Patch Notes - What's new in the latest update?

We've released a brand new patch alongside the new DLC Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Forges Of Corruption Expansion, so read on below to see what we've added. We are excited that we were able to add 2 highly requested features from players - Horde Mode and a Navigation Guide!

Main Features
  • šŸ’€HORDE MODE: We’ve added a free Horde Mode for all players. How long can you survive against the onslaught of heretics and daemons?
  • 🧭NAVIGATION GUIDE: Even the Emperor’s finest sometimes get lost. We’ve added a new Navigation Guide that, when activated, shows your next objective and a recommended route to reach it.
    The guide appears for a few seconds by default, but can be toggled to always display by enabling Options > Gameplay > Toggle Navigation Guide. By default the Navigation Guide is bound to N on PC, Back on Xbox, the Touchpad on PlayStation, and to - on Nintendo Switch.
  • šŸ†NEW ACHIEVEMENTS/TROPHIES: Horde Mode comes with three new Achievements/Trophies to unlock
  • šŸ›BUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS: We’ve fixed numerous issues and made quality of life improvements - see full notes below
QoL Improvements
  • Added a new Navigation Guide. This shows your next objective and a recommended route to reach it.
  • Added a new Option in Accessibility for ā€œChainsword Cutting Modeā€. This can now be set to the following:
    1. Repeated Tap: repeatedly press the input to maintain cutting mode (default setting)
    2. Hold Input: hold down the input to maintain cutting mode
    3. No Input (Automatic): no input is needed to maintain cutting mode (after initiating the chainsword lunge)
  • To celebrate our new Forges of Corruption DLC, we’ve added a new main menu background. This is available to all players, whether you own the DLC or not, and can be set in the Options menu (Accessibility > Main Menu Background)
  • Added two new control schemes: Alternate Controller Layouts 6 and 7
  • Made improvements to various screens and UI in the game
  • Added a confirmation requirement when setting the Screen Mode in Options
  • Improved Aura of Doom visual effects so they don’t obscure the screen as much
