locked on to.
Fixed an issue where during collisions between the charge motion of certain Super Attacks used by the Raider and close-range attacks used by a Survivor using a Dragon Change of a higher level, the Raider would unintentionally perform a counterattack motion and the Super Attack would not hit.
Fixed an issue in which the following attacks from the Raiders outlined below would not hit Survivors for a certain period of time if they were executed after the Raider made contact with the Trap Device active skill:
– Various Raiders’ close-range attacks
– Raider: Ginyu Force Evolution Stage 2: Recoome Kick active skill
