In Radiant Escalation, we’ve added legendary lantern amps that are only available when a particular lantern is equipped. While rare, these amps are extremely powerful and mix Escalation runs up in truly legendary ways. Koshai’s Bloom is the final lantern to receive an amp.
The Echo Bloom legendary amp is only available to Slayers who have the Koshai’s Bloom lantern equipped. It reduces the cooldown of Koshai’s Bloom by 500%.
BALANCE
SAHVYT
Increased Sahvyt’s overall health.
CHRONOVORE
Increased the health of Chronovore and Soulreaper Chronovore.
QUESTS
Quests in the quest chain “The Master” can now be completed either by reforging a weapon skill or by collecting an aetherheart.
BUG FIXES
VALOMYR
Fixed some issues where Valomyr’s beams wouldn’t hit players.
QUESTS
Fixed an issue where “Variant I” would incorrectly mark Coldrunner Key as the quest location, instead of Conundrum Rocks.
Fixed an issue where players could continue to receive break parts from a past event quest.
CHALLENGES
Fixed an issue where challenge objectives that tracked spending wouldn’t update as intended.
UI
Fixed an issue where quest type icons could overlap when displayed on some screens.
That’s about it. Once there’s a new Dauntless patch, we’ll let our readers know.
A surprise new Resident Evil Village upcoming update has just been announced. The update is adding several new accessibility options to the game for free and is coming alongside the Winters’ Expansion in October 2022.
The update is announced to add new toggles for the subtitles’ size, color, and background. It is also adding a permanent reticle, a Closed Captions option, and the speaker’s name in story mode.
The Resident Evil Village upcoming update is releasing for all users alongside the Winters’ Expansion DLC. The expansion is set to include new Mercenaries Additional Orders as well as the narrative-driven Shadows of Rose.
A free accessibility update for all Resident Evil Village users is coming alongside the Winters' Expansion and Gold Edition in October, adding:
– Subtitle size, color & background toggles – Speaker name display in story mode – Closed captions – Permanent reticle
While I don’t believe that Village has the greatest story for a Resident Evil game, everything else about it helps makes it standout as one of the more worthier titles. With stellar combat, and a world that is easy to get lost in with it’s beauty, Village feels like a huge step for the franchise. I am a bit bum that there is no VR support like RE7, but this did allow the team to really give the game their all on a technical level. It feels like a true next-gen experience, even on the older systems. Plenty to love about Village, and with multiple playthroughs under my belt, I just don’t see how anyone can skip out on this gem. To me, this feels like the evolutionary step that Resident Evil 2 took from the first game, only for Resident Evil 7. The first-person perspective is proven, and here to stay for the long haul.
The new Resident Evil Village Gold Edition and the Winters’ Expansion are now available for pre-order. Both are releasing on October 28, 2022, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam.

Improved the Quick Mark Functionality to now also include Legendary, Apocalypse Epic and Apocalypse Legendary rarities.
Changed the behaviour of the camera when sprinting to make the sprint behaviour between “Toggle” and “Hold to Sprint” consistent. The camera will no longer turn when players are sprinting.
ENDGAME CHANGES
Apocalypse Tier Grind Reduced
Apocalypse Tier Leveling
Starting from Apocalypse Tier 20, the requirement to level up each Apocalypse Tier has been reduced by 10%.
Crafting Costs Reduced. Resource Gains Increased.
Resources & Anomaly Extract
The amount of Anomaly Extract gained has generally been improved and the amount of Anomaly Extract gained in Tarya Gratar’s Troves has been increased by 500%.
A full run-through of Tarya Gratar (including Troves) should now net out at around double the amount of Anomaly Extract earned per run when compared to before this patch.
Boss-rushing the final Arbiter will net slightly more Anomaly Extract than before, but this will not be the most efficient route for Anomaly Extract farming.
Crafting and Upgrading
Starting at Item Level 50, the Anomaly Extract costs required to upgrade gear has been reduced by 5%.
Between the two above changes (Increased Gains and reduced Costs), players should be able to support upgrading two full sets of gear per Apocalypse Tier level. This should enable a greater amount of experimentations and limit the need to hoard resources in order to be able to upgrade the currently equipped set.
Apocalypse Gear Drop Rates
Starting at Apocalypse Tier 11, the “Increased chance for Apocalypse variant gear” has been increased for each Apocalypse Tier.
Expeditions Rewards Improved
Expeditions
Expedition Rewards have been increased in order to make Expeditions feel more viable alongside Tarya Gratar. The “Loot Gained per X Time Investment” should now feel quite similar between Expeditions and Tarya Gratar.
Players should now receive a greater amount of Epic and Legendary Items and comparatively fewer Rare items in Expeditions.
Anomaly Extract farming should now also feel much more viable to do in Expeditions.

BUG FIXES GEAR
Fixed a bug that prevented the Technomancer’s Grim Inventor set bonus from triggering consistently in combination with the Pain Launcher skill if there was only one rocket remaining in the RPG.
