Mechanics

Balance

• Eogunn can no longer deal damage to his allies affected by Galvanic Field with arc rifles' additional lightnings;

• Pasqal's Axial Fortification no longer increases all incoming damage, only Shock;

• Charge Distribution has its explosions' damage reduced from (Eogunn's INT) to (Eogunn's INT Bonus * 3);

• Wounded Beast and Facing the End talents got upper limit for their bonuses. Due to the change for the number of traumas these two talents got about x1.5 increase in effectiveness making them incredibly powerful. We've wanted to scale it down on the high end, lowering it to the old maximum;

General

• Blade Dance Ability didn't work with Blood Oath ability - fixed;

• Invulnerable enemies are no longer affected by the minimal damage settings;

• Lidless Stare now correctly deals damage to turrets;

Items

• Improved the rewards for multiple puzzles in the Infinite Museion content;

• Psyker's Breastplate no longer gives +1 Psy rating for each psychic phenomena. Now it only works for Perils of the Warp, but gives +2 for each instead. We have noticed that it provides an easy way to increase your psy rating beyond any reasonable amount with very little risk for the user. This item was meant to be a risky way to gain power, and it once again will be.

• Combi-tool of Manipuli now clarifies that it requires Potential Energy to use Energy Concentration;

• Updated the icon for the Combi-Tool of Manipuli;

• Pungent Smoke Grenade effect dealt 20 Toxic damage instead of applying 20 levels of Toxin - fixed;

• Disturbed stacks applied by Xenospasm Grenade were removed all at once instead of 1 per round - fixed;

• Locations

• Pasqal will no longer randomly change location on the bridge after save-load;

• Nuncius will no longer sometimes bug out on elevators, remaining in a different zone to the rest of the party;

• On Tirkuaz-4, sometimes the return to the voidship was blocked - fixed;

• On Tirkuaz-4, companions could sometimes remain standing in the air or fall as the container started to move - fixed;

• On Tirkuaz-4, characters sometimes jumped very high when trying to reach the satchel - fixed;

• Transonic cannon color adjusted;

• Heldrake statue in the Museion has been slightly improved;

• Fixed visuals of the augmented crowd coming to thank the Lord Captain after allowing them to use the Sector Bionica - they will no longer look like Chaos mutants;

• Improved the visuals and effects of the puzzle at Dargonus Exhibition.

User Interface

QoL UI Improvements

• Returned the “Favourite” filter button to the level-up screen;

• In the Augmentations screen, enabling the "Hide unsuitable" filter was incorrectly hiding every augmentation, leaving the list completely empty. The filter now hides only augmentations that genuinely cannot be installed on the currently selected character — those that do not fit any of the character's augment slots, or that fail the character's installation requirements (such as origin or background restrictions). Augmentations that are valid for the character but currently locked behind an unmet augmentation tier remain visible, with their tier requirement still shown, so you can plan what to install now and later;

• Soldier's Firearm Mastery remaining attacks are now shown above the Soldier's portrait as buff stacks;

General

• Added unique icons to multiple augment abilities;

• Fixed an issue where the Equip option was offered in the inventory item menu for items that could only go into a locked slot. The button is now hidden in the console additional menu and grayed out in the PC context menu, and attempting to equip into a locked slot no longer plays the equip sound — it shows the standard "can't insert" warning instead;

• Fixed the Augmentations window so the right-click context menu can now be opened on locked, mechanicus, and other non-removable augment slots, allowing players to reach the "Info" option on any slot that holds an augment;

• Updated the icon for Eogunn’s axe;

• Fixed an issue in the Augmentations screen where on console and with a controller, opening the window left focus on the left-side augmentation slots instead of the inventory cells;

• Fixed “Bile Throw” ability description;

• Fixed a bug with settings still sometimes duplicating in the character appearance customization window;

• A handful of new abilities from The Infinite Museion DLC had incorrect AP costs displayed - fixed;

• Blood-Fueled Cruelty ability description clarified;

• Fixed an issue in the Main Menu where the "Message of the Day" panel did not switch to its controller layout;

Character screen UI

• Commissar’s Cap caused the origin headgear to be removed even if the display of helmet was set to “hide”;

Space and Colony Management UI

• Exit button in planet management sometimes didn’t work - fixed;

• Fixed an issue in the colony management projects list where executing a project with the "Show completed" filter disabled caused the selection to jump to an unrelated entry further down the list. Focus now moves to the nearest adjacent project instead, keeping the list position stable regardless of the filter state;

• Fixed some of the new rumours from DLC3 not working correctly - fixed;

• Some of the colony stat bonuses from the projects were incorrectly calculated for new colonies - fixed;

• Vedka had an incorrect portrait during space events - fixed;

Lord Captains!

