Crimson Desert 1.13.00 Adds Abyss Access & 47 Gear Pieces
Pearl Abyss deployed Crimson Desert Version 1.13.00 at 03:00 UTC on July 3, 2026, with new progression, customization, interface, combat, and stability changes.
News summary
Oongka and Damiane can now enter the Abyss, and Pearl Abyss moved the Memory Fragments tied to four rematchable bosses.
The patch expands character equipment compatibility, adds new acquisition routes, and increases the number of outfits, weapons, and secondary weapons that support dyeing.
A new Hide Minimap and Status option provides a cleaner interface, while Hunter's Sigil gives bird pets an equipment-based gathering role.
Combat work covers firearm use during slides, faster Axiom Force targeting, and corrections for multiple Oongka and Damiane skill interactions.
Stability fixes address map and boss-rematch crashes, unusually long loading, and PlayStation 5 cutscene stutter.
Update overview
Pearl Abyss widened the Abyss progression path beyond Kliff by enabling Oongka and Damiane. The related Memory Fragment placements changed for Corrupted Caliburn, Goyen, Draven the Crowcaller, and Clockwork White Horn.
Equipment support is broader across all three playable characters. Oongka can use most Kliff outfits, Damiane gains selected boss sets, Kliff and Oongka gain Kuku equipment, and new pieces can come from quests, achievements, shops, and other sources.
The interface and pet changes are optional rather than forced. Hide Minimap and Status sits under Settings > Others > Gameplay, while Hunter's Sigil directs an equipped bird pet toward prey and gatherables that match its specialty.
Version 1.13.00 also changes moment-to-moment control by allowing muskets and pistols to fire during slides and making Axiom Force act immediately on a soft-locked target. Pearl Abyss paired those changes with quest, housing, localization, graphics, loading, and crash fixes.
