Look alive, Renegades! The following changes are available in HAWKED as of the latest update on Thursday, February 29, 2024. Update your game to play the latest version of HAWKED for free on your platform of choice.

NEW CONTENT

PVE CHALLENGE LEVELS

More PvE Encounters in Lone Hunter (Solo) and Treasure Hunt (Squad) modes now have dynamic scaling difficulty depending on your skill level. Matches with more experienced players will contain fiercer Disciple mobs and trickier puzzles. Just keeping you on your toes, Renegades!

IMPROVEMENTS & ADJUSTMENTS

AIM ASSIST REBALANCED (GAMEPAD)

We’ve redistributed the strength of Aim Assist when playing with a gamepad (e.g. DualShock 4, DualSense, or Xbox Controller). It is now stronger when completing PvE-focused puzzles and Encounters but weaker in PvP against other players. Thanks for your feedback on this, Renegades — keep it coming!

      • Fixed a minor visual issue with the Doomerang.
      • New: Each bounce reduces cooldown by 1.5 seconds if you catch the Doomerang upon its return.
  • [b][Exo Gear] Cohort’s Kite[/b]

ARTIFACT BALANCING & CHANGES

BUGFIXES

RENEGADES
  • Fixed a bug where the Adapting Booster didn’t decrease stun duration.
  • Fixed a bug where characters would play a stun animation in the wrong direction after a Stun Grenade hit them.
  • Fixed animations when transitioning from a jump to parkour.
  • Fixed a bug where Nellie’s knife would hang in the air like the Sword of Damocles at the center of the Riftwake.
  • Fixed a bug where a Renegade could die before their squadmate joins the session.
  • Fixed a bug where defeated Disciple and Renegade bodies would rotate aggressively and chase after active Renegades. Not today, zombies!
  • Fixed a bug where players would sometimes get stuck on ziplines in the event of a ping spike.
INTERFACE
  • Fixed a bug where account progress was not shown in the “New Level” notification.
  • Fixed some bugs where notifications would overlay from different interfaces into one while in fullscreen mode.
  • Fixed a bug where the notifications “Target Hit” and “Target Defeated” wouldn’t appear on the HUD or appeared incorrectly when taking down Disciples.
  • Fixed a bug where Quests would appear duplicated in the end-of-match interface.
  • Fixed a bug where Quests wouldn’t appear at all in the end-of-match interface.
  • Fixed a bug where the E keybind was missing after changing the language on the start screen.
  • Fixed a bug where notifications about a new Renegade Pass could be corrupted.
  • Fixed descriptions for Inner and Outer Deadzone settings for gamepad.
  • Fixed a bug with wrong item icons in the GRAIL store.
  • Fixed a bug where previews of Wonderium in the Renegade Pass reward interface would display incorrectly.
  • Fixed a bug where pop-ups would spontaneously close in specific interfaces.
  • Adjusted interfaces to mention Xbox Network instead of Xbox Live.
ITEMS
  • Fixed a bug where, when selecting a voice in the Character Creator, the opposite voice would play.
  • Fixed a bug where the Backpack would jerk around while shooting.
  • Fixed a bug where the arrow tip would not display when using the Predator Traverser.
  • Fixed a bug where the Dragon Dance Backpack would stretch to infinity when getting full.
  • Fixed a bug with textures on the Tribal Locker.
  • Fixed a bug where shadows wouldn't appear correctly in the Character Customization interface in the Loadout.
  • Renamed the archaeologist-themed cosmetics obtained via GRAIL Loyalty to prevent confusion with the Archaeologist Hat given to newsletter subscribers. The GRAIL Loyalty cosmetics are now named: Brave Explorer.
GENERAL
  • Early Access players who did not have Quests in their Renegade Pass menu will now see Quests. These quests have reset.

    • Unfortunately, we cannot restore previous Quest progress, so this means that Quests previously started or completed have been reset. All earned rewards will be retained by Renegades who already completed Quests, and they can earn the rewards again by completing the same Quests. As an apology for this issue, we will be sending all affected Renegades 7 days of GRAIL+ with Update 1.3.2.
  • We have rolled out a fix for players’ Raider Pack items disappearing on Xbox. If you are still encountering this issue, please contact Support.

  • Told the Shroudbaskers to quit grumbling after they perish in battle.

  • Fixed a bug where Glyph sounds wouldn’t play correctly upon pickup.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the Muldoon not to fire. We’ve polished everything in X-Isle’s stashes, so Muldoon combat should be buttery-smooth again.

  • Fixed a bug where players were unable to aim-down-sights (ADS).
