[/h3][p]Added a set of Jump Pack Dash attacks for Assault, that are much quicker and responsive than normal sprint attacks. Dash attacks should be affected by all perks that affect Sprint attacks as well.[/p][p][/p][p]🟡 Change from PTS: Jump Dash attacks deal 50% more damage[/p][p]💬 We are going to continue expanding and improving sandbox gameplay for all classes.

  • [p]Chained Whirl Slash now can be performed after Overhead Strike.[/p]

[p][/p][p]🟡 Heroic Sniper Bolt Rifle: All ammo restore perks will not trigger when using this weapon.[/p][p]💬 While it was clear that its a very powerful weapon in PTS, we don't want to reduce its effectiveness, but we do want to raise its skill cap.[/p][p][/p][p]🟡 Heroic Thunder Hammer: Assault's Ground Pound will also spawn a shock zone.[/p][p][/p][p]🟡 Heroic Power Fist: [/p]

[p][/p][h3]Classes[/h3][p][/p][p]Tactical[/p]
  • [p]Signal Jammer: The perk has been reworked. [/p]
[p][/p][p]Old: “Enemies marked by Auspex Scan cannot call for reinforcements and automatically explode upon attempting to do so.”[/p][p]New: “After marking an enemy with Auspex Scan, other enemies cannot call for reinforcement and automatically explode upon attempting to do so for 90 seconds.”[/p][p][/p][p]Sniper[/p]
  • [p]Precision Targeting: Now perk works against Extremis and Terminus-level enemies.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Bulwark [/p]
  • [p]Emergency Countermeasure: Cooldown is decreased from 90 to 45 seconds.[/p]
[p][/p][p]Vanguard[/p][p]💬 For too long, Vanguard's role was to be a vessel for the squad's healing perks. With these changes, we want to reinforce ranged/melee hybrid playstyle for him. But we are not entirely done with Vanguard changes. We would like to take a closer look at his ability.[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Grapnel Launcher damage now scales based on difficulty.[/p]
  • [p]🟡 Retribution: The perk has been reworked. [/p]
[p]Old: “After you are grabbed or knocked back, you deal 30% more Melee Damage for 20 seconds.”[/p][p]New: “When your Ranged weapon’s magazine is empty, Melee Damage increases by 25%.”[/p][p]🟡 Change from PTS: Damage buff increased from 20 to 25%.[/p][p][/p]

Cooldown 15 seconds.”[/p][p]🟡 Change from PTS: Fix interaction between Shock Wave perk and Tenacity caused by double damage scaling.
[/p]

  • [p]Extreme Challenge: Increased Extremis enemies spawn cooldown.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Gameplay QoL[/h3]
  • [p]Increased netcode damage cap.[/p]
[p]💬 This change is going to open a huge can of worms for gameplay balancing, but it has to be done. The game damage numbers should not be restricted by net code and should be accurate all of the time. We will be monitoring which builds and perks combinations will become problematic. It's pretty clear that some damage buffs combinations from multiple sources are already insane (looking at you Blocking Power Fist). For now, have fun.[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Sniper damage buff from Cloak Ability lasts a little bit longer to fully affect entire burst and full auto weapons.[/p]
  • [p]Improved sound indication for unparriable attacks.[/p]
  • [p]Pyrecannon Heavy Stance behavior with sprint now matches other heavy weapons.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]LEVELS[/h2]
  • [p]Lots of minor fixes with level geometry.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][h2]GENERAL FIXES[/h2]
  • [p]Fixed: Vanguard - The ‘Restless Fortitude’ perk does not activate when finishing off an enemy with the Grapnel Launcher.[/p]

  • [p]Fixed: Player can't use gun strike on Lictor after perfect dodge in some rare cases.[/p]

  • [p]Lots of minor bug fixes.[/p]
  • [p]Lots of minor localisation bug fixes.[/p]
  • [p]Lots of minor UI and sound fixes.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][h2]TECH[/h2]
  • [p]Memory optimizations.[/p]
  • [p]Crash fixes and general stability improvements.[/p]
  • [p]General connectivity improvements.[/p]