Yet another hotfix 1.6.0.475 is on the way, fixing two major bugs:

Patch Notes

Uralon the Cruel Rework

Following extensive player feedback, Uralon’s mechanics have received a massive overhaul in this update to better reflect his menacing nature. He is now a unique, capable and tough combat unit with abilities and talents that can turn the tide on the battlefield, exactly as a Heretic Astartes should. And so are his daemons.

We hope you will enjoy these changes:

Updated Heretic Astartes Origin

• All Uralon’s stats have been increased by up to +40;

• Uralon has received Charge, Kick and Combat Master abilities similar to Ulfar;

Updated Abilities

Dark Pact Uralon loses wounds equal to 20% of his maximum wounds, granting an ally +(wounds lost by Uralon + 2 × Heretical rank) temporary wounds.

Infernal Call Uralon randomly summons one of the following daemons: Pink Horror, Daemonette, Plaguebearer, or Bloodletter. That daemon fights on Uralon's side until the end of combat. This ability can be used again if at least 9 enemies were killed in combat;

New Heretic Astartes talents

These talents will significantly boost Uralon’s capabilities in combat:

Pleasure in Slaughter The character's FEL bonus is added to their Strength. Whenever an ally deals critical damage or kills an enemy, Uralon regains FEL bonus wounds. If the ally is a daemon, or Uralon himself performs the action, he regains twice as many wounds.

Blessing of the Dark Gods All supporting Master Tactician abilities possess additional effects. Whenever used on allies or Uralon himself, they grant a damage bonus that equals their Heretical rank. If the target of the ability is an allied daemon, it also gains +(2 × FEL bonus)% armour penetration and +3 MP. Whenever affected by Fervour, Uralon can target others with Linchpin, Inspire, and Strongpoint. Uralon's Finish the Job deals full damage.

The Voice of Lorgar As long as Uralon is conscious, Uralon's allies gain +1 AP for every 2 Heretical ranks they have.

Chains of Hatred All daemons summoned by Uralon gain a bonus to Weapon Skill, Strength, Agility, Toughness, Perception, Willpower equal to 50% of Uralon's Fellowship characteristic. Whenever a summoned daemon hits, Uralon gains +(10% of damage dealt by the daemon) stacks of tactical advantage (or +(25% of damage dealt by the daemon) stacks of tactical advantage, if the daemon scores a critical hit). Uralon's allies do not suffer from Manifestation of any daemons.

**Profane Zeal ** Whenever damaged, this creature gains a +1 damage bonus until the end of combat. Stacks.

Master of Union Uralon gains a deflection bonus equal to the total Heretical ranks of his retinue.

The Dark Apostle's Patronage This creature is immune to all negative effects of daemonic Manifestation.

New And Updated Unique Items

Scarce itemization has always been a major problem for Uralon. We’ve added a plethora of new available items for him and updated his existing items:

Inherent Blasphemy Pistol

• Added burst fire mode to this weapon;

Uralon's Accursed Crozius

• Added a Sweep attack to this weapon;

Bloody Retribution Armour

• Added +30 additional Strength bonus;

Halo of the Dark Apostle The wearer has +10 Toughness. When Orchestrated Firestorm or Last Volley is active, all attacks made by summoned daemons deal +100% more damage and all attacks made by other allies deal +25% more damage.

Tread of Corruption The wearer gains +5 Agility and +1 MP. The wearer does not provoke attacks of opportunity when moving, and the Kick ability costs 0 AP.

Daemonologist's Gauntlets The wearer begins combat with (2 ×FEL bonus) stacks of tactical advantage. +5 Strength.

Frost-Covered Amulet The wearer gains +15 initiative. Whenever the wearer uses Press the Advantage, the ability also affects daemons summoned by the wearer.

Ring of the Chaos Preacher The wearer gains +10 Weapon Skill. Whenever a summoned daemon hits an enemy, the wearer gains a +1 bonus to Fellowship, or a +5 bonus if the attack scores a critical hit, lasting until the end of combat. Stacks.

Warlock's Signet The wearer gains +30 Lore (Warp). Whenever a target affected by the effect of Inspire performs a heroic act, the wearer immediately gains an extra turn.

Unholy Inspiration The wearer gains +15% armour. Whenever Press the Advantage is used, the number of tactical advantage stacks spent is converted to temporary wounds for the wearer.

