Content / Feature Updates

Beast Riding Goes Live, Gardener Combat Improvements, and Animal Ranching System Optimizations

In this version update, we will roll out a major overhaul to the Class system: the Beastmaster class will be fully revamped with the Beast Riding ability, and the animal ranching system will also see synchronized improvements to ranching rules and info display. Additionally, we will make balance adjustments to the Gardeners' combat capabilities.

I. Beastmaster Comprehensive Revamp

1. New Core Ability: Beast Riding

After this update, Beastmasters will gain a new core ability: Beast Riding. Beastmasters can directly summon animals and mount eligible ones. Centered around summoning, riding, commanding, evolving, and trading, this update will systematically expand the Beastmaster's abilities.

2. Changes to the Animal Summoning Rules

In this update, we will simplify the animal summoning rules: Metas can use animal items directly from their backpack or hotbar to summon the corresponding animal; using the animal item again will recall the animal (summoning animals has a 10-second shared cooldown).

Regarding the summon count, since the Beastmaster's abilities have undergone a full overhaul, we originally planned for each Beastmaster to only be able to summon 1 animal at a time. However, after the change was announced in the Dev Blog, we received a large amount of feedback from Metas in the community, so we decided to keep the setting where Beastmasters can summon 3 animals simultaneously. At the same time, we need to be upfront with everyone about the timeline for this adjustment:

After the September 16 version update (PT): Due to version development and testing schedules, and to ensure version stability, when this iteration goes live, each Beastmaster will only be able to summon 1 animal at a time;
After the September 28 version update (PT): This will be adjusted so that the Beastmaster can summon 3 animals simultaneously (the simultaneous summon limit for non-Beastmaster classes is 1).

This means that from September 16 to September 28 (PT), Beastmasters will still briefly be subject to the summon count restriction. We know this arrangement will continue to cause inconvenience during this period, and this is the result of our previous plan's lack of foresight. We offer our sincere apologies to all Metas.

Regarding animal summon rules, please note the following:

Only adult animals with sufficient Energy (>20%) can be summoned.
Summoned animals will default to an idle state, and Beastmasters can issue commands to them via Beast Whistle.
Each time an animal dies, it will lose a certain amount of Energy.
Non-Beastmaster classes can also summon animals with saddles equipped in the wild for riding, but cannot summon them inside dungeons or during combat.

3. Riding Rules

Bareback Riding: When encountering unoccupied wild animals in the wild, or summoning animals without saddles, Beastmasters can mount them directly through interactions. Each bareback riding consumes a certain amount of character Stamina; bareback riding is not possible when stamina is insufficient. Animals without saddles will resist the Beastmaster: while mounted, the animal's max stamina will be limited, its special abilities cannot be used, and the animal will attempt to break free.

Saddle Riding: After equipping an animal with a saddle, the Beastmaster can ride it stably. Beastmasters can use saddle items from their backpack, drag the saddle onto the animal, modify the gear in the animal's details, or directly equip the saddle while the animal is anesthetized. While riding, Metas can fire using weapons, perform melee attacks, and engage in gathering, interactions, using consumables, and using Deviation ability without special animations. Performing actions with special animations (such as opening weapon crates, teleporting, or switching worlds) will immediately dismount you.

4. Animal Mount Ability

For Beastmasters, the animal's special ability can be used while mounted with a saddle. Triggered with the Ctrl key on PC, by tapping the dedicated button on Mobile, and with the R1+X/RB+A button combination on console.

Non-Beastmaster classes cannot use animal special abilities or benefit from their effects. In the current version, the animals supported for riding are Deer, Boar, Bear, and Wild Buffalo. We will continue to expand the types of ridable animals in the future. Wild animals do not possess active/passive skills themselves; only Beastmasters can utilize these abilities when riding with a saddle.

