- Fixed recipes for advanced armor alterations
- Adding new UI to recipes so what items the attachment can be attached to is shown on both the recipe and item popup itself
- Rebalanced talent changes for more streamlined decision making, with investments in the same talent being more worthwhile. – Changed crossbow innate effect to attacks cause slow, instead of pinning, this is a longer lasting effect that will provide a more consistent bonus
- Adding Icons for Armor Alteration Tech Tree Packs
- Adding in base datatable setup for the Bioled leather armor set, currently in the data tables as hard leather, entries are just a copy of the base leather set until we do a stat and recipe pass, missing dynamics on the chest piece which will be in the next pass
Fixed
- Replaced a flammable check with verbose logging that was causing clients on dedicated server development builds to crash
- Fix a couple of issues which were causing some dialogue audio and subtitles to play twice or more in a row for clients
- Added an auth check to the base travel quest’s overlap event, as previously this meant clients could trigger duplicate dialogue on themselves when they arrived at a quest destination
- Removed NetMulticast from the TriggerPooledDialogue function, as this calls a second function which is also an RPC and could result in duplicated function calls on clients
- Add new Durable entry for Target Dummy with 10x increase of hit points
- Refactored dialogue ZEPHYR_002 to work with new subtitle timing system, subtitles should match closer with voice acting
- Set Target Dummy and Target Bullseye to use new higher durability row

- Added self valid check to FLODFISMComponent tick to try fix physics crashes while the player is travelling
- Added a FLOD valid check to FlammableTarget to fix crashes related to fire spreading
- Replaced a code verify with an ensure in FireInstanceBase to improve FLOD debugging while in the editor
- Electric Extractor stays active after removal of the generator it is attached to after relog, ensure energy networks register correctly on reload, this prevents possible exploits with picking up the generator on an active network
- Renaming CriticalStrongPointDamage Stat to be HardenedPointDamage
- Adjusting Critical Hit Damage Calculation so the CriticalHit Stats are used as a Plus Percent instead of a Percent
- Adjusting Player Critical Hit Base stat to be lowered from 400 -> 300 – Damage works out to be the same as previous, but each point from critical hits from talents / tools is now more impactful
- Adjusting Player HardenedPointDamage stat from 25 -> -75 to work with critical system changes, the values work out to be the same as before
- Crossbows now all have the innate stat of AttacksCauseImmobilise_% with a value of 25
- Adding Crossbow Innate Stats (AttacksCausePin & HardenedPointDamage)
- Committing missing source files for Virtual Stats and Actor State which was breaking the build and the critical hit changes
- Fixed typo in the Crushed Bone description
- Updating Stats on Talents – Soft Spot I, Soft Spot II, Deadly Thrust I, Deadly Thrust II, and Deadly Stab to make them worthwhile
- Fixed rifle rounds, incendiary rifle rounds, and pistol rounds using the wrong collision asset when fired; shots fired using these ammo types should now be significantly more accurate (this won’t affect intentional weapon / movement inaccuracies)

- Fixing locations of Essentials Chest on Target Range Mission, and updating contents
- Update Tracker head attachment to grant +15% critical damage, instead of radar scanning speed