Fixed a bug that was causing Status Power provided by items to be multiplied instead of decreased as players increased their Apocalypse Tiers. This could unintentionally lead to increases as high as 700% Status power at Apocalypse Tier 40.
Fixed a bug that prevented the Mycologist’s Set from behaving properly in the Transmog menus.
Fixed a bug that allowed the game to drop a Headgear item called “Wraith’s Mask” for which there is no Transmog design.
BUG FIXES MODS

Fixed a bug that caused Skirmisher Warlords to appear on the Trial of Tarya Gratar’s score screen multiple times.
Fixed a bug that could cause the Arbiter to be locked in a melee attack loop if the player targeted them with the “Hunt the Prey” skill at a certain moment.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to interrupt Adherent enemy abilities with regular weapon shots.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to enter cover when affected by the Executioner’s Chain Lock ability.
Improved the consistency of the Shadowbeast’s Melee attack in relation to the claw’s VFX.
Fixed a bug that was causing co-op players to be momentarily held back if hit by a Forest Strix projectile.
Fixed a bug that allowed Vanquisher enemies to rotate while executing the “Suppressive Fire” skill.
Fixed a bug that caused Snow Behemoths to become idle if their “Rock Plower” skill was avoided by Devastators using the Gravity Leap skill.
Fixed a bug that could cause enemies to be stuck in an animation loop by players using the “Concentration Blast” mod or Pyromancers using the Overheat skill.
Fixed a bug that prevented the Crawler in the “Cliffside Path” arena from moving away from its spawn location.
Fixed multiple bugs that prevented Melee enemies from reaching players in certain locations.
Multiple Improvements to make the VFX of enemy abilities more consistently timed with their effects.

Multiple bug fixes related to quest progression blockers.
Various other minor bug fixes.
Crash Fixes
General Balance Changes
Apocalypse Tier Leveling
Starting from Apocalypse Tier 20, the requirement to level up each Apocalypse Tier has been reduced by 10%.
Resources & Anomaly Extract
The amount of Anomaly Extract gained has generally been improved and the amount of Anomaly Extract gained in Tarya Gratar’s Troves has been increased by 500%.
A full run-through of Tarya Gratar (including Troves) should now net out at around double the amount of Anomaly Extract earned per run when compared to before this patch.
Boss-rushing the final Arbiter will net slightly more Anomaly Extract than before, but this will not be the most efficient route for Anomaly Extract farming.

Starting at Item Level 50, the Anomaly Extract costs required to upgrade gear has been reduced by 5%.

This should enable a greater amount of experimentations and limit the need to hoard resources in order to be able to upgrade the currently equipped set.

Starting at Apocalypse Tier 11, the “Increased chance for Apocalypse variant gear” has been increased for each Apocalypse Tier.
Expeditions
Expedition Rewards have been increased in order to make Expeditions feel more viable alongside Tarya Gratar. The “Loot Gained per X Time Investment” should now feel quite similar between Expeditions and Tarya Gratar.
Players should now receive a greater amount of Epic and Legendary Items and comparatively fewer Rare items in Expeditions.
Anomaly Extract farming should now also feel much more viable to do in Expeditions.
Balance Changes – Devastator
Earthen Shell
Added a 0.5 second cooldown.
Note that due to a display rounding quirk in the engine, this cooldown will be displayed as being 1 second. It is, however, 0.5 seconds in actuality.
Greatly increased shield generation values.
Explanation:
Earthen Shell has been identified as being slightly too strong, so we’re applying a brief cooldown to the shield generation that was being abused through excessive animation cancelling. This will give some enemies a little more opportunity to be able to damage Devastators, who were otherwise immortal. We have compensated the implementation of the cooldown with an increased Shield generation per skill used so that Earthen Shell will still provide great value but without the potential for abuse.
Multistrike
Stored damage is now capped at 700% of Anomaly Power.
Explanation:
Multistrike’s untamed potency has been a topic of discussion since the launch of Worldslayer. In an attempt to not completely gut its numbers, we have applied a cap to add a movable (through Anomaly Power) ceiling to the node.
Terms of Engagement
Stored damage is now capped at 700% of Anomaly Power.
Explanation:
Much like Multistrike, Terms of Engagement suffered from a bug that allowed players to store up an unlimited amount of damage and then release it as a one-hit kill against any enemy in the game, including bosses. Our approach has been the same as with Multistrike, whereby we have applied a cap to the total amount of damage these nodes can store.
Finishing Touch
Increased the Ammo-to-Weapon Damage coefficient provided by this node.
Explanation:
As part of our drive to make Firepower Devastators more viable, we are increasing the conversion of missing ammo to Weapon Damage by upping the value to more than it’s previous 1:1 relation.
Impact Point
Increased damage scaling from 30% to 50% of Anomaly Power.
Explanation:
This buff forms part of the overall power shift this patch is introducing for Devastators. The overall aim is to move the Devastator meta way from it’s current form and instead open up multiple new viable options for play.
