Warhammer Survivors patch 2.1.6 is now live on Steam, letting players skip chest sequences and making some bosses easier to defeat. It also fixes an issue that could leave chests out of reach.
Players on GOG, consoles and mobile platforms will have to wait: the changes are scheduled to roll out there starting the week after November 11, with no specific day or time given.
Key points
- Hotfix 2.1.6 is live on Steam.
- Players can skip the chest sequence by pressing any button.
- Plague Marine boss variants and Meganobz have been adjusted to make them easier to kill.
- The changes are scheduled to reach other platforms starting the following week.
Chest changes and fixes
The chest sequence can now be skipped by pressing any button. In the Gallowdark and Imperial Bastion levels, the patch also addresses an issue that caused chests to drop in inaccessible locations. Players can move past the sequence more quickly, while the fix targets situations where a dropped chest could not be reached.
The official November 11 patch notes also announce adjustments intended to make Plague Marine boss variants and Meganobz easier to kill. The team has not specified which values were changed, so the notes do not quantify how much easier those fights will be.
The kill requirements for 2 paint pot unlocks have been reduced. The objectives associated with D6 Dice and Nuln Oil now require fewer enemies to be defeated to obtain Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade. The old and new thresholds have not been specified, leaving the size of the reduction unclear.
The hotfix also corrects the weapon used by Legend of Catachan after being rescued: a Chainsword appeared in place of the Frag Grenade. It addresses a poison effect that persisted after clouds created by Mork's Mighty Mushroom disappeared, as well as an issue that sometimes prevented gameplay tips from appearing after a defeat by an Extremis Boss. These fixes cover separate problems involving a rescued character, a lingering effect and post-defeat guidance.
A staggered rollout across platforms
The changes are scheduled to arrive starting the following week on GOG, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, as well as mobile platforms. The announcement gives no specific day or time for those releases. Players on those platforms therefore cannot assume the changes are available simply because the Steam hotfix is live.
The team is also working on a free content update planned before the end of the year. Its contents, precise release date and platforms have yet to be detailed.
