Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr News

tomorrow is a big day - Patch 2.0 is about to be released. There are a lot of changes in this update so we must make a lot of adjustments to make sure that your accounts and characters are converted to all the 2.0 mechanics successfully.

Due to this, there will be an extended maintenance active from 10AM CEST until the patch goes live, which will happen around 6PM CEST.

Thank you for your patience and we wish you success in your conquests in Patch 2.0.

In order to provide a more polished experience for you, we have come to the decision to reschedule the release of Inquisitor - Prophecy and Patch 2.0. We will keep working hard to make the game even better and in the meantime, we'd like to ask for your patience and understanding.

According to our updated roadmap, Patch 2.0 will hit on June 20, while Inquisitor - Prophecy will arrive on July 30.

In the meantime, we have assembled an in-depth compendium containing all the new features coming with the update, including all the new mechanics, items, and more, so you can see what's coming in Patch 2.0.

You can find the compendium here.

We are pleased to announce WARHAMMER 40,000: INQUISITOR – PROPHECY, a stand-alone expansion pack for Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr. It is a brand new action-RPG experience in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and although Inquisitor – Martyr is not required to play, the story is designed to fit both for new and for returning players.





New Class: Play as a Tech-Adept Inquisitor. Summon and enhance units to help defeat enemies and complete investigations. This new summoner class comes with new unique abilities and mechanics, a unique skill-tree and various new melee and ranged builds.

New Campaign: The story of Inquisitor – Martyr continues in three new chapters, with one chapter solely focusing on the Tech-Adept, as its story slowly ties into the main plot.

New Environments: Players can discover huge monasteries, hazardous factories, unforgiving deserts and ruthless worlds engulfed by lava and volcanoes.

New Enemy Races: Inquisitor – Prophecy adds the Eldar and the Tyranids as new enemy races.

New Gameplay Mechanics: Inquisitor – Prophecy will be based on Inquisitor - Martyr’s 2.0 update, bringing the base game’s new level cap, redesigned loot-system and leveling, its new end-game, the co-op campaign mode, new items and a much faster, ARPG-focused gameplay to the stand-alone expansion as well.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Prophecy will be available on PC on May 28 for $24.99, while those who already own a copy of Inquisitor – Martyr receive -30% off of their purchase for a limited time.

Prophecy is scheduled to release together with Patch 2.0 which is a separate, free content update for Martyr.

We'll reveal more of this new title in the following weeks, so stay tuned, and be sure to check our Community Hub often! 

Updates to W40K: Inquisitor - Martyr will be released. The updates will be applied automatically after the scheduled maintenance and when your Steam client (in on-line mode) is restarted. Please also note that during maintenance, players will be unable to login.

New Features

• 5 new DLCs are available from the in-game store.
  
• We have added continent selection when launching the mission. You will now have to scan the POI's continents to find a suitable LZ in order to start the mission. There will be an additional loading screen when changing continents.
  
• Added a new Inquisitor Royale mode to the PvP panel where 50 Inquisitors are dropped into the Warzone to test their might against each other.
  
• Starmap traveling is now mandatory and the quick mission launch tab has been removed from the game.
  
• Added a Barber Shop to the Command Bridge where players can spend Caligari Credits to style their characters' hair.
  
• To foreshadow and test our transition to the mobile platform, players can now manage the Command Bridge from their phones via our new mobile app. Download it here!
• New Map setting: Monastery
  
• Added a new NPC, the Ink Visitor who may sometimes visit the Command Bridge. He constantly talks about monsters and has a ghost as a companion.
  
• Players can now purchase Loot Caches from the in-game store for 1$ apiece. These loot boxes are also obtainable via spending 2000 Fate points.
  
• Added Parental Controls to the game. Gore and violence levels can be controlled via a passworded slider within the Game Options tab.
  
• Due to the popularity of the console port, PC support ends for Martyr at the end of 2019.

Balance

• The Aethon System's PR requirement has been bumped up to 3200.
  
• Suppression is a vastly underrated mechanic in the game so we have doubled the suppression resistance of all Elite and Medium type enemies.
  • Subsequently, all Elite and Medium type enemies now deal 45% increased Suppression damage.
• Added a new stat, Clumsiness, to the game. Characters with high levels of Clumsiness may drop grenades and fizzle their own weapons during combat.
  • Loot boxes purchased from the in-game store now have lower Clumsiness stats than regular items.
• To reduce mission preparation time, all Inoculators now have random effects.
  
• Warzones now never end.
  
• We have felt that the leveling pace is too slow, therefore we have reduced mission XP gains by approximately 50%.
  
• All cutscenes are now unskippable.
  
• Added a new "Report Cheaters" feature to the ESC menu. Players reported 10 or more times will be automatically banned.
  
• Using emotes now has a slight chance to cost 2 Fate points.
  
• Players now lose a portion of their experience when they die. The loss is determined from the Power Rating of the mission.
  

Crusader

• The Crusader's movement speed has been reduced slightly.
  
• The Crusader now has a slight chance to be crushed by his summoned turrets if the direction is misaligned.
  
• Crusaders are banned from the Barber Shop.
  

Assassin

• Dodge has been reworked. Players can now Dodge in 16 directions, all of which can be custom bound via the Interface Options panel.
  
• The movement speed of Assassins is now increased by 30% if they customize their gear to be colored red.
  
• The Assassin's melee arsenal lacked variety, so we have added the following variations to all Assassin blades: Doppler, Gamma Doppler, Case Hardened, and Crimson Web.
  

Psyker

• Psyker Warp Anomalies can now randomly summon other players to the multiplayer session.
  
• The Psyker's performance was lacking across endgame so max-level Psykers are now doing roughly 50% more damage with all specializations.
  
• Due to community feedback, we have switched the Psyker back to the old model.

Fixed Bugs

• Improved stability across all platforms
  
• To improve the stability of the Inventory, a loading screen has been added.
  • To improve the stability of the loading screen, all loading screens now last approximately 20% longer.

• Fixed a bug where player progress was saved upon hitting Alt+F4.
