The most significant shift for long-term players is the rework of the Cosmetic Box Spawn logic. Previously, a bad run could feel like a total reset, but the spawn multiplier now persists even after a game over. Additionally, the multiplier now increases at the end of a level rather than the start, rewarding those who actually survive the chaos and ensuring your next dive is more likely to yield those rare rewards.
Combat and utility have also seen a precision buff. The Item Staffs—essential for managing the physics-based objectives—now accurately shoot toward your reticle even while the character is rotating. This fix removes that clunky lag that often led to missed shots during frantic escapes. Both the Item Void and Zero Gravity Staffs have received specific balance passes to keep their power levels in check without sacrificing their utility in the meta.
The Shopkeeper isn't quite as unfair now, either. The Ruckus System has been updated to prevent the AI from accidentally pinning players into ceilings, and more importantly, he'll now give you a warning before he starts shooting. It's a small change that adds a layer of fair play to the stealth and survival elements of the game. Several critical fixes round out the patch, including a weight glitch that caused players to tumble awkwardly after mounting vehicles and a fix for inconsistent Cosmetic Tokens after a full team wipe.
