The latest game update, Patch 1.20.0, is now available across all platforms. Players will need to restart their game client to download and install the new content. This patch introduces fresh cosmetic options and implements significant balancing changes to a popular weapon, alongside several important bug fixes and an economy adjustment.
Players can look forward to new customization with the Rawhide Outfit and two brand new hairstyles. The most substantial changes in this update focus on weapon tuning. The development team has implemented a series of adjustments to the Il Toro shotgun, directly responding to community feedback regarding its power. The goal is to better align its performance with its intended rarity, making it less versatile at lower upgrade levels and more dependent on player investment in modifications.
Specific stat modifications include a reduction in pellet damage and base fire-rate, alongside an increase in weapon dispersion. Reload mechanics have also been tuned, with increases to both the total reload time and the timing for reload loops. Furthermore, the damage loss over distance has been increased. Collectively, these changes aim to emphasize strategic use of positioning and cover, rewarding precise timing over sheer volume of fire. The developers have noted they will monitor the weapon’s performance closely and are prepared to make further adjustments based on player data.
Several persistent technical issues have been resolved. A bug causing audio from destroyed Comets and Fireballs to linger has been fixed. Another problem where players could be forced through a wall and become stuck in the Dam Controlled Access Zone has been addressed. Additionally, missing collision detection near the east elevator and underneath pipes on the Spaceport map has been corrected.
An important economy change has been made regarding Energy Clips. Their sell price has been reduced from 1000 to 200 coins. The development note clarifies that this item had become an unintentionally highly profitable crafting option, and the price adjustment is intended to bring its value in line with other craftable goods.
