Patch History[]
Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)
- Fixed the Quassus and Gunsen gaining different Melee combo counters on first hit with the Slicing Feathers Stance. They will both have the same 3 combo counter hits now.
Hotfix 29.2.1 (2020-10-01)
- Fixed the Quassus leaving you "unarmed" after using heavy attacks.
Hotfix 29.1.1 (2020-09-18)
- Fixed issue that stopped Pressure Point and its derivatives from not applying to Quassus Heavy Attack projectiles.
Hotfix 29.0.8 (2020-09-10)
- Increased Heavy Attack projectiles from 35 to 76
- Also fixed Quassus Heavy Attack projectiles being slowed down to 15% of their original speed after punching through an enemy.
- Reduced horizontal spread of projectiles
- Quassus throws 12 projectiles with a pretty wide horizontal spread, spreading the Damage across multiple targets. Individual damage was not where we wanted it. Increasing it over 100%, narrowing the spread and making sure it will hit additional targets after passing through, increases its lethality to intended levels.
Hotfix 29.0.2 (2020-08-26)
- Fixed a crash when inspecting the Quassus’ stats in the Mission Progress screen while in the Cambion Drift.
Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)
- Introduced.
