Update 1.18.0 has been released, introducing several key changes and improvements to enhance gameplay. Players should restart their clients to access the new patch. This update addresses various issues that impacted gameplay, particularly concerning item management and the drop rates of valuable resources.
Key Updates in Patch 1.18.0
One of the significant changes in this update is the resolution of an exploit related to weapon storage. Players previously could add weapons to a safe pocket without utilizing the Safekeeper Augment. This issue has now been fixed.
Fixed Issues and Performance Enhancements
- Resolved an issue with the Snaphook being stored in a safe pocket while active.
- Addressed performance drop problems related to certain ARC elements.
- Fixed a completion issue regarding the quest “Worth Your Salt,” which affected players if another participant had already completed it within the same raid.
- Corrected a rare bug that would cause crashes when accessing the Player Proximity menu.
Drop Rate Adjustments
Another important aspect of this patch is the adjustment of drop rates. The drop rate of rare blueprints has been slightly decreased. In contrast, the drop rate for high-tier materials within First Wave Caches on the Hurricane map has been increased.
The development team noted that the First Wave Caches were providing an excess of blueprints, thanks to players’ improved tracking and looting skills. This change aims to balance resource distribution, ensuring that while players may find fewer blueprints, they will receive better materials in exchange. Players can still expect to discover blueprints in caches, although the frequency of finding 3-5 blueprints per session will be reduced.
Additional Fixes
A hotfix has also been implemented for the Dam Controlled Access Zone, further improving the overall stability and performance of the game.
With these changes, players can look forward to a more balanced and enjoyable experience. Stay tuned for further updates!
