One Click Upgrades - Demo Patch - January 20th, 2026

Changes

• Upgrade selection now requires only a single click. Let me know if anything does not seem to be behaving as you would expect. If you want to dual-wield Weapons or equip duplicates of a Volatile Mod you now need to select the slot you want to equip the upgrade to before selecting the upgrade

• Changed default photo mode keybind for gamepad to d-pad-down instead of right

• Changed default Backpack Ability keybind for gamepad to d-pad-right instead of down

• Reduced base volume of energy depleted sound

• The player's mouse is now moved out of the way when opening the upgrade selection screen while using a controller

• Adjusted location of stat displays in the RIG Part menu to cover your RIG less

• Adjusted the default target selection behavior further

Balance

• Slightly increased scrap rewards from completing objectives

• Reduced cost of many settlement upgrades

• Adjusted horde enemy costs to reduce spawn frequency of powerful enemies early in your runs

• Adjusted enemy spawn location determination logic to reduce enemies spawning on top of the player

Note: Previously, if the game could not find an open area to spawn enemies at a reasonable distance from the player, it would instead spawn them in the nearest hotspot (procedural generation mini-levels used for objectives). Unfortunately, this created situations where enemies would spawn effectively on-top of the player if they were in a hotspot at the time. Now the game instead chooses the second-nearest hotspot to the player if the player is too close to their nearest hotspot

• Reduced bandit assault sentry damage

Bug Fixes

• Fix part menu scrolling not working for gamepad users
