Ruptured Cistern
We know you’ve been busy thinning the hordes of Xenomorphs in the Cistern, Marines. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed! If you got the limited rewards, you’ve earned ‘em! If you haven’t, sadly, your time to collect is over. But that doesn’t mean game over. Starting today, the limited time rewards from the Winter Event have been replaced with new permanent rewards. You’ll want to boot up and hit the Cisterns again to look for those all new weapon colors, emotes, and a new decal.
Some weapons, attachments, and rewards have been adjusted, and you’ll notice those Horde Mode rewards menus are much easier to read.
Like you, we’ve also been busy killing bugs. Read on for the full report of everything in this patch, and then get back to business, jarheads!
BUG FIXES
REWARDS
In addition to the below changes to Cosmetic rewards, all Game Mode reward tables have been updated so that they 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 previews to better clarify possible rewards for each set of 10 waves.

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 of these have been pooled together now. All modes now grant access to first tier of Attachment/Perk rewards when completed on Casual or Standard difficulties, unlock access to the second tier of Attachment/Perk rewards when completed on Intense difficulty, unlock access to an additional Universal Perk on Extreme, and unlock access to the final Universal Perk on Insane difficulty.
Point Defense Cosmetic Rewards: Rewards that previously only dropped in a specific difficulty tier, will now also drop in higher difficulty tiers. For example, if a reward used to be earned by beating Point Defense on Intense (and only Intense), it will now have a chance to drop in Extreme and Insane difficulties if the reward has not been previously granted.
Horde Mode - Likasi Tower Cosmetic Rewards: Now has two (2) additional rewards (Weapon Check emote on any difficulty, and Corpsman Up Decal on Intense+ difficulties).If you beat a higher difficulty, and haven't received previous tier cosmetic rewards, those can be earned if you have already been granted the rewards associated with the higher difficulty tier.
Restock Turrets - Tower Cosmetic Rewards: Now has two (2) additional Decals (Little Buddy, Substantial Value) available as rewards at Extreme+ difficulties. Additionally, if you
