Updated Features

• We have added new sets of class penances, with tiered cosmetic rewards to go along with them. The new penances provide more straightforward progression goals and are aimed at reinforcing the class roles, rewarding playing them well without disrupting the game.
  
  
  • The old class penances have been moved to a tab at the bottom of the penance menu under ‘Redacted.’ We consider them to be more of “trick challenges, " often requiring the entire team's collaboration and a break from normal gameplay. This can be a lot of fun but should not be mandatory or forced upon unsuspecting teammates.
    
  • Some of the old penances have also undergone some number tweaking to make them more achievable as a solo player without interrupting your teammates. Also, we have added a private session requirement for some Ogryn, Psyker, and Zealot penances to clarify that they require full team collaboration to be completed.
• We have also updated some of the existing penances. The Steam/MS Store achievements will be updated to have the same requirements as the penances with the same name.

Balance Tweaks

Enemy Units

• Changed spawn distribution for Heresy and Damnation, weight default population towards more Scab Maulers while introducing more variations of Elite patrols. Please note that the total amount of Elites and total threat value of all enemies spawned remains the same.
  
• Made heavier stagger variations require more impact for Scab Maulers while tuning their walk switch distance and increasing their ranged stagger resistance. They should still stagger, but prefer the lighter stagger reactions. This makes them less prone to fall over with the rest of the horde and instead stand and take the pain.

  • Torso ranged multiplier from 60% to 75%
    
  • Increased base Plague Ogryn hitpoints from 16000 to 19000.
• Rebalanced monstrosity hitpoint pools over difficulties:
  
  
  • Sedition: decrease to 60% from 65%
    
  • Uprising: decrease to 75% from 80%
    
  • Damnation: increase to 300% from 250%.
• Fixed case where the Daemonhost could stay longer than intended after players got revived during the fight.

  • (min/max Peril quell time from 1.5s -> 4.5s to 1.0s -> 3.0s)
