🎣Speargun & Physics Stability Update 🐟

New weapon? Check. Boat no longer imploding? Also check. This update brings spearfishing online and delivers a much-needed physics + monster stability pass. Here’s what’s new:

🎯 Spearfishing Is Now Live!

• The Speargun is finally available to buy!

• Spearable fish now spawn in the wild with unique behavior and visuals

• Aim assist, travel time, and crosshair polish added

• Spearable fish now jump and dodge, to try and avoid players' spears

• Hook system for storing and displaying catches on the boat, much needed for the large size of spearable fish

• Visual and audio feedback when a spearable fish is nearby

• Tons of polish and bugfixes to syncing and audio

🛠️ Hull Breach & Repair Kits

• New mechanic: Patch up hull damage with Repair Kits before your boat floods

• Repair kits play sound effects when picked up or used

🧪 Physics & Monster Stability

• Codfather spawn rate, vertical position, and behavior tuned (also doesn't insta-kill due to Hull Breach mechanic!)

• Boat takes damage on bumping into land, you'll have to be more careful now!

• Jump force, physics jitter, and desync issues resolved

🐟 Fish, Loot & Biome Updates

• Spearable fish loot values balanced

• Spearable fish now trigger proper visuals and rewards

🎤 Audio & VOIP Fixes

• Push-to-talk now works again

• Fixed VOIP spatial panning bug (no more everyone-inside-your-head)

• Audio pass on speargun, spearable fish, and ambient zones

🐛 General Bugfixes

• Fixed crashes from shop and save system edge cases

• Tutorial engine and ignition now work for all players

• Swimming resets correctly on respawn

• Fixed: disappearing fish, double meters, tentacle prompts, and more

🐙 Known Issues

• Fish might jitter slightly when hooked, still better than yeeting off the boat!

• TV power button doesn’t sync for all players

• Red emergency light may persist between sessions

• The new hook system has no visual feedback yet, vibe it out and it should work (ish)

• Rare issue where players spawn on docks when resetting a run
