Update overview
Arrowhead Game Studios reorganizes the Galactic War flow around Campaigns that group multiple Major Orders into longer operations. The new Control Centre displays the active campaign, current orders and completed campaign history.
The combat pass strengthens deployable support equipment and vehicles. Sentries survive twice as much damage, exosuits return two minutes sooner, and the FRV receives higher body, door and tire durability.
Enemy adjustments reduce durable damage on several units and make the Vox Engine easier to destroy. The patch also includes crash fixes, mission corrections and interface repairs across PlayStation 5, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