Daemon Bug Fixes

Uralon’s Daemons had a number of miscalculated stats, incorrectly functioning or entirely non-functional abilities, and could lose their abilities mid-combat under certain circumstances. All these have been addressed.

Updated Origins

With the Augmentations coming in The Infinite Museion DLC, Forge World and Pasqal’s origins have been updated to better integrate and synergize with the new system:

Forge World Origin

Now provides additional augmentation slots;

Pasqal

• Has received unique augmentation slots and unique starting augmentations;

• Machine Spirit Communion – Formula adjustments: (2 x INT bonus + number of Tech Priests’s ferrum sanctum stacks). Now also applies a convulsion effect test that makes the enemy Staggered and increases shock damage suffered by +20% on failure.

General narrative changes

• Changed the dialogue option in the first Abelard's quest that sent Senechal to deal with the problem himself, to make it more aggressive and obvious that the Rogue Trader does not want to be involved in Abelard's personal matters. That should help the player understand that this decision will have negative consequences (and cause Abelard’s second quest to fail automatically because the stern man will not come seeking aid before it’s too late).

Act II

• During the conversation with the Fabricator-Censor on Kiava Gamma, it was possible to motivate Abelard and Argenta multiple times, and Abelard's response was incorrectly showing as spoken by the Forgefiend - fixed;

• Fixed a bug that caused the dialogue about the force shield at the Epitaph to never start;

Mechanics

Balance

• The amount of experience required for a level up has been exponentially increased with every level, to compensate for the player power increase through DLC and patch content;

• A scrutinous consistency pass was made over all cases of obtaining experience in Act I, for a smoother progression;

• Extensive review of companion starter builds to make them more effective and get rid of talents that are unfitting for their role in combat or useless for them;

• Certain Bladedancer and Executioner abilities have seen a serious redesign and balance updates:

Bladedancer - Death From Above and Death Waltz

After every jump from Death From Above or Death Waltz, the Bladedancer receives a stacking debuff of -20% Dodge and -10% STR, -10% PER up to -50% until the beginning of their next turn.

Executioner - Forced Repentance

The target now takes a resistance check for every DoT type it has on itself when the ability procs. On a successful resistance check, the effect fails for that DoT type and is not applied. Typically, you’ll see about ~15-30% procs resisted, depending on target type and level.

**Executioner - Scourging Strikes **

The formula was changed from (2*StrB) to (StrB + PerB) to reduce scaling and allow for more diverse build options.

Executioner - Where it Hurts

The effect of this ability is subject to the same resistance checks for every DoT type as described in Forced Repentance, failing to consume that DoT type on successful resistance. The target can also no longer gain new stacks of the DoT effect that was already removed with this ability, until the end of the turn.

Executioner - Carnival of Misery

This ability was completely redesigned, becoming a single-target attack that causes damage equal to 4x the damage from DoTs on the target. DoTs are not consumed by this attack.

The upgrade

With the huge 1.5 update rapidly approaching, we've found an opportunity to push some of the fixes for annoying issues forward, deploying them early. Enjoy!

• Having Familiars in your party no longer causes activation of stairways to fail in the Xenos Crypt in Act V;

• Fixed an endless combat turn loop in one of the encounters at Rykad Minoris;

• Heinrix's cloak could duplicate when equipping a new one - fixed;

• Cold Trader's Acumen now consistently gives double bonus to skills;

• Removed an error speaker case at the Freight Line dialogue;

• Incendia no longer scoops the brain of the condemned man if the Rogue Trader has already executed him;

• Clicking on an unreachable position now causes a warning message instead of sending the character to the nearest available location;

• Hot on the Trail ability now allows only one enemy to be Trailed at a time;

• Point of Curiosity now costs 2 AP instead of 1 AP;

• Fixed a case of Error Speaker in the dialogue with Chorda on Footfall;

• Mandrakes now correctly die after attempting their death-triggered attack;

Patch Notes:

• Based on player feedback, the Heartless, new escort ship from Lex Imperialis, will now appear instantly rather than after finishing repairs in Act IV. Its stats will be a bit lower while in Act II, to represent its damaged state;

• It is no longer possible to land on Thassera without Solomorne under certain circumstances;

• Solomorne no longer inserts himself into some dialogues when he’s not in the party;

• Fixed cases of incorrect behavior of Precognition ability that would sometimes prevent the player from ending the turn;

• Fixed severe FPS drop caused by unexpected interaction between Relentless Blaze and Will to Live. Also fixed Relentless Blaze not counting Soul Burn as burning;

• Fixed desyncs caused by saving during the preparation round;

• Inactive weapon sets no longer provide the weapon bonuses to characters in addition to the active set bonuses.
