Salvaging of Redfall Continues: Update 3 and Announcement of Major Novelties
Bethesda and Arkane are not laying down their arms and are still trying to „save” Redfall. An update bearing the number three has hit the game, and the developers have announced further support for the title with, among other things, new content.
Bethesda and Arkane Studios - according to reports - are not going to abandon Redfall. This year's game about vampires, which disappointed the players on many fields, received update number three, introducing some changes and fixes to the game, as well as new content - only it's rather modest.
Description of the latest patch for Redfall includes 42 listed items. Below are the most important ones.
- The Basilisk, a new "unmatched" sniper rifle with a unique feature, has been added. The best chance of finding it is provided by Bellwether containers and vampire nests.
- Improved the balance of enemies' skills and traits so that opponents are a bit more challenging. For example, so-called soulless enemies now deal more damage when attacking players at close range.
- The artificial intelligence of enemies has also been improved. People can finally climb roofs and canopies; the way adversaries find their way has also been improved.
- Bound civilians are no longer displayed as cultists when using the signal.
- NPC patrol paths have been improved.
- Exploration areas in several missions have been improved.
- Added more rebirth points in missions..
- All damage dealing hero skills now cause weakened nest hearts to shatter.
- Improved player visibility on the map.
- Traversing the fog of death is supposed to no longer cause performance issues.
In addition, new accessibility options have been introduced to the game and several critical bugs have been fixed. For a detailed description of the changes, I refer you to this address.
Interestingly, this is not the end of support for Redfall. As the developers pointed out , they still intend to prepare the paid content announced as part of the Hero Pass, including two new playable heroes. We should learn more about it in 2024.
