Patch history

  • 3.2.2 (December 12, 2024)
    • Players can now quickly cycle through available dart types via a new keybind, Dart Radial Input. This same key can also be held to summon the full Dart Radial. By default, this is bound to ‘H’ on keyboard and Right on D-pad when using a controller – players already using these keys for other actions will need to rebind their controls to prevent issues from occurring.
    • Players now have a choice on how the blowpipe acts when running out of a specific dart type. By default it will switch to the next type, but by using Auto Switch Dart Type in the Input Settings, players can prevent this automatic switch.
  • 3.2.1 (November 18, 2024)
    • The blowpipe’s quickfire has been tuned to ensure that it still provides a quick but accurate shot at close range, without overshadowing the benefits of a more considered charged shot.
    • Even a brief charge will now deliver a strong mid-range shot, while fully charged shot travels the maximum shot range.
  • 3.2.0 (October 17, 2024)
    • Introduced.
