Highguard’s First Update Released a Day After Release as Patch 1.002
Wildlight Entertainment has pushed out te first client-side update for free-to-play shooter, Highguard, and given it was released a day after launch, don’t expect it to include any balance changes.
Console gamers will see the download as Highguard update 1.002 (complete version 1.002.000), and this is a small download that focuses on technical issues more than anything else.
Highguard Receives First Client Update on January 27
According to Wildlight Entertainment, they have pushed out “a client update for all platforms to address various stability issues.” While not a major update, this is still something the game needs, as console and PC players have reported a ton of crashing issues and the game has issues running.
Those on PC, unfortunately, this patch is a big one, as players are saying that it’s 18 GB, which is insane for a stability update.
The developers added that they are investigating issues and expect to roll out more patches throughout the week.
If you’re still on the fence whether to try it, it’s free-to-play! Here’s a brief rundown of the game’s features to know what you’re getting into:
- Teams of three select a unique base and fortify their defenses, then ride out across vast, uncharted lands to loot, harvest resources, and upgrade their gear while clashing with a rival Warden crew.
- As magical storms roll in, teams battle over the Shieldbreaker, a powerful sword required to breach enemy defenses. Carrying the Shieldbreaker to the opposing base triggers a full raid—forcing teams to attack, defend, adapt, and escalate in power as the match continues.
- Most of the time, victory doesn’t come with a single raid. When that happens, the enemy base shields repair, the siege tower dissipates, and the fight escalates as loot, gear, and weapons all upgrade in the field, and a new Shieldbreaker forms in a different location in the world. From there, the fight for control continues—until only one base is left standing.
Once the next update is released, we’ll let our readers know.