Obliteration
Increased base Anomaly Power and Resistance Piercing from 6% to 10%.
Explanation:
Obliteration is being buffed to make it a more competitive choice when considered against Puncture. This buff forms part of the overall power shift this patch is introducing for Devastators. The overall aim is to move the Devastator meta way from it’s current form and instead open up multiple new viable options for play.
Upheaval
Increased the percentage of stored damage from 10% to 15%.
Fixed a couple of bugs that caused the Devastator’s “Upheaval” Pax node to act in unexpected and inconsistent ways, such as acting differently when triggered by the Impale skill.
Explanation:
As we have applied a cap to Multistrike and a bug fix will now make Upheaval only store the activating player’s own damage (as was always intended), we are increasing the amount of stored damage as part of the overall Devastator power shift.
Elitism
Fixed a bug that prevented the Devastator Pax node “Elitism” from correctly working on Bosses.
Reduced the cooldown on Elitism from 5 seconds to 1 second.
Explanation:
The bug fix supported the node’s core purpose: providing power when fighting Elite and Boss enemies. However, during our analysis of Elitism’s usage and behaviour, we identified that its previous uptime was clocked at around 50% at best. Reducing it’s cooldown should allow players to maintain Elitism almost perpetually when fighting elites and bosses.
Overwhelming Force
Increased Armor-to-Damage conversion from 40% to 60%.
Explanation:
Overwhelming Force’s conversion is being buffed in order to incite more players into trying playstyles it supports while also providing a competitive synergy between this Pax node and changes we have made to some Devastator Legendary Sets.
Paladin / Champion
Removed the PROTECTION keyword requirement and changed both nodes to activate on any skill.
Explanation:
After long discussions, we came to the conclusion that in order to truly unlock Devastator build variety, we had to remove the hindering factor of Protection keyword on both of these multiplier nodes. This change is part of our overall power shift to make more Devastator sets and playstyles more viable.
Mighty Tank
Increased the percentage cap from 40% to 50% for both Anomaly Power and Firepower.
Explanation:
We are raising the ceiling for Warden Devastators so they can reap more benefits from fully committing to Armor stacking.
Despair
Reduced the percentage of it’s Anomaly Damage multiplier from 100% to 30%.
Explanation:
Despair-empowered Gravity Leap has dominated the Devastator meta as an omni-tool since Worldslayer launched. It has providing both uncontested survivability and damage debuffs while also being a powerful gap closer. While the survivability is a unique characteristic of Gravity Leap, with Worldslayer we introduced a systemic solution to debuff mods. At the time, we equalized them across the board to 30%, but Despair was the single outlier. This led to the Anomaly Power Devastator meta becoming extremely static, with the most dominant build continuing to be “Leapquake”, as it already was during the base game’s lifecycle. This was the result of being able to access both the old Paladin node and Despair at the same time and acquire effects that other build permutations could not achieve. Today’s change removes the ‘must have’ nature of Gravity Leap, allowing it to be traded with other skills that can provide a comparable debuff. Coupled with Unshackled, Paladin should greatly expand the Devastator build variety.
Bullet Acceleration
Increased base damage from 33 to 60.
Explanation:
With Paladin and Champion unshackled from the Protection keyword, we are keen to add offensive value to Reflect Bullet, so that it is not a lost and abandoned skill. This should give players incentive to keep the skill for its full duration.
The Strongest First
Increased damage to the enemy with the highest HP from 50% to 75%.
Explanation:
With Paladin and Champion unshackled from the Protection keyword, we are keen to add offensive value to Reflect Bullet, so that it is not a lost and abandoned skill. This should give players incentive to keep the skill for its full duration.
Primal Chain
Increased the damage provided by the Primal Chain mod from 10% to 15%.
Explanation:
This change will provide an extra nudge for Anomaly Power builds focusing on the Boulderdash skill to make them more viable given the nature of the skill and within the context of Terms of Engagement being capped.
Bannerlord Legendary Set
Added extra functionality that provides 35% Anomaly Power bonus.
Note: Fundamental changes made to any gear pieces may not apply to existing items, due to the way the game spawns and stores loot. Any newly dropped gear pieces should include the stated changes if the existing items remain unaffected.
Explanation:
The Seismic Commander set has long been the dominant Devastator pick due to it’s multipliers, required skill sets and its effective values concerning cooldown reduction when compared against damage multipliers. Giving the Bannerlord set extra Anomaly Power should help make it more competitive against the Seismic Commander set.
Marshal Legendary Set
Increased both percentages of shared Physical and Anomaly damage from 30% to 50%.
Explanation:
As mentioned in the Bannerlord explanation, the Seismic Commander set is too much of a powerful all-rounder, which prevents other sets from being considered viable. Our philosophy believes that sets that fill a certain niche (such as the Marshal set) should excel in their tailored environments and should visibly outperform jack of all trades sets such as Seismic Commander.
Concussioner Legendary Set
Primary attribute switched to Bonus Firepower.
Secondary attributes switched to contain Close Range Damage and Status Power.
