Quality of Life & Balance Update – June 14

[p]Another patch is live! Today’s update brings some key quality of life improvements and balance changes based directly on your feedback and what we’ve been observing post-launch.

Quality of Life Improvements:[/p]
  • [p]You can now push enemies (except bosses) by walking into them. No more getting body-blocked in tight spaces.[/p]
  • [p]Any non-AoE damage you take from behind (off-screen) now deals 50% less damage. This should make surprise projectiles and backstabs a bit less punishing. We’ll keep an eye on this and adjust the value if necessary.[/p]
  • [p] You now gain +1 reroll every 5 level-ups to help with build variety and flexibility.[/p]
[p]
Bug Fixes:
  • [p]Fixed a rare crash issue related to the first perk of the Bloodfang.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue where the charged melee animation could get stuck.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug where the first level of the headshot damage increase perk was dealing more damage than the amount shown.[/p]
Balance Changes:[/p]
  • [p]Increased the base damage of the Banshee (starting pistol) by 5. This ensures that Tormented enemies now die in 2 headshots instead of 3, even without upgrades.[/p]
  • [p]Slightly reduced EXP requirements for the first few level-ups to smooth out early pacing.[/p]
  • [p]Reduced the homing speed of Oculon’s mines.[/p]
[p]
Mission Changes:[/p]
  • [p]Serathiel – Mission 2: Apply Inferno to 20 enemies → now 15[/p]
  • [p]Gholgoroth – Mission 2: Apply Blight to 25 enemies → now 15[/p]
  • [p]Varkoth – Mission 2: Use any spell 5 times → now 2[/p]
[p]
Let us know how it feels! As always, we’re active on Discord and checking the Steam Discussions regularly.

Thanks again for your continued support and feedback![/p]

Thank You + Patch Notes (June 13)

HELLBREAKERS!



First off, thank you to everyone who’s bought HELLBREAK and joined us in the arena! Your support means the world to our small team. We’ve been closely following all your feedback and bug reports since launch, and this update addresses several key issues and makes a few balance tweaks based on what we’ve seen and heard.

Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed a rare crash affecting some players. We believe this should be fully resolved now, but we’re ready to jump on it immediately if it happens again. Please let us know on the Steam forums or in our Discord if it does.
  • Upgrading a weapon will now guarantee it appears during your next trial, similar to unlocking.
  • The sensitivity slider in the settings menu is now more flexible for better control.
  • Fixed a bug preventing aim assist from being fully disabled for gamepad users.
  • Made the aim assist strength slider more adjustable as well.
Balance Changes:
  • Reduced the number of imps that spawn in Necropit on the default difficulty.
  • Slightly lowered the speed of imp projectiles.

We’ll keep iterating and improving based on your feedback, please keep it coming! You can post on the Steam Discussions or hop into our Discord server and chat with us directly.
