Release: 1.1.0

1.1.0 marks the arrival of Escalation, a new way to play Dauntless where your level of success increases your level of difficulty. Do well enough and you'll be able to take on an all new Behemoth, Malkarion. There’s also a new HUD, the addition of quick chat, a new player inbox, and a ton of bug fixes. This patch is a big step forward in our performance improvement journey, with increased FPS on all platforms.

QUALITY OF LIFE
