Chaos Gate Update 7 Patch Notes – June 15, 2022

Performance Improvements

• Optimisations have been made to some cinematics to increase FPS.
• Optimisations have been made to the Combat HUD and some enemy abilities, that will generally improve performance.
• Optimised cameras on the ship to help performance in some rooms, notably the Teleportarium, Barracks, Libris Malleus and Manufactorum.

Abilities & Stratagems

• Gate of Infinity is being used to make challenging missions into trivial encounters. This creates an issue around balancing missions and needs to be addressed to ensure the long term health of the game. To that end, we’ve made a slight cost adjustment to the Stratagem for all Grey Knights so that they will receive -1 AP upon use. This does not impact Gate of Infinity’s primary purpose of group mobility, but should make it less useful to over-simplify game challenges.
• Grey Knights using Crushing Charge (Justicar Ability) encountered issues when overcoming various terrain height differences. These have now been made much more forgiving, as well as the ability now also becoming immune to Autos.
• The Armour bonus provided by Defend Position (Paladin Ability) now consistently applies and remains until the end of the turn.
• Teleporting will now properly remove a Grey Knight from being under Suppressed fire.
• The tooltips for Teleport Swap and Arcane Weapons upgrades are now more clear on the ship.
• The Grey Knights’ ability panels will now properly update after using a Stratagem. In particular, this affected the Willpower Stratagems. Players will now immediately see that they can use their WP abilities again after using the Stratagem.
• Grey Knights currently affected by Arcane Weapons will now properly see targeting lines and damage predictions as normal.
• Adjusted the descriptions for Hammerhand and Astral Aim to display +100% Crit Chance instead of 100% Crit Chance. These abilities give an increase chance to crit, not a guarantee. Other factors, such as certain enemy defences, can lower the ability to crit even if these abilities are used.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Grey Knights who had Communed with the Fallen and had the Battle Prodigy or Devoted Practitioner Talents to get an incorrect number of Ability Points on level up. This will now affect future “level ups” but will not backdate to those previously affected.

Grey Knights

• If you acquire Garran Crowe with a full Barracks he will now have a portrait in the pop-up.
• Grey Knights will no longer animate running in place when interacting with Turrets. They will need to get their cardio from elsewhere.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Grey Knights to animate incorrectly after being grabbed by enemies and the game then being saved and loaded.
• Fixed an issue that could cause problems with the lettering customisation on Grey Knights wearing Mastercrafted Armour.
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to assign ability points to newly requisitioned Grey Knight from the Barracks.

Equipment

• Extractor Servo-Skulls will now properly work on large units.
• Promethean Spray will now properly explode all Plasma Batteries in its area. None are safe!
• The visual effects on Garran Crowe’s Black Blade of Antwyr is now consistent in and out of combat.
• When applying Endurance Biomancy with an Apothecarion Servo-Skull it will now properly apply the Purify effect.
• All Biomancy upgrades will now properly be applied when using an Apothecarion Servo-Skull.
• Scattershot will now properly target enemies that have broken cover.
• The Mastercrafted Psycannon Retribution will now properly play its visual effects when using Astral Aim.
• The proper visual and sound effects will now play when using Hammerhand with a Force Sword.
• Fixed an issue with the Apothecarion Servo-Skull that would make all Biomancies cost only 1WP instead of the normal amount.
• Fixed an issue where the Apothecarion Servo-Skull would not appear in the inventory when unlocked with Commune with the Fallen.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Servo-Skull range to be displayed incorrectly on the ship while wearing armour that increases Servo-Skull range.

Enemies

• Plague Marine AI has been improved when very far from Grey Knights.
• Plague Marine Hazard Spray targeting and behavior has been improved.
• Plague Marines will now appear in larger groups earlier in the game.
• A number of balance changes to Aeger the Benevolent have been implemented:
  • Aeger’s Plague Flail damage increased to 7 (was 6)
  • Aeger’s Plague Flail arc increased to 60 (was 45)
  • Aeger’s Plague Flail has Afflict (Weakened, 100%, 2 Turns), (was Plagued (4 Turns))
  • Rivers in Aeger fight now Afflict (Plagued, 100%, 2 Turns), (was Hobbled)
• Significant improvements made that will affect all AI movement decisions.
• Blightlord Champions will now properly cancel the actions of Grey Knights in Terminator armour that act or move within their defend area.

• Fixed an issue that caused Malathian’s Summon Effigy ability to not correctly display its banner at the top of the screen.