Note: Fundamental changes made to any gear pieces may not apply to existing items, due to the way the game spawns and stores loot. Any newly dropped gear pieces should include the stated changes if the existing items remain unaffected.
Explanation:
The Concussioner set suffered from a severe case of identity crisis. The set was initially designed as an Anomaly Power bruiser, but progression layers within certain Pax nodes were not cooperating with the set’s premise. We have decided to shift the set to support Firepower builds in the same way the Deathproof set might. For both of these sets, damage is generated primarily from Armor stacking and the set bonus’ effect. This change for the Concussioner set should also unlock better synergy with the Pax nodes through the Overwhelming Force path.
Statue’s Legs Slot
Item now provides Bonus Firepower instead of Max Health.
Note: Fundamental changes made to any gear pieces may not apply to existing items, due to the way the game spawns and stores loot. Any newly dropped gear pieces should include the stated changes if the existing items remain unaffected.
Explanation:
With Worldslayer we rolled out changes to attributes for legendary sets to make them more coherent and appealing to players. This change is the ‘finishing touch’ of those efforts.
Balance Changes – Technomancer
Lethal Devices
Added a 0.2 second cooldown to this nodes secondary effect.
Explanation:
Lethal Device’s secondary effect was fairly overwhelming when used with a few builds that capitalized on an excessive amount of damage events occurring within a second. This change should control the excessive amount of events slightly without killing the node’s damage effect.
Twin Reaper
Increased Echo damage from 25% to 35%.
Fixed a bug that prevented the Technomancer’s “Twin Reaper” Pax node from functioning properly after loading into a level.
Explanation:
In order to stimulate the Sniper archetype presence, we are increasing the Echo damage provided by Twin Reaper in order to support the fantasy of precise sniper shots being a deadly threat.
Kinetic Converter
Reduced cooldown from 5 to 1 second.
Explanation:
The healing path for Technomancers has long been underrepresented, so we are increasing this Pax node’s frequency to ensure the benefit for Overhealing occurs more often and can more effectively be utilized in combat.
Hastened Influence
Increased the cooldown reduction from 0.5 to 1 second.
Explanation:
We feel the node didn’t really hasten a Technomancer’s influence over enemies and are therefore giving it a boost. Winter is coming.
Burrowing Charge
Reduced cooldown from 5 to 3 seconds.
Explanation:
Burrowing Charge is performing well in terms of numbers so we’re targeting the occurrence rate to make it more fluent during hectic multi-enemy encounters.
Blightfire
Fixed a bug that caused the Technomancer’s Flame Leper’s Blightfire set bonus to consume and trigger off of Toxic that had been applied by other players, which in turn denied those players their application of Toxic.
Fixed a bug that prevented Toxic multiplier mods from correctly working when applied to Blightfire.
Explanation:
Shit was broken. We fixed it.
Downpour Legendary Set
Increased clusters scaling from 100% to 115% of Anomaly Power.
Explanation:
We are increasing the cluster scaling as compensation for some still visible issues with targeting, travel time and detonation time of Scrapnel.
Balance Changes – Pyromancer
Carbon Footprint
Increased cooldown reduction from 0.5 to 1 second
Explanation:
The Immobilize path in the Pax skill tree is underrepresented so we are increasing the cooldown reduction from weaving both Immobilize skills to stimulate builds relying on constant Ash application.
Carbonization
Increased damage multiplier from 20% to 25%.
Explanation:
The Immobilize path in the Pax skill tree is underrepresented so we are increasing the cooldown reduction from weaving both Immobilize skills to stimulate builds relying on constant Ash application.
Convection
Reduced cooldown reduction from 4 to 2 seconds.
Explanation:
Convection launched in an undesired state with improper values. As a result of this, it has completely overshadowed the Arsonist path due to the positive feedback loop it generates. We are shifting its nature slightly to chip away cooldowns instead of fully resetting them. Low cooldowns and Skills on Tap remain one of Outriders Worldslayer’s key tenets, but launch-day Convection went too far down this path.
Arsonist
Reduced cooldown from 5 to 4 seconds.
Explanation:
Arsonist has been overshadowed by Convection, which fulfilled the former’s role entirely in the short cooldown environment Worldslayer introduced. In order to make Arsonist a more appealing choice, we are trimming Convection and increasing frequency of Arsonist through reduced cooldowns. Increasing the percentage chance to proc would be counterproductive to the node’s nature and its maximum gain, which is refreshing as many skills as possible.
Solar Flare
Increased Critical Damage per stack from 10% to 15%.
Explanation:
Similarly to the Immobilize paths struggles, the Critical path was overshadowed by Bullet Frenzy. We are increasing the Crit Damage multiplier to make it a more appealing and competitive choice.
Critical Mass
Increased duration from 2 to 5 seconds
Explanation:
Critical Mass was designed to be a baked-in Embalmer’s Rage and was meant to offer a competitive choice to Bullet Frenzy, but this was not achieved at launch. We are providing more leeway to this node through it’s increased duration, so that players can enjoy guaranteed Crit Shots for longer periods of time while also offsetting troubles with scoring a Critical Shot on beast enemies or very mobile humanoids.
