I was thinking the 16m blast radius they mentioned might mean diameter, but now I'm thinking maybe they did mean radius.

I'm pretty excited to try out the new poo poo. The skill tree is definitely a great choice and I hope the launch goes reasonably well.

I feel like the throwing rock is going to end up being the real winner of the new Ogryn blitz types, since it means one less resource for the Ogryn to have to worry about, same with the throwing knives for Zealot

Also is it just me or is it weird that the Xbox release is supposed to be simultaneous with this update and yet there isn't a store page up yet for the game(or for that matter in Game Pass since I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be one)

New update looks pretty hype, after Payday 3 got a big ol meh from the crew we might have to check this out again after the patch.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for the patch to drop to hit this up with my crew I was originally playing with. We burnt ourselves out on this hard in the two weeks after launch.

good news, the game is good right now!


but regardless of that I would also just launch the game at least once before the patch drops so it can consolidate your crafting mats.


it's all automatic but better to do it before the day of the update in case something whack happens

Looking forward to being re-annoyed by all the QoL bugs that have been in since launch but somehow can only be fixed by modders

Edit: and whose mods will be broken on update, i guess?

Evil Kit

you're gonna have to be more specific, I'm struggling to think of any bugs that cause QoL issues


good news is that patches don't always break mods, and they usually update pretty fast.

Off the top of my head, having to visit Melk's each reset to get the currency rewards to work, for one. If you just do secondaries without visiting Melk first it won't actually give you rewards for it unless you've visited him first.

Its been that way since literally before launch, and a mod fixes it, but it's somehow not in Fatshark's purview to fix it "officially"

Evil Kit

on the one hand, fair, on the other meh who cares? You're probably gonna visit him to check out his supply at least, and he's on the way to the mission board anyway.


I wouldn't really call that a bug so much as poor design though, unless there's been a modder or dev confirmation that it is actually a bug and meant to just generate automatically. Def an irritation though.

The bigger annoyance is that until you visit Melk’s task board, you can’t even begin making progress towards those tasks. Kill 3 monsters in a mission, but you forgot to visit Melk after the weekly reset Sunday evening? Sorry, those don’t count.

eh, I'm more ambivalent about it now since melkbucks are shared. Easier to just swap through four characters and do the Plasteel/Diamantine contracts which take two runs at most. If you don't have a lot of time to play or are taking it easy that's a solid way to build up a stash.

When I find a patch disables the "hotkeys for instant access to the merchants/mission board" mod, I rather close the game and re-enable mods then sprint across to the mission board.

(New patch youtube preview)

Looks great. Around the 8:50 mark there's some demonstration of the reworked Surge staff: Very fast charge time and more damage, but less stagger (doesn't stop the charging mutant) and only seems to hit 1-2 targets. The new Blitz option seems to fill the old niche, stunning everything in front of you for as long as your channeling and peril % allows.


edit: Separately, it looks like we're getting the patch a bit sooner than a lot of people expect. The release date has been October 4th for awhile, but that's 12:01 AM in Sweden. For everyone westward it will be 3PM PST / 6PM EST October 3rd. Here's the tweet that suggests as such:

The veteran tree has a lot of bits to support a close-up "Angry man with a big knife and shotgun" build, which means the dream of being a knockoff "Iron Hand Straken" is closer than ever:

holy poo poo the ogryn big grenade isn't even on a long cooldown, it's a grenade pickup

gotta wonder if that's inadvisable because people will absolutely waste it on poo poo mobs but also more explosions good...

I don't know why but the AI voice reader really puts me off in this video. Might be because you hear them so often in mobile game ads now

Hence why I said the rock is probably going to be the meta choice since its cooldown based instead

the video linked above does a demonstration of the Ogryn frag and uh, they throw it in the middle of the rager/shotgunner group in the Psykanium. it deleted everything but the flamer in the specialist group to the fart left, which survives with half HP. The mutant is just *gone*.

pretty sure it's gonna see a lot of use lol.

Calling it now that Ranged specialization Ogyn is going to be very strong, especially if they have some ammo regeneration or can stack ammo replenishment with other classes like veteran.

You'll see Ogyn's with the gorgo just never stop firing, ever.

Here is hoping a faint hope that fatshark thought ahead for once and will let us see what coherency bonus everyone is bringing to the team now that you can choose from multiple which don't stack, though if they forget I'm sure a mod will be out in a week for it.

It's not ammo replenishment but you can get an ability that gives a 5% chance that a bullet isn't consumed.

The meta is going to be bullying veterans into picking Demolition Team for grenade regen :D

That it comes with the Krak grenade (devastating damage. Sticks to Flak, Carapace, & Unyielding) instead of the bleed or smoke ones is going to be an easy pick for me.

More previews, more nukes.

Looks like the Gun ogyn will in fact be super strong and will have increased ammo reserves which translates to increased ammo recovery from ammo pickups on top of not using up 5-8% of their ammo while mag dumping a gorgo stubba.
