News summary
Crimson Desert Patch 1.13.00 released on July 3, 2026 at 03:00 UTC. Its headline change lets Oongka and Damiane enter the Abyss, expanding access to rematch content and related progression beyond Kliff.
The patch also adds dozens of equipment pieces, expands dye support, introduces a Hide Minimap and Status option, adds Hunter’s Sigil, improves weapon and movement behavior, and delivers a large set of bug and stability fixes.
Update overview
Oongka and Damiane can now enter the Abyss. Pearl Abyss also moved certain Memory Fragment locations for rematchable bosses so the expanded character access works with that content.
Kliff and Oongka receive 39 new equipment pieces, including boss outfits, armor, and headgear. Damiane receives eight new armor pieces, Oongka gains access to most Kliff outfits, and more boss or Kuku equipment becomes wearable across the cast.
Player notes
Customization expands beyond new gear. More disguise outfits, weapons, and secondary weapons can now be dyed, and the new Hide Minimap and Status option lets players remove HUD elements through Settings > Others > Gameplay.
Hunter’s Sigil gives bird pets a new retrieval role: when equipped, a bird pet can collect prey and gatherable items suited to its specialty.
Key details
Combat and controls receive concrete changes. Muskets and pistols can now fire while sliding, Axiom Force responds more directly during soft lock-on, and numerous Oongka and Damiane issues involving weapons, movement, targeting, and skills were corrected.
Technical fixes include PS5 cutscene stutter, occasional long loading times, crashes when opening the map, crashes during boss rematches, localization improvements, and a broad list of quest, housing, UI, graphics, and world fixes.
Update checklist
Major additions: Abyss access for Oongka and Damiane, 47 new equipment pieces across the three playable characters, broader dye support, Hunter’s Sigil, a HUD hide option, new carpet and armor recipes, and new enemy attacks.
Platform rollout at publication: Steam PC, Steam Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, and Epic Games Store available; Mac App Store listed for a later rollout.