Master Exploder
Reduced conversion rate from 100% to 50%.
Explanation:
Master Exploder has been overperforming when combined with the amount of Resistance Piercing players are gathering from multiple sources. Master Exploder completely outshined Trigger Sequence. We are committing to a power shift inside the branch, relaying power from Master Exploder into Trigger Sequence to make the apex node an appealing choice.
Backdraft
Reduced Anomaly Power ramp per stack from 30% to 25%.
Explanation:
Trigger Sequence has been overshadowed by the value brought by Backdraft. We are trimming a bit of power in Backdraft and compensating Trigger Sequence in order to make it a more desired node.
Trigger Sequence
Increased damage ramp per stack from 25% to 35%.
Explanation:
As stated in the Master Exploder notes, Trigger Sequence has been overshadowed by combination of an interim node and the Coming in Hot node. While we do not want to curtail players’ freedom of selection which Pax nodes they choose, we do still strive to make apex nodes provide the highest benefit so that using them feels worthwhile.
Burnt Offerings
Increased damage ramp per tick from 10% to 20%.
Explanation:
Burnt Offerings is ramping too slowly in the encounter pacing that emerged post launch, so we are expediting it to make the node reach considerable amounts of damage from Burn Offerings faster and more reliably.
Wildfire / Conduction
Fixed a bug that prevented the “Wildfire” and “Conduction” Pyromancer skill tree nodes from being effective if players were pushing the limits of their Cooldown Reduction.
Explanation:
The nodes were not working as intended and was being diminished by the global cooldown reduction cap which is achieved rather easily in Worldslayer.
Mark of the Anomaly
Increased the damage against Marked enemies 10% to 12%.
Explanation:
This is part of an overall change in which we are providing some extra power across all Firepower builds in the base game’s Class Trees.
Susceptibility
Reduced Resistance reduction from 40% to 30%
Explanation:
In Worldslayer, we introduced a systemic solution to Resistance reduction mods, but Susceptibility evaded that adjustment. We are amending that in order to even it out with mods such as Asunder.
Reforged Legendary Set
Increased Thermal Bomb damage from 100% to 200%.
Increased Feed the Flames damage from 100% to 200%.
Explanation:
The niche that Reforged was filling was overtaken with the introduction of the Heatseeker set. We are therefore looking to differentiate them by making Reforged play around BIG Thermal Bombs in comparison to the MANY Thermal Bombs that Heatseeker provides. Additionally, this change is another step in making Feed the Flames a competitive choice for Anomaly Power builds who want to play around single target / cleave profile.
Torturer Legendary Set
Increased damage shared from 30% to 50%.
Explanation:
Similarly to the Marshal set, we want to make niche sets excel in their designated environment (for the Torturere set this is the “Cleave” environment), without letting them be outperformed by ‘jack of all trades’ sets.
Balance Changes – Trickster
Quantum Entanglement
Increased shared damage from 20% to 30%.
Explanation:
Quantum Entanglement is currently competing with the Pain Transfer mod and much to our dismay it consistently loses the arms race. We are therefore increasing its value so it can shine as THE cleave node while also alleviating the overwhelming need to play with Time Rift.
Special Tactics
Increased duration from 3 to 5 seconds.
Explanation:
We are adding a bit of breathing room for players running Special Tactics when searching for new Elites on the battlefield so that they can keep stacking the ramp.
Cheap Shot
Increased debuff duration from 5 to 10 seconds.
Increased Armor/Resistance shred from 30% to 40%.
Explanation:
Cheap Shot is greatly underrepresented so we are adding duration and increasing shred capacity to allow players a bigger scope of debuffing enemies across the battlefield while also allowing the debuff to last longer without players having to get up close and personal every few seconds.
Spectral Spike
Cooldown reduced from 1 to 0.5 sec
Explanation:
Similarly to the Pyromancer’s Burnt Offerings change, we are shortening the time for the Spectral Spike’s ramp to reach its max potency. This should make the buildup more fluent in the emergent Worldslayer combat pacing.
Temporal Blade
Base cooldown reduced from 19.8 to 16.8.
Explanation:
We looked at Anomaly Power builds which run on a singular damage source (Temporal Blade) and this change is a slight push to make its combat loop more fluent through faster access to Temporal Blade.
Wind Slash
Increased base damage from 6.5 to 13.
Explanation:
Cyclone Slice is having a hard time fitting into the Worldslayer environment so we’re giving it a boost to base damage to make it a more viable choice.
Slow Trap
Cooldown reduced from 10 to 8 seconds
Explanation:
This change is another step in making Slow Trap more portable for the dynamic playstyles that the Trickster represents.
Terminal Velocity Legendary Set
Weapon Damage bonus increased from 60% to 80%.
