The Remote Observer: Vol 1

Introducing: The Remote Observer series! Here you'll find a weekly summary of two things: changes that went live you may have missed or changes that are soon coming that you'll want to know!

Our first edition is a biweekly review of the tweaks and fixes that came in our large updates last week, and the past week full of subsequent hotfixes to squash some unexpected bugs.

PC - What you may have missed.

If you don’t want to sift through 30+ pages of Update and Hotfix notes here’s a look at a handful of changes in the past two weeks. This first volume is quite lengthy due to the record-breaking size of our update notes for Octavia’s Anthem, but we will always aim to make our less girthier updates just as satisfying.

In-mission Changes

  • We fixed a bug where damage-over-time procs were double-dipping on stealth multipliers, resulting in higher numbers than the intended 8x.
  • Focus Convergence Orbs spawn closer (within 30 to 60 metres, before it was 40 to 80).
  • Bleedout Markers have a distance label and will hover above the affected player’s head.
  • Ten weapons received a buff, and four received a nerf. Full details here.
  • Required Rathuum Judgement points were lowered to 10/15/25.
