- Decreased damage dealt to the Pain Elemental
Tormentor (Chain Spear Meathook Orbit Upgrade)
- Against Heavy demons, Superheavy demons, or the Henchman
-
- Too many consecutive uses of Tormentor in a short period of time will apply diminishing returns on max time and angle for orbiting the target, eventually leading to the post-orbit lock-on being disabled as well

- Damage dealt is reduced while Tormentor is active
Dreadmace
- When Riposte upgrade is active (with 2nd Dreadmace swing available), the backhand swing will now play first
Levels
Osseus
- In the End Game Praetor Fight, updated late-encounter Cyberdemons spawn conditions and defense roles to make them more impactful
Bug Fixes
Chain Spear

Ripatorium
- Fixed an issue in Osseus arena where Archviles would rarely teleport outside the map near the water section

Cinematics
- Fixed an issue where the cinematic before Marok’s Phase 3 was missing the vignetting border VFX
UI

Levels
Hell’s Core
- Fixed an issue that allowed the player to use the flamethrower cart to easily kill the Revenant Leader
- Fixed an issue where picking up the Blue Skull Key before the checkpoint fired was causing the player to become trapped in the room upon reload/death
Chasm of Xal’Goroth
- Fixed an issue where attempting to mantle onto platform pieces that were returning to their original positions could cause the player to clip into the ceiling
Osseus
- Fixed an issue where pressing ‘Use’ at the location of the Confessional Stone in End Game could permanently break the player’s save if used
Crashes
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur during Atlan gameplay sequences
- Fixed a crash that could occur during combat in Proving Grounds on PlayStation 5
Expect another update, as there are still known issues regarding the Chasm of Xal’Goroth, and more, which should be addressed in a future patch.
