Hotfix 4: Combat Tweaks, Quality of Life & Bug Fixes

Hotfix 4 is now live! We’ve continued reviewing your feedback and have another round of demo improvements. Here’s what’s changed:

Combat & balance

• Increased reload speed for all weapons by 10%.
• You now receive the Hunter’s Vision ability right after completing the tutorial. Press Q to activate it. It’s a handy ability that makes the game’s mechanics easier to learn. It isn’t the only active ability, though: you can find more at Hounds' Camp.
• Improved how enemies lose track of you after you break away. Each enemy type now has its own pursuit range, and the time it takes them to give up the chase adapts to the situation. Retreating and repositioning should feel much more natural.

Quality of life

• Increased the loot pickup radius, so you won’t have to chase every drop.
• Improved Codex targeting. It now switches to the enemy in your crosshair much more reliably, including enemies more than 100 meters away.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where you could aggro the Wraith from the tutorial area by shooting a ricochet object on the cliff after resetting the world at the Muttering Path Campfire.
• Removed the Reverend from the Desert, where he shouldn’t be.
• Fixed a bug where incorrect, hidden, or locked items (including some mysterious turbans) appeared in the Abilities, Weapon Upgrade, and Equipment menus. In some cases, this could cause a crash.
• Fixed an issue where the unspent attribute points counter at the Campfire could show the wrong number in some cases.

We're still reading your reports and working on more improvements. Thanks to everyone who's been playing, sharing feedback, and helping us improve Guns of Eschaton ! Keep the reports coming!

• Hunter’s Vision is available from the start now, so press Q and try it in your first fights!
• Every weapon has its own special ability, even your starting one. Press Z to use it and see what it does!
• Press X to switch weapons if you have more than one equipped.
