Pretty please, remove or massively change Sledge Saga vol. 5. (double XP on sledge headshot kill). It makes progression feel wrong (achieving high level before any good loot appear or any progression is done).
A person using sledge is always the highest level in the game. Makes playing in group annoying cuz sledge user is always massively ahead of XP if left alone even for a couple of missions.
I'm not a fan of PvP but I have a friend that already knows everyone will go sledge not to be behind on XP to anyone else.
Getting 20% XP buff is overall hard (either t6 nerd cap, or learning elixir, which are either lategame or situational things) and it's supposed to stay that way. Getting double XP on something so earlygame focused and common as headshot sledge kill, is basically like setting your XP gain to 180% for majority of the game. Saga is already crazy good, if that was 10% XP instead for double it would already be very good, or change it altogether. Honestly other Sledge Saga books need some revisiting as well, but this one in the biggest offender for certain.

As for the perks changes and hopefully meaningful Slugs buff, pretty good stuff, let's see how it plays out.
 
I feel like you went a bit overboard with the hard target nerf. Isn't it just a conditional Pain tolerance without stun resist now? The other perk balance changes are great though.
 
Okay, now wait a minute, devs. You are now forcing the intro quest to only work on the forest, even if people turn off biome hazards and want to spawn somewhere else and use a trader in another biome as their initial trader? That isn't good at all. I get that you are making your RWG maps extremely linear, but for everyone who wants more control, taking that away by cleaning it to only the first isn't good. You can't even ignore that quest and do other quests instead. You would have to use a mod to remove or auto compete that quest now just to be able to play a map where you don't start in the forest unless you don't plan to do any quests.

If you want to clamp it to the biome the trader is in so it can't send you to other biomes, that is absolutely fine. But don't clamp it to only the forest. I assume you did this so people can't get sent to do the intro in a biome that will kill them. You can do that by clamping it based on where the trader is without preventing people from doing it from another biome if they want to.

Or at least give us the option to skip that intro quest.

Can't you make an update so we can use our regular save file like before and just update that for the ps5 and console versions for us

Not possible. There are too many changes. You should expect needing a new save for each of the major updates (2.0, 3.0, and 4.0). Minor updates like 2.1 should not normally require a new save. You have the option to not update your game until you are finished with your current save and ready to start over.
 
I am quite impressed that this game-breaking bug has been resolved so promptly.

Screenshot 2025-06-20 213002.png
The only question I have is how this issue went unnoticed in the weeks leading up to the 2.0 released?
I heard numerous times testers where already playing and testing the build prior to the release;
nearly everyone who joined our server observed the problem on the first day.

Please continue to provide such great fixs, this is what the community really wants,
Excellent work!

100% agree.
 
Love seeing the nerf to some of the perks, surprised siphoning strikes didn't.

Slugs are useful again, unsure why HoldingItemHasTags wasn't used to help balance out the 4 shotguns. Nonetheless a change I've been waiting since A21 to see!!

The nerf to the bleeding perks outside of deep cuts now makes the bonus bleed damage pointless as the 1dmg/sec is negligible. IMO if someone does a spear build and they invest points in deep cuts, their spear should benefit, the spear is a knife on a stick.
