2.1.6: changes, platforms and known issues

Hotfix 2.1.6 is available on Steam. The developer announced the GOG, console and mobile versions for the following week, so a fix on Steam does not establish that another platform has received it.

Changes that affect a run

Change	What to do differently
Chest sequences accept any button to skip	Use an input to advance to the reward rather than waiting through every opening
Gallowdark and Imperial Bastion chest placement fixed	Dropped rewards should no longer appear in the inaccessible positions covered by this fix
Plague Marine boss variants and Meganobz adjusted	Old launch footage can overstate their current durability
Catachan rescue weapon fixed	The rescued Legend of Catachan uses Frag Grenade rather than the incorrect Chainsword
Lingering mushroom poison fixed	The removed cloud should no longer continue applying the affected poison behavior
Missing Extremis defeat hints fixed	Read the hint after a defeat for the relevant counter weapon

Skipping becomes available after the first chest of each rarity, as described in the developer FAQ.

These changes do not remove the recipe requirements for an evolution. A chest can be reachable and still have an upgrade-only reward slot. Use the chest rules when the weapon and passive are ready but the result does not appear.

Paint objectives changed

The Nuln Oil and D6 Dice kill requirements for Agrax Earthshade and Reikland Fleshshade were reduced. The announcement does not give the replacement numbers. Read the objective counter on your installed version before planning a long kill run from a launch-week guide.

The named paint collection required for a character remains a different objective from the kills that unlock access to a paint. Paint collection unlocks separates those steps.

Saving and device workarounds

The developer’s current known-issues post asks players who encounter missing run saves to return to the main menu before quitting. Finish the run, return to that menu and allow it to complete before closing the application.

For incorrect Steam Deck resolution, use the in-game Resolution setting. On Nintendo Switch 2, a Switch Pro Controller’s D-pad may fail in menus; the developer’s workaround is joystick navigation. These are specific published workarounds, not confirmation that every display or saving problem has one cause.

Demo progress and future updates

Demo progress does not carry into the full release. The demo was a separate curated experience. The developer has also announced a free content update before the end of 2026, without publishing that update’s full mechanics in these hotfix notes. Current guides continue to use the released rules until those changes arrive.
