The Remote Observer – Volume #8

The Remote Observer is back for the last time before TennoCon, with highlights from the 25+ pages of update notes that came with Chains of Harrow.

Each week we take a look at what important changes happened in-game that players might have missed, including QOL changes, bug fixes, weapon buffs and more!

PC – WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED

Since U21 was such a huge update, we previewed some of the highlights last week as well – if you want to see them, be sure to read Volume 7.

Weapon Buffs

· Secondary Shotguns received buffs

· Thrown Melee weapons received buffs

· Other Primary and Secondary weapons were revisited as well

· Full details are in the update notes.

Exterminate Changes

· Exterminate Mission enemies will get tougher towards the end of the mission and special Mini-Bosses will spawn as more enemies are killed.

· Enemies in Crossfire missions now spawn with more variety.

Mobile Defense Mission Changes

· Reduced the maximum total Defense time from 6 mins to 4 mins in the highest difficulty areas.

· Increased the maximum concurrent enemy count during Defense stages to increase intensity.

· Reduced console health slightly for a little added challenge.

· Enemy types start easy and get tougher with each console defended.

Other

· Multiplayer Simulacrum is here!

· Improved visibility of indicator in Grineer hacking puzzles.

· 3 new Captura Scenes are available from rare crates on the Grineer Forest tileset.

· Void Fissure Excavation missions now require players to crack open a Relic and have successfully-defended one dig site to completion before they can Extract.

· Added new area markers to the minimap – you can see these in the Chains of Harrow and the Second Dream Quests.

· You can now add notes to existing Friends or send them with your Friend requests!

· Fixed some Riven mods having improper grammar that would add confusion or make to the challenge description inaccurate.
