Blood West News

For those affected by the issue with an empty map (no enemies, no NPCs): simply rest in bed. A single rest should fix this and populate the map again! If your player character is wearing the Ring of Tahoe, unequip it before resting!

• Fixed a bug where using ALT+F4 during player’s death could result in enemies and NPCs missing from map
  
• Fixed an issue where it was impossible to activate the altar at the bottom of the Mine and open portal leading to end-game
  
• Fixed cases where every ammo stack had only one bullet (including traders)
  
• Fixed a bug where Herald Talisman and Devil’s Eye buffs would reset after saving and loading a game
  
• Fixed a bug where melee attacks would not register correctly when using a staff
  
• Fixed an issue where Strix would ignore rocks being thrown at them
  
• Fixed a case where a Terror Eye could be performing ranged attacks on an entity other than the player and that attack would still affect the player
  
• Fixed a bug in which Nightmare’s SFX could stack and overlap aggressively if it couldn’t reach the player
  
• Fixed a case of cursed cave where Rotten Skeleton resides - the layout of objects inside it should no longer change
  
• Fixed certain dialogues missing their voiceover or their VO was truncated
  
• Fixed an issue where Coffin Amulet wouldn’t always stun a Skin Collector
  
• Fixed an issue where The Untouchables values in their description were incorrect
  
• Fixed a bug where enemies would stop moving due to specific circumstances
  
• Fixed an issue where a projectile like a Tomahawk would disappear after hitting an ethereal enemy like a Spirit
  
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to use the Music Box an unlimited amount of times by triggering a keybind
  
• Fixed few issues with the Hungarian translation
  

• Staff of the Vengeful Raven projectiles are a bit more centered and less prone to going to the right
  
• Strix will not move super close to the player and thus avoid certain undesired behaviours
  
• Shambler (the chest aka player’s stash) will no longer have its SFX overlap. Also, it will stay still when being used
  
• Few improvements to the Vessel enemy type that will make them slightly better at aiming and hitting the player at a distance and will not lose aggro so easily
  
• Added a few more firearms to certain areas of the Dead Man’s Promise map to help smoothen the gameplay for players exploring areas on their own
  
• Items lying on the ground will no longer risk getting kicked from the map by enemies (this will make it impossible for items like Coin Necklace or Living Vines to fall from the map)
  
• Small improvements to VO of the Shaman when passing portals
  
• Pain Threshold - extra damage nerfed from 10% to 5%
  
• A few improvements to controller support
  
• Additional artwork has been added to Dead Man’s Promise loading screens!

• Small update to the credits and miniscule update to texts in general
  

Red Dead Redemption 2 may never have got its Undead Nightmare equivalent, but you can enjoy a magnificent dose of horror-tinged Wild West action right now courtesy of indie developer Hyperstrange and publisher New Blood Interactive. Blood West, the Lovecraft cowboy FPS that brings together the best of RDR 2, Stalker, and immersive sims such as Thief, has a brand-new DLC that puts a witchy twist on its already fantastic gameplay and story. It's out now, and you can even grab both the base game and its expansion at a discount if you're fast.
