  • Fixed the “Lifted enemies explode on death” effect not working when the full set is equipped.
  • Fixed non-melee attacks to proc the effect.
  • Fixed the effect from triggering on non-lifted enemies.
  • Fixed the damage type to correctly deal Impact damage.

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

DECONSTRUCTOR MELEE MODDING CHANGES:

The Sisters of Parvos update will bring three new Modular Hound Companions, each with a unique Melee weapon. While reviewing these Companion Weapons, we noticed the Helios-old problem that there’s a lot of Melee Mods that you can equip, but don’t really function on companion Melee. There’s also some ‘invisible gear hopping’ where if you put Mods on your Deconstructor (or Prime), they carry over to your Melee which is a many-year-old oversight we’ve lived with, but are approaching changes more thoroughly with this Update and as a result we’re patching up this behaviour.

These are mostly Mods that deal with combos or heavy attacks, since Companions do not have these features as well as other certain outliers. As a result the following Mods will be incompatible with the upcoming three Hound weapons and retroactively will no longer work with the Deconstructor and Deconstructor Prime:

• Saxum Thorax

Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)

• Fixed the Saxum Mod Sets not being equippable on Exalted Melee.

Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)

• Introduced.
