- REACH ANOMALIES -
// DEV NOTE: It's time for another Reach Rotation—but instead of dropping on Thursday this week, they’re dropping today! And we’ll be adding not one, not two, but three anomalies to shake up your adventures.
Please note that these anomalies will go live at 12:00pm PT (9:00pm CEST). Once live, all three will remain part of the game’s randomization pool and loot tables permanently.

- GAME MODES -
VERSUS AI
- Versus AI has now been split into two separate modes:
- Easy vs. AI:
- Easier difficulty, perfect for learning the game
- The Reach is smaller than Artifact Hunt and doesn’t include all possible hazards
- Hard vs. AI:
- Harder difficulty, great for those who want to hone their skills
- The Reach is the same size as Artifact Hunt and you can encounter any hazard
- Both modes will continue to grant experience
- Experience can be earned by completing missions and gameplay / exploration
- Experience will be capped at 70k per match (same Artifact Hunt)
- You cannot progress Infamy or Streaks in either mode
- Easy vs. AI:
- PROGRESSION -
MISSIONS

PLAYER CARDS AND LEVELS
- New "Gift of the Primes" style added for the Hunter
- Unlocks at prospector level 100
- Added more badges and titles to unlock!
- SHIPS -
// DEV NOTE: We’ve heard your note that defending a ship from boarders can be difficult, so we’ve adjusted how quickly Secure Doors repair to help with ship defense, especially on the Scout and Hunter.
Speaking of the Scout...balancing this particular ship has been a difficult line to find. We’re hoping the changes today will bring it more in line with the other ships.
---
SHIP DESIGN
- Secure Doors now repair twice as fast
- Ship engines will now always drop a turbine whenever a ship is destroyed, even if that engine was broken at the time of destruction
- Hologram effects are now more transparent while you are on the helm or turret station (this should make it easier to see what’s happening around your ship)
SCOUT
- Health decreased to 70 (was 80)
- Afterburner no longer lasts longer than other ships
- PROSPECTORS -
// DEV NOTE: We've slightly buffed Sammo to help make him more viable inside and outside of his ship. We’ve also made some changes to Venture to help improve his utility in the hands of very experienced players.
---
SAMMO
- Health increased to 130 (was 120)
- The Quiet range increased to 40m (was 20m)
VENTURE
- Time before health started regenerating decreased to 3s (was 4s)
- Time needed to reach max health when regenerating decreased to 1s (was 3s)
- WEAPONS -
SONIC BOOM
- Reduced ammo in the clip to 4 (was 6)
- LOOT -
// DEV NOTE: We've heard your feedback on Laser Ram, Mine Layer, and Shock Field. As a result, we've decreased the drop rates for all three of these hardpoints, and we've also made some additional changes to Mine Layer and Shock Field.
The burst damage from Mine Layer mines is extremely high, so we are trying to give the ship that is getting mined some warning before it takes that damage. We've also made some light nerfs to the Shock Field. We hope that these nerfs, in combination with their reduced drop rate, will make them less central to ship battles. We will be watching these changes going forward to see if they are effective or if more is required. (We are continuing to monitor Laser Ram and may make future changes as needed based on your feedback.)
