Overview
- The Kettle’s maximum fire rate is reduced from 600 to 450 RPM to remove advantages largely achievable with macros.
- Trigger ’Nade now detonates after 1.5 seconds instead of 0.7 and its damage falls off more sharply away from the blast center to curb mid‑air instant kills.
- A keycard exploit letting players keep room keys after use is fixed, and Stella Montis Night Raid lighting is lowered to elevate flashlight use and audio cues.
- Embark marks roughly 12 million copies sold by granting the free Gilded Pickaxe Raider Tool to anyone who logged in from launch through January 13.
- The Abyss cosmetic set goes live as community feedback mixes balance approval with criticism of the outfit, and the studio signals continued anti‑cheat and tuning work.
