Patch Notes

Patch Notes 14/3

Weapons

• We removed a work in progress weapon that was not properly named and balanced.
• Crossbows now deal explosive damage to multiple objects as intended
• Exotic weapons equipped with silencers will now produce the sound they’re intended to make.
• NPCs engaged in combat will now react to grenades as intended.

Missions

• The ropes will now deploy properly to allow for extraction at the end of the Beekeeper Jeff side mission.
• Players should no longer be able to unlock Castle prematurely. This issue would block progression in some instances.
• Fixed a loot exploit that involved repeatedly killing bosses in some Invaded missions.
• In Jefferson Plaza, the NPC scene can no longer be interrupted during a boss fight.

PC specific

• PC players playing together while connected to the same network were meeting a number of issues when interacting with each other. This has now been fixed.

Other

• Weapons skins will no longer disappear if attached to a weapon and sold to a vendor.
• Stopped "SHD CPU V.2" and "Cyclone Magazine" skill mods from dropping as loot. Player's who already have the items can use them once they unlock the corresponding specialization perk.
• Players will no longer get stuck on black screens after watching introduction cinematics.
• We have updated XP rewards for all end game activities, so that they will scale to the player’s level, instead of being flat values.
• Several corrupted audio issues have been fixed.

Castle Settlement Issue

First of all the Settlement will stay gray - because "plot happened" - it will not become active like the Theatre Settlement.

1) Check if you can access the hatch and the video sequence after that.

2) Check if you get the Main Mission Jefferson Plaza

3) If you don't have the Main Mission Jefferson Plaza - Please make a Screenshot of your Mega Map and post it here.

Thank you
