Hello Survivors,

We have a patch for you today that addresses a number of different issues with the game. We’ve also done a weapon balance pass, increasing the strength of some under-appreciated tools of destruction. Balancing weapons is a continuous task throughout development, so if you feel like your favorite weapon is still lacking some oomph, stay tuned.

Improvements & Fixes:

• Improved the Overclock UI communication
  
• UI adjustments for steam deck (in an effort to get Steam Deck Verified)
  
  • Fixed overlapping biome goal text on pause screen
    
  • Fixed class button overlap
    
  • Fixed too big weapon icon on class mod page
• Made status effect damage numbers more legible (they now animate differently from the rest)
  
• Potential fix to save games being reset after a game crash
  
• Typo fixes in source language

Weapon balance:

• All status effects:
  • Changed tick time from 1 to 0.5. This means that elemental effects stack up and trigger their damage faster, but also fall off faster. This is a buff to all status effect weapons
• CRSPR Flamethrower:
  • Increased rotation speed slightly
    
  • Increased the amount of burn stacks applied
• Zhukov NUK17:
  • Increased reload speed
• Subata 120:
  • Increased reload speed
• “Bulldog” Heavy Revolver:
  • Increased damage, reload speed and range
    
  • Reduced fire rate slightly
• Cryo Cannon:
  • Increased amount of Cryo stacks applied
• Corrosive Sludge Pump:
  • Increased status effects stacks on impact
    
  • Decreased status effects stacks on ground zone
• Krakatoa Sentinel:
  • Reduced the amount of burn stacks
    
  • (With the changed tick rate for all status effects, the Krakatoa Sentinel has overall been buffed)
• Neurotoxin Grenade
  • Increased initial damage and amount of corrosive stacks applied