Explanation:
Firepower Tricksters are underperforming slightly in comparison to Anomaly Power Tricksters
Balance Changes – All Classes
Maxwell’s Demon Legendary Set
Fixed an issue with the set bonus only accounting for Bonus Firepower instead of Total Firepower.
Explanation:
The Maxwell’s Demon set was drawing from only a part of the player’s Firepower which was not the intended outcome. This fix increases the power of the bonus.
Trigger Twitch Legendary Set
Increased the Firepower coefficient from 40% to 280%.
Fixed a bug that prevented the Trigger Twitch set from prioritizing targets properly.
Explanation:
Trigger Twitch was launched with incorrect values, making the set severely underperform. This is an adjustment to bring it to the intended power level.
Mage’s Rage
Fixed a bug that was causing unforeseen issues with the amount of stacks and the Anomaly Power calculation
Fixed a bug that was preventing stacks from dropping away as intended when player’s swapped weapons
Explanation:
Mage’s Rage provided over twice of what it was supposed to give in terms of Anomaly Power. This change sets the mod into the right place power-wise. While this change may feel significant for any players who were exclusively relying on Mage’s Rage, our overall balancing has ensured that not all the excess power has been lost. Rather, it has flowed into other mods and combinations in order to provide a greater spread of viable builds.
Self-Medication
Fixed a bug that caused the “Self-Medication” mod to fully restore players’ health every time it triggered.
Increased the Max HP increase provided by Self-Medication from 10% to 20% for every skill on cooldown.
Explanation:
This is a simple bug fix, as the mod was clearly acting different to what it’s description said. The buff is made to compensate for the output loss as a result of the bug fix.
No Resistance Against the Fortified
Reduced conversion rate from 100% to 65%.
Explanation:
No Resistance Against The Fortified (NRAF) was launched with unintentionally high value. However, after seeing how dominant it has since become in builds, we are only trimming some of its power instead of fully reverting it. This change should diminish the ease of exceeding 100% Resistance Piercing, which was the main cause of unintended, unfixable damage increases.
Dark Sacrifice
Reduced Health drain from 50% to 25%.
Increased damage boost from 25% to 35%.
Explanation:
Dark Sacrifice was hit too hard with the launch of Worldslayer so we are restoring some of its power while also reducing the amount of drain.
Killing Spree
Increased damage boost per stack from 10% to 13%.
Increased duration from 8 to 15 seconds.
Explanation:
Similarly to Dark Sacrifice, Killing Spree was hit too hard with the launch of Worldslayer so we are restoring some of the power it lost.
Fortress
Increased damage boost from 20% to 25% at max stacks
Explanation:
We are restoring some of the offensive power it previously lost, so that the mod can keep up with other amplifier mods that are getting buffed with this patch.
First Things First
Reduced Armor Piercing value from 50% to 30%.
Explanation:
We previously increased the value on First Things First but this had led to the overbearing gameplay patterns of players intentionally not shooting guns at all. We tackled this to an extent when reworking Fortress last November. With that in mind, we have reduced the value of First Things First to encourage more active gunplay, as we want players to go into combat thinking about what they’re doing rather than relying on stat sticks and skill spam.
Tactical Retreat
Increased base damage from 54 to 62.
Explanation:
We are increasing damage of this mod to make it more competitive with golden standard mods like Thunder’s Legacy. As Tactical Retreat requires additional planning and effort in using the mod effectively, it should feel rewarding to rely on.
Shock and Awe
Increased range from 5 to 10 m.
Fixed a bug that caused the “Shock and Awe” mod to trigger more often than intended.
Explanation:
We are increasing range to make the mod compete better with similar mods from the same category which do not require being struck by enemies.
Embalmers Rage
Reverted this mod back to being a Kill Shot mod, rather than a Critical Shot mod.
Explanation:
At launch of Worldslayer, most Kill Shot mods were converted into Critical Shot mods for a variety of reasons. Following Community feedback and given the nature of Embalmer’s Rage, it makes sense for this to return to being a Kill Shot mod.
Anomaly Power class nodes
Increased Anomaly Power value from 10% to 15%.
Explanation:
As part of our compensation for power vacuum created by fixing Mage’s Rage, we are amplifying the class nodes to return part of the power lost.
Weapon Damage class nodes
Increased Weapon Damage value from 8% to 15%.
Explanation:
This change is intended to bring Firepower builds across all classes in line with Anomaly Power builds.
There’s also a detailed explanation of the balance changes, which players can read about here.
Heads up, Call of Duty players! While Raven Software just launched Season 4 Reloaded for COD Warzone yesterday, the studio has released COD Warzone update for July 28, and this one includes more weapon tuning changes. This is a server-side update, and requires no download. Read on for the official list of changes made.
COD Warzone Update for July 28 Patch Notes:
WEAPONS:
Weapon Adjustments
We’ve seen a positive change in kill metrics since the update to Snipers in Season Three. The intent was to lean into smaller maps favoring the Aggressive Snipers vs Heavier being more suited for the large map. Our data shows that despite a smaller adoption rate (~9.5%) Snipers are still being accredited with a competitive amount of kills vs the more popular class of Weapons.