5. Class Trait Adjustments

Beast Partner: When a Beastmaster approaches an animal, the animal will not flee or attack, and the Beastmaster can directly listen to the animal's thoughts and check its Stats and Traits. The Beastmaster can also use the Beast Whistle to issue commands to summoned beast partners, directing them to perform specific actions such as combat and gathering. A Beastmaster cannot issue commands to animals that are more than 10 levels above their own level. Animals summoned using animal items default to a waiting-to-mount state and will only enter an assisting state after the Beastmaster issues a command via the Beast Whistle. Non-Beastmaster classes can also summon combat animals, but the summoned animals do not possess combat abilities. The original three types of Beast Whistles will be merged into one. The whistle is no longer bound to a specific animal and only serves to command animals. Beastmasters will learn its crafting formula by default. The original red beast whistle will be directly renamed to "Beast Whistle" and retained; the other two types of whistles will not be uniformly recalled, and Beastmasters can actively use them to transform them into the new "Beast Whistle". This update will not uniformly recall old whistles, nor will it uniformly distribute new whistles.

Breeding Expert: Beastmasters can craft gene items to perform targeted modifications on animal genes, granting animals unique traits; they can also gradually improve the level of animal trait attributes through breeding and exploration. This update will also adjust animal trait attributes, adding 7 new attribute groups and adjusting 2 existing attribute groups. The movement speed bonus for animals while mounted is a separate stat from the movement speed bonus for animals in normal state. The default animal movement speed bonus does not apply to animals while mounted, but it still applies to animals summoned to assist in combat and exploration. (An animal's mounted state and combat state are separate behavioral states; traits that apply to the combat state cannot take effect in the mounted state.)

Wilderness Master: Beastmasters can craft and replace gear and saddles for animals, providing ability bonuses for animals in normal and mounted states respectively; they can also sell saddled animals to other Metas, allowing other classes to ride animals as well. When Beastmasters carry animals, they can also significantly reduce the animals' weight. Only Beastmasters can craft and replace animal gear and saddles. Metas of non-Beastmaster classes can only check the gear and saddles currently equipped on animals and cannot replace or change them, but they can still benefit from existing saddle effects. After a Beastmaster trades an animal wearing a saddle to another Meta, the ownership permissions for the corresponding animal and saddle will be adjusted accordingly.

6. Class Starting Items and Default Formula Adjustments

Beastmasters start with the following items:

Starting Partner: Choose one animal from Deer, Boar, or Bear.
Beast Whistle: Issue commands to summoned Beast Partners.
Basic Saddle: Equip it on an animal to unlock mounting ability.

Beastmasters start with mastery of saddle, animal ranching, animal breeding, and tranquilizer throwing needle-related tech formulas without needing to unlock them separately. They also master the crafting formulas for tranquilizer throwing needles, animal troughs, and youngling huts.

7. Beastmaster Usability Optimization

Manual Feeding: To make it easier for Metas to ride animals in the wild, this update adds a manual feeding feature. After summoning an animal, Metas can interact with it to feed it manually. The feedable content matches the animal's preferred food. Animals with insufficient Energy cannot be summoned. If a Meta attempts to summon such an animal through the backpack interface, the system will automatically open the feeding interface. Please note: Animals in ranching state within a territory do not support manual feeding.

II. Animal Ranching System Optimization

This update will also synchronize adjustments to the animal ranching system, with the core objective of reducing daily maintenance burden and making ranching rules clearer.

1. Simplified Ranching Maintenance Rules

In the current version, Metas need to simultaneously monitor multiple stats such as Tameness, Energy, and Hydration, which results in high maintenance costs and a lack of intuitiveness. After this adjustment, the core judgment for animal ranching will focus on Energy:

Animals will no longer have Tameness or Hydration stats.
Rules for growth, breeding, byproduct production, and slaughter yields will all be governed by Energy.
The "Docile" trait related to Tameness will lose its effect and be replaced with a new one—increasing the growth speed of younglings.
Trait attributes will be unlocked sequentially when animals reach Lv. 20, 30, 40, and 50. Traits already unlocked before the update will not be affected.
After this update, feeding Mixed Meat Feed, Mixed Grain Feed, or Mixed Herb Feed will only increase Energy.

