Biomutant 2.04 patch notes

PC Specific

• Added “Field of View Type” setting for selecting between horizontal and vertical Field of View. Vertical Field of View is useful when using a wider monitor to get the correct aspect ratio. By default, the Field of View is set to be horizontal.
• Addressed crash when temporarily losing contact with the GPU.

PlayStation 4 Specific

• Addressed some menus not working correctly when Enter and Back buttons are swapped.

Progression

• Increased level cap from 50 to 100.

Items & Loot
In order to improve the looting experience, we’ve tweaked how the loot generation works to reduce duplicate items and improve variety. We have also added several new items which have higher stats than their lower rarity counterparts. This means that an item found with a certain rarity can also be found later with a higher rarity and substanitally improved stats.

And to top it off, we have also added a much-requested scrap action to the loot screen, which should reduce time spent cleaning up the inventory.

• Added more superb loot variations.
• Added higher tier relic and legendary weapon parts that will start dropping at level 50.
• Updated loot generation to provide more variation and less duplicate items.
• Added scrap action to loot screen.
• Added settings for hiding or showing head items.
• Increased damage of later tribe weapons to better fit player level and gear.
• Removed addon slots from special gear that can’t be scrapped, lost or crafted with.
• Addressed issue which allowed an unlimited material supply to be gained from crafting.
• Addressed Missile Cloud to correctly fire on every fourth shot during Rapid Shot in Super Wushu.

• Reduced resistance values for Ancient Pants to make other gear more viable.
• Addressed favorite consumables quick menu being scrambled when there are no free slots available.
• Addressed Automaton Health Injector cooldown being reset when using Automaton Boost resulting in Automaton Health Injector only being refilled after resting.

Settings

• Added “HUD > Mode” setting where it’s possible to select either “ALWAYS SHOW” or “DYNAMIC”. Selecting the “DYNAMIC” option hides the persistent UI elements after a while outside combat. When “DYNAMIC” is selected the player can open either menu or quick menu for the UI elements to show up temporarily. By default, the old “ALWAYS SHOW” behavior is selected.
• Added “Quick Menu Toggle” accessibility setting. When enabled the player isn’t required to hold down the corresponding input to open the quick menus in order to e.g. use a consumable or swap weapons. Instead, the quick menus will open and close by tapping the corresponding button.

Dialogue & Narrator
