Addendum
Below are the patch notes added after the hotfix post went live:
- Fixed an issue where the Terminal Overload chest could be looted multiple times for rewards and crafted weapon progress.
- Crafting progress now comes from the key chest and not the base chest.
- When the mods Ashes to Ashes and Hands On are equipped at the same time, players will only receive Super energy from one of the mods when killing an enemy with a grapple melee. When these mods are equipped individually, each will work with the grapple melee.
- Grenade Kickstart will no longer activate when using a grapple point.
- When the mods Firepower and Heavy Handed are equipped at the same time, only one Orb of Power will spawn when killing an enemy with a grapple melee. When these mods are equipped individually, each will work with the grapple melee.
- Reduced Super gains from Ashes to Assets by 50% when getting a grapple melee kill after using a grapple point.
- Players no longer need to have the Strand subclass equipped to gain Unraveling Rounds for their Strand weapons from the Allied Unraveling perk.
- Heavy weapons will more consistently gain increased ammo capacity from multiple Reserves mods. This does not apply to Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, Heavy Glaives, Leviathan's Breath, and One Thousand Voices, since their maximum ammo capacity is reached by equipping fewer mods.
- Fixed an issue where the Fighting Lion Grenade Launcher was incorrectly benefitting from the Void Holster mod.
- Fixed an issue where the Harsh Language Shotgun now correctly activates Void artifact perks.
- Fall damage is now nonlethal to players. Previously, only collision damage was nonlethal.
