Pit is torn
We know you’ve been busy thinning out the hordes of xenomorphs in the cistern, Marines. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed! If you got the limited rewards, you earned them! If you haven’t, unfortunately, your time to collect is up. But that doesn’t mean the game is over. Starting today, the limited time rewards from the winter event have been replaced with new permanent rewards. You’ll want to reboot and hit the watering hole again to look for all the new weapon colors, emotes, and the new sticker.
Some weapons, attachments, and rewards have been adjusted, and you’ll notice that the Horde mode reward menus are much easier to read.
Like you, we too were busy killing insects. Read on for the full rundown of everything in this patch, then get back to business, lovelies!
Bug fixes
Rewards
In addition to the cosmetic reward changes below, all game mode reward tables have been updated to share the same pool of non-cosmetic rewards. This means that all perks and attachments that were previously only available in some modes are now available in all modes. All cosmetic rewards are still only available from their unique game mode.
The following changes have been made to rewards in the following game modes:
- Reworked the Horde Mode reward displays to better clarify the possible rewards for each set of 10 waves.
- Horde Mode – Broken Pit: The limited winter event rewards have been removed from the Broken Pit Horde mode (Winter Constellations, Deep Freeze, Stay Frosty, Xeno Blessings, Let It Snow, Holly Berry, Antarctic Traffic Control, Icicles)
The following rewards have been added to Ruptured Cistern Horde Mode:
Three (3) new emotions – (intense+)
- assessment
- An elaborate bow
- High fist pump
Three (3) new weapon colors – (extreme+)
- Twisted web assassin
- Twisted web ranger
- Twisted web freelancer
One (1) new sticker – (crazy)
- peace through superior firepower
Game Mode Reward Changes:
- All modes now share the same reward pool of attachments and perks. Previously, some attachments were only available from Point Defense, some attachments were only available from Restock Turrets, and some perks were only available from Likasi Tower. All these have now been consolidated. All modes now grant access to the first tier of bundled rewards/perks when completed on Casual or Standard difficulties, unlock access to the second tier of bundled rewards/perks upon completing High difficulty, unlock access to an additional universal perk on Extreme, and unlock access to the ultimate Universal perk on Insane difficulty .
- Point Defense Cosmetic Rewards: Rewards that previously only dropped on a specific difficulty will now also drop on higher difficulties. For example, if an award was once obtained by exploiting Point Defense on Intense (and only Intense), it will now have a chance to drop on extreme and insane difficulties if the award was not previously granted.
- Horde Mode – Likasi Tower Cosmetic Rewards: There are now two (2) additional rewards (a weapon check feeling on any difficulty, and a Corpsman Up sticker on Intensive+ difficulties). Already received the rewards associated with the higher difficulty level.
- Restock Turrets – Turret cosmetic rewards: There are now two (2) additional stickers (Little Friend, Significant Value) available as rewards on Extreme Difficulty+. In addition, if you play on a higher difficulty level and win, and you have not unlocked cosmetic rewards from the previous tier, they can be won if you have already received the cosmetic rewards from the current tier.
Additional changes to the reward in hardcore game mode:
- Hardcore: Point Defense – Quake: Link rewards and perks that previously only dropped with a certain number of points remaining active will drop even if more points remain active. For example, if an attached reward or perk was once earned by Point Defense wins in hardcore mode, with only 1 point (and only 1 point), it will now also have a chance to drop with 2 or all 3 points. Cosmetic rewards are only available if all 3 points remain active.
- Hardcore: Horde Mode – Likasi Tower: Attachment and Perk rewards that previously only dropped at a certain wave threshold will now drop even if additional wave thresholds are met. For example, if an attached reward or perk was once earned by successfully completing 10 waves (and only 10 waves), it will now also have a chance to drop at a 20+ wave, and attached or perk rewards previously obtained by successfully completing 20 waves (and only 20 waves) now also have a chance go down in wave 30+, and so on. The cosmetic rewards now drop with similar behavior as well.

- 2B1 and Gera: Now properly refreshes the duration of the 4 star perk when reapplied.
- L56A3 Smartgun: There is now a special “target lock” function during aiming/ADS that prevents the weapon from firing if no valid target is found. This will prevent it from firing if no target is found, or if a friendly target is found on higher difficulties.