October Community Update

Hello Space Marines!
[p][/p][p]With Halloween creeping closer and Update 11.0 just weeks away, it’s the perfect time to mix the two: so here are a few treats from the game to sink your teeth into. 😉[/p][p][/p][h2]SOMETHING TERRIFYING IS COMING 🦇[/h2][p][/p][p]In the latest Community Update, we gave you a sneak peek of the upcoming new PvE Map and told you it would have a “new boss fight “. Today, we wanted to announce that this new boss is a Tyranid Prime! Except there’s a twist. There’s two of them. You’re welcome. 😁[/p][p][/p][p]It is a formidable enemy: a winged Tyranid leader beast, the apex of the Tyranid Warrior strain. Its heavy bladed limbs can slice through the toughest targets, so make sure you’re ready.[/p][p]You will meet this foe on "Reclamation", the new Operation map coming with Patch 11.0, which is off-planet. Your mission? Infiltrate the captured ship and destroy it. [/p][p]
Along with the new map and Boss fight, new Battlefield Conditions will be implemented to the Stratagems mode, with new weapon variants and armor pieces.[/p][p][/p][p]​Patch 11.0 - Reclamation Update is planned for the end of November, stay tuned for the precise release date.[/p][p][/p][h2]UPCOMING DLCs[/h2][p][/p][p]Reclamation Update comes with two cosmetic DLCs: The Blood Angel Champion Pack and the Salamanders Cosmetic Pack. The Blood Angels Champion is quite special this time as it is directly inspired by the Blood Angels Captain miniature. This skin also comes with an optional jump pack variant for Assault, for you Sanguinary Guard fans. We hope you like it! ❤️[/p][p][/p][h3]BLOOD ANGELS CHAMPION PACK
[/h3][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]Along with that, the Salamanders return with a Cosmetic Pack this time including 5 Armour Pieces, 4 Successor Chapters and various decals. [/p][p][/p][p]Have a closer look at it:[/p][p][/p][h3]SALAMANDERS COSMETIC PACK[/h3][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][h3]SALAMANDERS SUCCESSOR CHAPTERS[/h3]
  • [p]Dark Krakens[/p]
  • [p]Dragonspears[/p]
  • [p]Black Vipers[/p]
  • [p]Covenant of Fire[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]RESULTS OF THE EVENT[/h2][p][/p][p]This month you were missionned to collectively annihilate 400,000 Mutalith Vortex Beasts. And you made it!! ✅[/p][p][/p][p]More than 400,000 Vortex Beasts were taken down in the span of two weeks. You’ve truly outdone yourself this time Space Marines. You make the Emperor proud.[/p][p]The reward for completing this task with such diligence is the Infiltrator Helmet for the Vanguard and Sniper classes.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you’ll make good use of it! 💥[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]THE PUBLIC TEST SERVER IS STILL UP![/h2][p][/p][p]If you want to experience Patch 11 before everyone else and you're playing on Steam, we’ve got good news for you! Until November 4, try out the new PvE Map, new Heroic Weapons, new equipment “Sanctified Wrath”, Chaos armour pieces swap in PvP, and more via the Public Test Server![/p][p][/p][p]You can now mix Chaos armours and equip them to different classes [/p][p][/p][p]👉 Here’s an easy tutorial on how to access it![/p][p]👉 And here are the Patch Notes[/p][p][/p][p]Please note that the cosmetic DLCs can't be equipped if you don't own the Season Pass, and Reclamation's Boss Fight is not available either. Also, the PTS runs as a completely separate game version. It does not carry over your previous progress in the game; instead, it provides all players with a default maxed-out level and weapons.[/p][p][/p][p]💬 Don’t hesitate to give us feedback, either on Focus Together or on our Discord server.[/p][p][/p][p]Since it’s been a few days already, we’ve received some feedback and wanted to address it quickly here. We wanted to reassure you on the following:[/p]
  • [p]Blood Angels’s Champion parts will be colourable.[/p]
  • [p]The Salamanders’ shoulder will have an emblem.[/p]
  • [p]Jump pack dash attacks aren’t final.[/p]
[p]Please keep in mind that PTS is not a final version of the upcoming update, and thus many things are still Work In Progress. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]

Q&A - ADDRESSING A SELECTION OF IDEAS FROM FOCUS TOGETHER
[/h2][p]On Focus Together, you have been submitting ideas for the game since launch. Today, we wanted to address some of the latest and most discussed ideas and bring an answer to them with insights from Game Director Dmitry Grigorenko! [/p][p][/p][p]For each question, you may find the title of the idea with a hyperlink (➡️), a subtitle summarizing it (🟰), and then, our answer (💬). There are more questions we did answer, so don’t hesitate to check Focus Together for a complete overview![/p][p]
[/p][p]➡️ “Remove Stratagem Currency”[/p][p]🟰 Remove Accolades or make Accolades tradable with Requisition points so they can be farmed.[/p][p]💬 Currently, removing Accolades or making them possible to trade with Requisition points is not planned. However, as we stated in the September Community Update, we will implement different ways to earn Accolades in the future.
[/p][p]➡️ “Allow all classes to use the Space Wolf Champion's fur shoulder pads”[/p][p]🟰 Have less Class restrictions for which Class can use the Space Wolf Champion’s shoulder pads.[/p][p]💬 The reason behind locking the Space Wolves' shoulder pads is because Phobos armor parts cannot be used on Tacticus or Gravis armours (Lore reasons. Plus, it simply doesn't fit 🥲). What you are asking actually implies creating a new shoulder pad for Tacticus and Gravis armour sets. We are going to do that for the most popular Champion parts and Space Wolves Shoulder Pad is one of those!
[/p][p]➡️ Power Axe for tactical and Space wolves cosmetic for tactical. [/p][p]💬 We are thinking of something cooler and more complex than that. 👀
[/p][p]➡️ “Add MK VII without laurels”[/p][p]💬 Yes, we’re planning to add the “laurel-less” version of the Helmet in an upcoming update.
[/p][p]➡️ “Training sim/arena”[/p][p]🟰 Add some kind of training simulator / shooting range to the Battle Barge.[/p][p]💬 Yes! We’re planning to expand the Battle Barge in this way.[/p][p][/p][p]
Each month, we try our best to address the trendiest and most upvoted ideas on Focus Together. But as you may have seen yourselves, there are now more than 10K ideas. Therefore, we need time to consider all suggestions, discuss them and eventually bring an answer. [/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your patience, and mostly for your devotion and interest in the game.[/p]
THAT’S IT FOR THIS MONTH!
