Hot Fix 2/10/26

[p]Greetings Defenders,[/p][p]We’ve pushed out a new hotfix addressing a crash issue, some reward corrections, and a few gameplay adjustments.[/p][p]First, we want to sincerely apologize for the crash on Alchemical Laboratory in Rift Mode when reaching the boss wave. Unfortunately, this issue made it into the live build and remained there for about a week. We know how frustrating that can be, especially for players progressing and deeper survival runs, and we truly appreciate your patience while we tracked it down and resolved it. The fix is now live, and we’re back on track.[/p][h3]Stability Fixes[/h3]
  • [p]Fixed a crash on Alchemical Laboratory (Rift Mode) that occurred when transitioning into the boss wave.

    [/p]
[h3]UI Updates[/h3]
  • [p]Removed Bonus Difficulty options from areas of the UI where they cannot be toggled. This should reduce confusion and clean up the interface.

    [/p]
[h3]Reward Changes[/h3]
  • [p]Sirloin no longer drops at Wave 250 on Summit Survival. To make up for this change, Gold Gemstones are now a guaranteed drop at Wave 250.

    [/p]
  • [p]The Assault Challenge now properly awards a Victory Chest when played with Bonus Difficulty enabled. (As a result we are extending the Assault Speed Run Event Until 2/28.

    [/p]
[h3]Pure Strategy Changes[/h3]
  • [p]Increased Ogre spawns in Alchemical Laboratory (Pure Strategy – Massacre) from 5 per lane to 9 per lane for better scaling and pressure.

    [/p]
[h3]Copter Ogre Targeting Adjustment[/h3][p]We’ve adjusted Copter Ogre target priorities to improve counterplay once they are dropped off. Previously, Copter Ogres heavily favored towers after landing, which often left little room for reaction or counterplay when a goblin copter goes through a rift portal. This change should result in Copter Ogres focusing players more often instead of immediately locking onto towers.[/p][p][/p][p]Old Target Desirability[/p]
  • [p]Player: 2[/p]
  • [p]Core: 0.5[/p]
  • [p]Tower: 10[/p]
[p]New Target Desirability[/p]
  • [p]Player: 10[/p]
  • [p]Core: 2[/p]
  • [p]Tower: 1[/p][p][/p]
[p]Thank you again for the reports and for sticking with us while we clean things up. Your feedback continues to help us improve the game, and we’re committed to keeping things moving in the right direction.[/p][p]Happy Defending,
The Community Development Team[/p][p]
