The Cycle Frontier Update 2.5.0 Patch Notes

• KOR-47

  • Reduced damage per shot from 13 to 12.

  • Increased vertical recoil by about 35%.

  • Increased horizontal recoil by about 20%.

• We’ve reduced the maximum amount of players that can roam a single instance of Bright Sands by 1.

• We’ve fiddled with our early matchmaking values a bit. New Prospectors will have an easier time on the surface.

• You will now be able to sort items in shops and when using crafting stations.

• Weapon attachments can now be equipped from any source to any destination by simply dragging and dropping them on the weapon of your choice.

• Turning and rotating in place will now produce footstep sounds instead of making you look like a spinning ghost.

• Rattlers took some vitamins. They won’t flinch as easily when first running into them but will be easier to stagger after that.

• Striders and Marauders also got a nice cup of coffee and won’t freeze into place after attacking a bit too far from their designated spots.

• Crushers on the other hand had some proper sleep and won’t act erratically when Prospectors get out of their sights.

• Improved the cheating compensation feature a bit to prevent situations where it wouldn’t compensate players properly.

• Night Vision could be kept permanently by mashing its bound key while looking through a weapon scope. This has been fixed for the sake of everyone’s eyeballs.

• Fixed some clipping issues between backpacks and some Prospector models. No, you can’t fit a whole Prospector inside the bag.

• Fixed more clipping issues when using some specific emotes.

• As is tradition, made more supposedly inaccessible places actually inaccessible.

• Players won’t go through a server-wide earthquake anymore when someone fails to open a locked door.

• Batteries will now spawn as they should in the Osiris Research Facility on Tharis Island.

• Fixed an issue that prevented using some properly unlocked Prospectors.

• The Paladin Battle Blade will now be what it claims to be: a Paladin Battle Blade.

• Made some walls act like the walls they’re supposed to be. These will now effectively stop bullets.

• Fixed a few more infamous “stuck spots”. This one is a constant battle so keep those reports coming!

• More on that front, also fixed a few collision issues around the planet.

• In a similar vein, going up stairs should now be a smoother, uninterrupted experience. Taking bug fixes step by step!

• Finally, improved ledge climbing possibilities for several areas on the surface.

• Fixed an issue with invisible loot container blocking shots, making firefights a bit awkward.

• The Alien Forge terminal won’t be accessible when the Forge is already doing its thing.

• Similarly, you won’t be able to start the printing process for another item while the Gear Printer is already busy working on something.

• No error message will show when successfully adding an attachment to a weapon in the stash.

• Fixed an issue with flashlights not producing light from an external point of view.

• Some textures looked unnaturally stretched beyond the laws of nature. These have been carefully, uh, unstretched.

• No more “level up” notices when completing tasks with the Fortuna Pass already at max level.

• The Korolev quest line “In a Deep Dark Hole” won’t show as main missions anymore.

• Fixed a few typos and localization issues here and there.

• Fixed a few UI issues in the in-game shop.
