Gaijin Entertainment has dropped a fresh update for Active Matter, version 0.1.0.155, packed with changes that could shake up your loadout strategies in this time-loop tactical shooter.
Weapon Mods Get a Major Revamp
One of the biggest highlights in this patch is the complete overhaul of weapon modification effects. Suppressors now help tame recoil, making those stealthy shots more controllable during intense firefights. Stocks have been tuned to speed up your aiming, which is a game-changer for quick engagements in unstable zones. Players who love customizing their gear will appreciate the new display showing how mods affect aiming speed and recoil – no more guesswork!
Scopes have seen their weight impacts reworked, potentially altering how you balance mobility and precision. Magazines got some balancing love too, ensuring they're more viable across different playstyles. This could lead to more diverse builds, encouraging experimentation in harvesting active matter while dodging anomalies and rivals.
Balance Tweaks and Bug Squashes
Shotguns received adjustments to improve firing accuracy, fixing issues that might have frustrated close-quarters combatants. Dog tags now come with rarity tiers and can list monsters as killers, adding a fun layer to collecting them after tough encounters.
On the bug front, Invisibles won't glow after death anymore, preserving that eerie post-mortem vibe. Spawn points have been spaced out to prevent those awkward immediate clashes. Damage overflow from limb hits has been refined, which might make battles feel fairer and more strategic.
What's New in Quality-of-Life Features?
Quality-of-life improvements shine here: You've got double the loadout presets now (up from 5 to 10), perfect for switching between harvesting runs or PvP setups. Squad invites let members peek at available raids, streamlining group play. The Shelter's ambient sounds are toned down and mute with music, creating a more immersive downtime experience. Plus, you can build playlists in the music player for those long sessions.
Other fixes include correcting the streaming injector's display to avoid negative values, updating ampoule descriptions for accurate 75 HP heals, and refreshing the respawn beacon icon. These tweaks address player pain points, making loops in Active Matter smoother and more enjoyable.
Overall, this update refines the core loop of survival and extraction, potentially shifting meta strategies. For the full patch notes, check out Gaijin Entertainment's official site.