However, we’d like to lean into the Weapon to map identity harder, and as such all Snipers are receiving roughly a 35% bonus to their maximum damage range. Lighter rifles, with their damage range builds, will now more reliably cover the typical sight lines found in Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep. The goal is to not return to the fastest ADS Snipers being the dominant Weapon in all scenarios – so if things begin to trend that way we will make targeted changes to other statistics of those stand-out Weapons.

Max Damage Range increased to 72 meters, up from 48 meters

Max Damage Range increased to 49 meters, up from 36 Meters
PERKS:
Serpentine
Damage Reduction decreased to 15%, down from 20%
We’ve seen a positive adoption of Serpentine in Loadouts, and as such average encounter time has crept up. We’re reducing the bonus damage mitigation so that it’s still a valuable perk, but has less of an impact on average TTK. We’ll be watching this space closely and will make further adjustments as necessary.
BUG FIXES:
Fixed an issue on Fortune’s Keep causing the gas to be more difficult to see than intended.
Fixed an issue that allowed Players to exploit Weapon Trade Stations.
Fixed an issue causing Deployable Buy Stations to remain active in the gas – allowing for unintended exploits.
Fixed an issue that caused the Skål Crusher (VG) to not have a Zombies Mastery Camo section available.
Fixed an issue causing incorrect unlock criteria to appear for the “The Vault” Vehicle skin in the Vehicle Customization menu.
Fixed collision issues with the AI mercenaries during the Cash Extraction Event on Fortune’s Keep.
That’s about it. If there’s a new update released for Warzone, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Ubisoft has rolled out For Honor update 2.37, which is for the big 2.37.1 patch that brings new fighter Medjay, alongside gameplay improvements and more! Read on for the full For Honor July 28 patch notes down below.
For Honor Update 2.37 Patch Notes | For Honor Update 2.37.1 Patch Notes | For Honor July 28 Patch Notes:
Size: PS4: 1.7 Gb, Xbox One: 2.1 Gb, PC: 2.1 Gb
NEW HERO – MEDJAY
When his friend Bolthorn stole the Scarab Bracelet from the desert kingdom, Neferkha knew what would happen next. He left his homeland to chase the Raider, following the relic’s trail of waste and death to its heart in Valkenheim. There Neferkha found Bolthorn, a cursed shell of his former self. An epic battle ensued – with Neferkha ultimately besting his friend. Rather than killing the Viking, Neferkha spared his life and removed the Bracelet to lift the curse. Having witnessed the relic’s destruction, Neferkha had realized the jewel belonged to a different time and place; it was simply to dangerous, even for himself, the last heir of the Pharaohs. The Medjay left Valkenheim so it might begin to heal. He became a mercenary to buy his way back home, where he would return the Bracelet to its resting place.
Difficulty: Hard
Weapon Transform
Dual Fighting Styles
Good Melee Range in Staff Mode
Special Capabilities
Unique dual utility feats
Unstoppable infinite chain in Staff mode
High aggression and speed in Axes mode
Stays in current mode when hit, unlike other multi-mode heroes
IMPROVEMENTS
Match End Flow
All screens shown after completing a match have been redesigned for improved legibility, clearer progression information, and with less disruptive animations so it is quicker to reach the options for the next match.
NEW OPTION: Deactivate the Parry Flash Indicator (in Arena, and all Custom Match Game Modes)
Players can now deactivate the Parry Flash Indicator, which usually flashes at the correct timing to Parry an attack, in the Arena as well as during Custom Games.
This option appears in the Arena under “Arena -> Arena Settings -> Parry Flash Indicator”, and in the Custom Game Match under “Custom Game -> Game Mode -> Parry Flash Indicator”
Developer’s Comment:Competitive players in the Dominion Series have been requesting this option for some time. Adding this option is meant to reduce the efficiency of players who have exceptional reaction times and to limit certain kinds of cheats.
We specifically add this as an Option only in Custom Games and Arena so that competitive play can intentionally remove the parry flash to improve the level of offense in their games.
Normal matchmaking games continue to have the Parry Flash to help players learn the sense of timing to Parry attacks.
Out Of Stamina (OOS) State is now less punishing
Stamina Pause no longer applies on players who are Out of Stamina
Stamina is now fully refilled when getting up from the Unbalanced state
Developer’s Comment:Previously, players in the OOS could conceivably be forced to stay in that state until killed. If your opponent had a quick Dodge Forward Bash attack, they could continually bash you to keep your stamina from ever refilling, while slowly killing you and limiting your options. By removing Stamina Pause while OOS, you should be able to get out of OOS more reliably, which should be less frustrating.
Similarly, we’ve now given back full Stamina whenever you get up from the Unbalanced state. The intent is that if you’ve been unbalanced, the opponent should have a single good opportunity for a punish, but not more than one. Out of Stamina punishes are typically the highest damaging punishes available – while we want players to have an opportunity for a big punish when their opponent overextends, the reward could be larger than intended when the opponent remained Out of Stamina and could be unbalanced for another large punish. This change should address this concern and make becoming Out of Stamina less frustrating.
