Version 0.45.0

1 November 2026Compatibility changes

Update the modpack before joiningThis release requires a newer modpack. Update your installed pack in the launcher before joining again.

One inventory on E: your gear, belt and holster slots, build totals and four saved loadouts in one screen.
A deeper fight: stamina, blocks that wear you down, parries, ripostes, combo chains with a finishing stroke, and balance you can break.
Each of the nine named blades now has a technique of its own, from the half-sword grip to the mercy stroke.
Bleeding, adrenaline and exhaustion are shown beside the crosshair and in clear rows of signs, and a bandage roll stops the bleeding.
Update your pack: an old client cannot join this server.

All changes in this version

One inventory

Press E for everything you wear: armour, the second hand and the belt, holster and face slots sit around your figure. Click a part of your figure to see how well it is covered.
The panel on the left adds up attack, defence and load. Click a total to see what makes it up, and hover an item to see how it would change your build.
Hovering a weapon or a piece of armour shows a short card with up to three bars, compared with what you wear. Hold Shift for the full figures.
Save up to four loadouts and switch between them. Each armour piece takes a second to change, so changing in a fight leaves you half dressed for a moment.

Stamina is back. Swings, blocks, sprints and rolls spend it, and heavier gear makes it smaller and slower to return.
A block costs stamina for every blow it holds. When stamina runs out, the guard breaks and you stagger.
Alternate the direction of your strikes to build pressure; an unbroken chain ends in a finishing stroke that cannot be parried.
Blows wear down balance. A fighter with no balance left can be finished, and a perfect parry opens a riposte.
Where a blow lands now follows the swing. A cut lands at the shoulders, an overhead blow at the crown, and only a thrust or a bullet reaches the face. A mask or visor in the new face slot covers it.
Guns pay for their rate of fire with recoil, a hot barrel and slow turning for heavy guns. Damage per shot never changes, and bolt-action rifles now fire faster.

Weapons now pierce by their metal as well as their kind, so a better blade is a better blade against armour.
Matched armour sets make your gear lighter at two pieces, cover their weakest spot at three, and work as one harness at four.
New belt, holster and bandage roll. The holster draws a pistol or a dagger in a quarter of a second. The belt dresses a wound or mends what you hold while you stand still.
Armour made with care now protects better, and lined armour guards the part it covers.

Each named blade has one technique a skilled hand could do with steel. Think of the half-sword grip, a thrust between armour joints or a four-cut series.
Every technique has a cost and an answer: read the blade's card and the guide page before you meet it in a fight.

Combat signs appear beside the crosshair only in a fight: stamina, balance, pressure, the finishing stroke and the parry window.
Help is shown as circles on the left and harm as hexagons on the right, each with a shrinking edge for the time left. Hold J to name every sign.
Bleeding never kills on its own: crouch still for two seconds or use a bandage roll. Adrenaline after a parry or a kill gives a short-lived shield of health.

Several weekly goals can run at once, each sized to how many people played this week, with one person's share capped.
A public war page and a Discord board show the open goals, rifts and the week's fronts, tides and herds.
Groups can now say they take newcomers, and new players without a group see who does when they arrive.
Three new mods: Autochef's Delight, Ping Wheel (pings reach only your party) and Exposure film cameras.
The server now warns staff once when it fails, not every few seconds. It rolls back a broken update and checks the world's ground before it starts.

Money owed to a group that disbands is no longer lost, and an outpost counter now pays the same market fee as the order book.
A bounty pool now goes only to the reaper who ends the hunt.
A warlord cannot be raised twice while its fight still stands, and a counter refuses a purchase if its price changed under your click.
A named blade lost with a corpse that vanished comes back into the world in time.
