For many Scavs, the "Data Heist" quest has been a source of tension for the wrong reasons. A persistent bug occasionally prevented the quest from completing even after players successfully navigated the war-torn ruins to secure their objective. This update specifically targets that logic error, ensuring that when you risk your life against gargantuan war machines to steal data, you actually get credit for the job. In a world where every resource is paid for in blood, losing out on a mission completion is a setback no squad can afford.
Cosmetic polish also arrived in this hotfix, specifically targeting the Scav Girl skin. Players noticed that the skin's integrated lights were displaying incorrectly near the character's eyes, creating a distracting visual artifact that felt out of place in the dark, tactical environments of the wasteland. The fix ensures the lighting now aligns correctly with the character model, maintaining the aesthetic of a survivor cobbled together from the wreckage of a 40-year war.
While smaller than the recent QOL Mk.II update, these targeted fixes are vital for maintaining the tactical flow of the game. When you're caught between two military superpowers, you need your gear to look right and your contracts to pay out. This hotfix is currently live, so make sure your client is updated before your next descent into the trenches.
