1.0.3 is a quality of life improvement patch. We’ve made some balance adjustments to counter the recent attack speed changes and continued to tune the strikers. This patch also brings some tweaks to values and objectives of some of the bounty cards alongside our usual assortment of UI updates, bug removals, and crash fixes.
BALANCE CHANGES
Attack Speed
-
The recent changes to bonus attack speed left some of the slower weapons feeling a little unwieldy. While the intention of the axe and the hammer is to hit hard, they needed a little jostle to get back to a state where they feel rewarding, so we’re raising the base attack speed for both. Secondarily, the repeaters have been hit hard by the weakening of multiple sources of attack speed they used to keep their DPS up, so they’re also getting some love.
-
Axe base attack speed increased by 10%
-
Hammer base attack speed increased by 5%
-
Repeaters base attack speed increased by 10%
-
Strikers
-
We’ve been continuing to monitor Strikers since their introduction and they have been consistently outperforming other weapons. These changes in conjunction with the attack speed changes are a step towards us bringing all the weapons in line with one another.

Striker’s total combo (all combos combined) damage reduced by approximately 7.5%

Fixed some rare crashes that could occur when changing dyes, changing your weapon, when multiple audio events played at once, or when using the Slay with Friends bounty card.
-
Fixed a bug where the FPS and resolution would not reset when clearing video settings.
-
Fixed a bug where PC players could not quit the game if it had gone offline for maintenance.
STORE
-
Fixed a bug where some bundles in the store might not show included items.
-
Fixed a bug where shop, mastery or hunt pass screen music would never stop playing if you were on those screens in the airship lobby when the countdown timer began.

Flare markers can no longer be hidden behind player markers.

Fixed a bug where some NPCs in Ramsgate did not have the correct quest markers.