Improvement to Targetable Feats thrown at a Locked target who is Dodging or has the Stealth feat active
Targetable Feats are no longer affected by Stealth and should correctly track opponents who have the Stealth feat active
Targetable Feats now track Dodging opponents better, especially Grenade-type feats, which could be thrown off-target by a large amount.
Developer’s Comment:We’re changing how Targetable Feats interact with Stealth and Dodging opponents to make the feats more consistent.
When an opponent had Stealth active, Targetable Feats would miss at moments where they did not feel like they should (ie. Your opponent was walking sideways). This makes the Feats more consistent in their tracking of Stealth opponents and no longer have Stealth be a hard counter to Targetable Feats.
Similarly, some Targetable feats, such as Grenade-type feats, had a tracking issue when used against a Dodging opponent, where they would land in unexpected locations. With this change, they should land as expected at the opponent even if they Dodge.
Targetable Feats are still able to be Dodged, but the result of the feats should be more consistent with the anticipated behavior.

Double Eleven has released Rust update 1.43, which is an unannounced title update. Don’t expect any new content from this patch. Read on for what’s new in the Rust July 28 patch notes.
Oddly enough, Double Eleven has not acknowledged today’s title update just yet, but the dev team has touched upon an update releasing on July 28 (today) for the monthly wipe! Here’s the studio’s message about it from the latest dev blog:
With the majority of the team working on Oceanbound, this monthly wipe will NOT have a significant update with it. Like we mentioned before, we want to stay focused so we can release this new content as soon as possible.
The minor patch releasing on the 28th will be available to download at 11AM UTC. It will come a lot sooner than usual to give enough time to the ones who need to download it before the wipe starts. (This minor patch will not bring the Cargo Ship to the main branch. Like we mention before, that feature is still being worked on)
With the Monthly Wipe we will also have a new skin rotation, and now it’s a great time to show you what the upcoming packs look like ahead of time!
Let us know what you think. The packs will be available after the monthly wipe at 6PM UTC.
The devs also talked about the next major update incoming which is called “Oceanbound,” which you can read about here.

There is no word on what firmware version this new beta will be called, but we do have a list of the important features incoming,
New PS5 Beta Features:
New Gameplay and Personalization Options
1440p HDMI Video Output

You can now listen to and compare the difference between 3D and stereo audio on the same screen, and then choose your preferred setting.
Easier Access to In-progress Activities
When resuming a game, in-progress activities are often shown prominently at the top of the game hub to make it as easy and as fast as possible to get back to where you left off.
New Social Features
Request Share Screen
You can now request party members to start Share Screen to watch their gameplay. Go to the voice chat card, select the party member you want to send the request to, and then select [Request Share Screen].

Polyphony Digital has not released the official patch notes just yet, but here are the officially announced new content being released today from yesterday’s announcement:
Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 ’84
An extraordinary Skyline that stood out in races of the 1980’s.
The Skyline Super Silhouette is one of the most iconic cars from this series, with a look that is far from ordinary to say the least. Sporting a chin spoiler that extends far forward of the car almost scraping the tarmac, fenders expanded to extreme levels in both the front and rear, combined with a large rear wing, it was powered by a 2.1 litre 4 cylinder turbocharged racing engine called the LZ20B. Often spitting flames out of its exhaust located just below the left hand door, it was an incredible presence on the track that completely mesmerized car enthusiasts and race fans of its day.
Maserati A6GCS/53 Spyder ’54
A beautiful streamlined 2-seater sportscar that won the Gran Turismo Trophy.
Every August in the U.S., the most beautiful cars from throughout all of car history are gathered for the world famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The 2014 winner of the Gran Turismo Trophy, just one of the awards available, was this Maserati A6GCS/53 Spyder, chassis No. 2078. The A6 was the designation for a series of 6-cyclinder racing cars developed by Maserati from 1947 to 1956. The GCS, intended for sports car championship competition, started out resembling a 2-seater version of the classic cigar shaped grand prix cars. However, after regulations changed in 1953, a number of coachbuilders began to fashion their own designs for the tubular frame.
Porsche 918 Spyder ’13
This super sports car is a reinterpretation of the glorious Carrera GT as a plug-in hybrid.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is a supercar introduced by Porsche in 2011. A successor to the Carrera GT, production was limited to 918 cars. The most notable aspect of the car is that it is actually a plug-in hybrid. A 599 BHP 4.6L V8 engine based on the engine from the RS Spyder prototype race car is mounted in the mid-ship position with a single electric motor in the rear, resulting in a total system output of 873 BHP. This incredible performance when combined with the optional Weissach Package allows the car to reach 62.1 mph in 2.6s, 124.3 mph in 7.2s and 186.4 mph in just 19.9s. Advertised as having a top speed of 214.4 mph, it was able to set a lap time of 6:57 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll be sure to update the post, so sit tight!
