Gaijin Entertainment has just dropped update 0.1.0.174 for Active Matter, bringing a host of tweaks and fixes that should make your time-loop adventures smoother and more engaging. From rebalanced mechanics to squashed bugs, this patch focuses on what matters most to operatives battling in unstable zones.
Major Gameplay Enhancements
One standout change is the boost to the maximum Active Matter you can harvest in a raid, now capped at 300 instead of 100. This gives players more flexibility in resource management, potentially allowing for bolder strategies without constant extraction worries. However, reviving teammates now costs more Active Matter with an exponential scale, adding a layer of risk that could make squad play more intense and decision-heavy.
Daily Nexus contracts have been upgraded to include chances for rare weapons, making them a must-do for gear hunters. Plus, the drop rate for the PU 3.5X optical scope is higher, which might shift mid-range combat dynamics in your favor.
What's New in Active Matter Update?
Respawn points have been fine-tuned for fairer starts, and 'High-Priority Cargo' containers are now unbreakable, ensuring your quest progress stays safe. A new notification system alerts you when grabbing components for fuse recipes, with a handy tab to check them mid-raid—super useful for on-the-fly crafting.
Body Sleeve resistances got a rebalance, and enriched items now clearly show if they'll unlock blueprints upon extraction. Their spawn rate on Burned Out Operatives is up, and the Makarov Honorary pistol replicates faster, letting you get back to action quicker.
Bug Fixes That Matter
On the fix side, issues like the ASh-12 showing invalid attachments are gone, and Robot Dogs won't get stuck in coal anymore. Bullets now penetrate tree leaves in Headquarters raids, fixing a pesky realism gap. Flowermen can properly down operatives now, ramping up the threat level in those encounters.
Other quality-of-life wins include no more screen blur on sniper equip, correct object rendering in scopes with realistic magnification on, and silent casing ejections during unjams—perfect for stealthy plays. Dropped weapons stop twitching, and vibrant colors stay true, enhancing the immersive, reality-warping vibes of Active Matter.
This update polishes the core loop, making it easier to focus on harvesting that precious substance while dodging anomalies and rivals. As a tactical shooter fan, these changes feel like they address community pain points head-on, potentially extending those addictive time-loop sessions.
