Patch 1 - 21. September 2018 - 83.8 MB:

Melee Combat
- Melee attack animation playback speed is no longer affected by weapon speed (to match Day 1 combat timings)
- Fix for hit reactions when Shoved not looking correct from some directions
- Fix for melee input queuing bug resulting in the ability to charge attacks while shoving
- Reduced melee input queuing window to reduce unwanted queued actions
- Shove animation duration now 0.8s to match Day 1
- Shove range reduced from 2.0m to 1.75m to match attack range
- Striking a Shoving player now consistently applies a Stagger (this required special timing in Day 1)
- Dev comments: Please see our recent dev diaries, which explain these items in detail. All of these changes are intended to either get combat closer to Day 1 or address inconsistencies from Day 1 that muddied the experience. We will continue to follow community feedback regarding the melee combat systems.
Reduced spawn rate of firearms in Blue Crates and Red Crates
- Dev comments: We like seeing guns turn up in crates occasionally, but the drop rate was high enough that you usually saw several guns in many matches. The drop rate has been reduced by roughly two thirds.
Removed Dynamite, Impact Grenades from Green Crates
- Dev comments: You can still get explosive mines and remote explosives from green crates. This was something we talked about in a previous dev diary but didn’t implement.
Fix for aiming down the sights with a ranged weapon not providing an accuracy bonus
- Dev comments: This bug was introduced when we made some bow accuracy changes for Origins. We’ll be keeping an eye out for Bow accuracy feedback now that this issue is resolved.
We now hide crosshairs when aiming down the sights with ranged weapons
- Dev comments: This is not intended to affect ranged weapon balance, we felt that the crosshairs were a distraction when aiming down the sights.
Voice communication now uses push-to-talk (mapped to Left Alt by default)
Fixed several keyboard keys that could not be mapped
Added menu option to invert mouse Y axis
Fixed bug that allowed players to apply a second satchel to unlock 5th inventory slot
Fix for exploit based on recycling the Detonator for a Remote Explosive
No longer shows player count on main menu (the count was not accurate and didn’t account for players who were in matches)
Fix for bug where Sabre applied cripple wound even when Disabler perk was not equipped
Fix for US West not being selected as an automatic region
Golden Arm perk description now accurately reflects that Golden Arm’s bonus damage scales based on distance from target (reaches 100% bonus damage at 20 meters)
Trapper now provides a single set of Steel Caltrops
Fix for bug with Explosive Runs description that stated the stim grants 25% boost for 30 seconds (it provides 15% boost for 2 minutes)
Fixed UI typo for Headphones

+[[Category:The Culling]]
-*Improved framerate performance for many users
-*Matchmaking system that pits players of similar skill level against one another
-*New [[Auto Bow]] weapon. Quickly fire a magazine of three bolts before a lengthy reload. Bolts deal less damage than arrows
-*New craftable [[Gas Grenade]] weapon. On impact creates a large cloud of poisonous gas. Crafted using a [[Smoke Bomb]] + [[Poison Gas Vent]]
-*2 new layouts added to the Culmination. A layout is chosen randomly by the server at match start to add variety to the central arena
-*New Airdrop: [[Demon Hunter]]: [[Auto Bow]], [[Smoke Bomb]], [[Caltrops|Crafted Caltrops]], [[Caltrops|Crafted Caltrops]]::Cost: 175 [[FUNC]]
-*New Airdrop: [[The Imp]]: [[Auto Bow]], [[Crafted Armor]], [[Tomahawk]]::Cost: 225 [[FUNC]]
-*New Airdrop: [[Viking]]: [[Tomahawk]], [[Crafted Armor]], [[Muscle Man Milk]]::Cost: 125 [[FUNC]]
-*New [[FUNC]] Survival Bonus. The player is now awarded 25 FUNC after 3 minutes alive, 25 FUNC after seven minutes alive, and 50 FUNC after eleven minutes alive. The current Airdrop economy is doing its intended job of relegating high-tier weapons to the later stages of the match, but many players find the costs to be intimidating. This change will put high-value Airdrops within reach, but prevent them from appearing too early
-*Blue Crates have been retired and replaced with Holo Spawners. Holo Spawners contain the same loot list as the Blue Crates (Tier 3 Melee Weapons, [[Orange Juice]], [[Dynamite]], [[Impact Grenade]], [[Compound Bow]], [[Auto Bow]]), but provide a preview of the item you will receive
-*Suiciding into the poison gas will now award the kill credit and [[FUNC]] to the person that most recently dealt damage to you in the vicinity of your death, with some restrictions
-*Added limited-time 4th of July (American Independence Day) hats! These are available to all players for a limited time
