Alongside the DLC launch, Update 4.2 includes bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements!!!
Here are the changes in Update 4.2:
UI & Quality of Life
Kukul Offering Panel Overhaul
The old list-based search system has been replaced — now you can simply select items you own to exchange them directly. Exchange a certain quantity to receive Kukul Cola as a bonus.
Shop UI Overhaul
Buy and sell functions have been merged into one. The UI for Dayna's and Stein's shops has also been updated.
Gallery Improvements
Cover images were previously locked to safe-mode versions. They will now change according to the content rating of each scene.
Monster Pre-Attack Indicator Effect Improved
New Features & Balance
Early-Game Weapon Upgrading Added & Upgrade Material Cost Reduced
Previously, weapon upgrades were unavailable until Eloney was invited, after which they jumped straight to +2. This has been improved — upgrades for weapons and armor are now available from the start, and upgrade costs have been reduced accordingly.
Eloney's Wraith Sword & Shield Changed (+1 → +2)
With the introduction of early-game upgrading, the Wraith Sword & Shield given by Eloney has been upgraded from +1 to +2.
Cyberware Crafting Cost Reduced
Crafting costs for all Cyberware except end-game Cyberware have been reduced. Additionally, the HP reduction debuff triggered by Cyberware skills — removed in Patch 4.1 — remains gone.
Cyberware Quest Fix
During the main quest, Nicole's Cyberware surgery event will now automatically equip the E skill.
Combat Balance
Homing Missile Pattern Improved
Missiles that previously tracked indefinitely while decelerating will now only home in within a fixed speed and distance.
Boss Monster Patterns Updated (In Progress)
Vespa's infinite charge pattern and Agenis's dense attack pattern have been toned down.
Shotgun Guard Attack Animation Changed
Bug Fixes
Eloney Subquest Boss Arena Improved
Fixed an issue where monsters would not move after spawning, or where the Wave Cannon would fail to fire.
Optimization In Progress
Unnecessary files and code are being cleaned up.
This wraps up all the updates we had been preparing!
Going forward, we plan to focus on story and romance cutscene updates, while continuing to improve quality of life and combat balance!!
None of this would have been possible without all of you! Thank you so much for playing our game!!!
