Latest PTS Update (June 16)
We just released a new patch for the PTS that brought Legendary Perks back to the PTS with a few quality-of-life improvements, and included a number of bug fixes.
Legendary Perks Return to PTS
We’ve re-enabled Legendary Perks in the PTS with today’s update, and you should once again be able to play test with them. We’ve also made a couple of quality-of-life changes to the Legendary Perk system:
- Legendary Perk Swapping: You can now unequip your Legendary Perk Cards at any time in exchange for a very small number of Perk Coins, instead of having to wait until you unlock a new Legendary Perk Slot.
- Legendary Perk Slots: You can now save your Legendary Perk selections even if you still have Legendary Perk Slots that are empty.
Art & Animation
- Nukes: Explosion and blast zone visual effects now animate properly and no longer stop playing after launching a nuke.
Items
- Plasma Caster: Players now correctly learn to craft Ultracite Plasma Ammo after learning the Prime Receiver Plan for the Plasma Caster.
Legendary Perks
- Brawling Chemist: Rank 4 of Brawling Chemist no longer awards more Super Chems over time than intended.
