Raiders!
Update 1.45.0 is going live right now and with it a number of fixes, a new Raider Project, the start of the fifth Expedition, the Hornet Hunter Set and changes coming to Cred. Make sure to restart the game to get the download.
This will be our last Live Update before October 8, but we won't be going quiet in the meantime, a smaller update is still planned before then!
HIGHLIGHTS
Raider Project: Ascending the Mountain
The Hornet Hunter Set
Cred Expiration
Expedition 5
Community Rubber Ducks
Forging the Way North
Raider efforts have revealed clues to the mystery of phantom ARC signals that have Shani concerned. Unfortunately, these signals lead ARC to a place we can’t follow - the mountain range just beyond the reach of our Tube system. Rumor has it Apollo’s working on an experimental solution, and he’s requested assistance from Raiders who understand schematics, and can keep their heads down.
Cred Expiration
As we look ahead to Frozen Trail and a rework to Raider Decks, we’ll be making changes to the Cred currency. It will remain usable until October 8, so be sure to use any remaining Cred before then.
We are retiring Cred as a currency, as we’ll be introducing a more expansive reward system launching with the Frozen Trail Update. All existing Raider Deck rewards will also be available in the new system. You will keep any rewards you have already claimed at the time of the update.
Any Cred remaining on your account will expire with the Frozen Trail update, so please be sure to spend your Cred with Shani or on any remaining Raider Deck rewards.
Community Rubber Ducks
The community designed duckies that you have selected have finally made their way into the game! Head on over to Bird City and display them proudly in your Raider Den!
Again, huge congratulations to the designers: gekko.rar, im_AshCheeks and nassguhl!
Content and Bug Fixes
ARC
Snitch Scanners will now spawn ARC similarly to the regular Snitch, but with a lower chance for stronger ARC.
Audio
Fixed an issue where the Equalizer could play its firing sound effect when holstering.
Fixed an issue where voice chat did not work when Raider Voice was enabled.
Customization
The Boonie outfit will be available from September 15th.
Gameplay
Landing on moving surfaces will now make you follow that surface when landing, not while still in the air.
You can now rebind quick item cycling separately from the quick-use wheel (or disable cycling), and you may bind both to the same key. This helps prevent unintended item swaps after closing the wheel.
Fixed an issue where ARC Turbine mines could not be pinged.
Reduced weapon sway for Aphelion to improve aiming stability.
Starting an Expedition no longer resets your quests by default; you can now choose whether to reset them when departing.
Fixed an issue where the Matriarch’s stomp could damage players through tall cover or when standing on top of the Matriarch.
Stability
Fixed a crash on PS5 that could occur shortly after starting a session.
Fixed a crash that could occur when rapidly pressing certain keys during gameplay.
Fixed cases where a squad could become stuck after a squadmate signed out and rejoined, blocking ready-up and preventing matchmaking from starting.
Performance
Upgraded Unreal Engine from 5.3 to 5.7.
UI
The UI indicator showing the current weight of your loadout is now updated directly when dropping parts of a stack.
Added visual tweaks to selected nodes in the Skill Tree.
Fixed an issue where some distance based map markers didn't appear correctly.
The pick up prompt will now show “loadout full” while trying to pick up an item with a full inventory.
Improved matchmaking error messaging: you’ll now see clearer explanations if you go offline while queuing or if your crossplay settings are incompatible, helping diagnose failed matchmaking attempts.
KNOWN ISSUES
The second part of the Phantom Targets project could not be started for some players. We will be sending out compensation in a future update.
There are multiple stability improvements targeting Xbox Series S crashes. Please report any persistent issues to help guide further fixes.
We’re aware of issues with crashing on PC, related to Windows Update KB5121003. Please consult our workaround shared here while we work on a fix.
Players on Epic may experience a sudden loss of keyboard input.
While we look into this, we recommend disabling any Overlay you may have active. Additionally, you can try alt-tabbing out and back into the game.
The Rawhide headgear stays on with the toggle set to off. The throw animation may sometimes fail to play when attempting to detonate a Trigger ‘Nade immediately after throwing it.
The weapon swap animation may appear broken if weapon swapping right after vaulting.
Player animations may appear broken when interrupting a search of the Baron Husk.
Shredders float to the ceiling in some rooms of the Hidden Bunker.
Leapers can jump through the ARC Turbine.
Shots taken while riding ARC may not register correctly.
Some doors may allow player flashlights’ beams to pass through instead of blocking the emitted light.
We are aware of some clipping issues with the Triumph, Reaver and Azimuth outfits.
See you Topside,