After the adjustment, animal Energy will be divided into the following three tiers:

Energy	Byproduct Production	Slaughter Yields	Youngling Growth	Breeding Conditions
80% ~ 100%	Efficient byproduct production	Rewards large supplies	Normal growth	Breedable
20% ~ 80%	Normal byproduct production	Rewards Moderate supplies	Normal growth	Not ready to breed
0% ~ 20%	Pause byproduct production	Rewards small supplies	Pause growth	Not ready to breed

In simple terms, if you want animals to grow, produce, and breed steadily, maintaining a higher Energy level is more important.

2. Animal Status Display and Offline Feeding Optimization

To make farming status more intuitive, the animal list will now include icons for Energy status, Courtship status, and Breeding Cooldown status. Breeding-related statuses will also be more clearly displayed in animal info, making it easier for Metas to quickly assess an animal's current production, growth, and breeding state. This update also optimizes offline feeding logic so that animal food consumption during offline periods behaves as expected:

Offline feeding only consumes items from the animal trough; items discarded on the ground will not be consumed.
Body Boost Feed will not be consumed during offline periods.

3. Animal Distribution Tracking

In response to popular demand from Metas, this update adds animal tracking to the World Map. All Metas can check the distribution of all animals in the current scenario under the World Map's [Filter - Resource Tracking] Tab. The relevant rules are the same as those for crops and ores tracking.

III. Gardener Combat Optimization

1. Portable Planter Box and Biomechanical Crop Adjustments

This update will enhance the Gardeners' combat capabilities: the Portable Planter Box can now hold different types of biomechanical crops simultaneously, and the abilities of each biomechanical crop will also be strengthened, giving Gardeners stronger sustained damage and field control in combat. To ensure the enhanced strength remains within a reasonable range, we have simultaneously introduced a durability rule as a new usage cost.

Portable Planter Box Usage Rule Adjustment: Portable Planter Boxes loaded with different types of biomechanical crops can now be placed independently, with cooldowns calculated separately. This means Metas can deploy multiple biomechanical units on the field at the same time, enabling richer tactical combinations.
Portable Planter Box Durability Rule Adjustment: The Portable Planter Box will be adjusted to an item with durability, consuming a certain amount of durability with each use. This rule is a usage cost introduced alongside this ability enhancement, used to balance the strengthened biomechanical strength. When durability is depleted, the Portable Planter Box will be consumed along with the biomechanical crops inside.
Biomechanical Crop Grafting Rule Adjustment: After the update, the abilities of Balloon, Rainfall Reaper, Flare Bulbfly, Watcher, The Portal, and Agent biomechanical units will be strengthened and will no longer be differentiated based on grafted crops. Grafting different crops will only affect the cosmetic appearance of the biomechanical units, allowing Metas more freedom in cosmetic matching.

Biomechanical Crop Ability Adjustments (overall enhancements) are as follows:

Name	Ability after adjustments
Biomechanical Balloon	Upon placement, taunts nearby units. Explodes after a certain duration, dealing damage to targets within range based on the target's Max HP.
Rainfall Reaper Biomechanical	Upon placement, provides Status DMG bonus to Summoners within a certain range, and periodically grants additional Status DMG bonus.
Flare Bulbfly Biomechanical	Upon placement, provides Weapon DMG bonus to Summoners within a certain range, and periodically grants additional Weapon DMG bonus.
Watcher Biomechanical	Upon placement, selects an enemy target within range and petrifies it.
The Portal Biomechanical	Upon placement, firing at the Portal will teleport the user back to the Portal biomechanical unit.
Agent Biomechanical	Upon placement, continuously attacks the nearest enemy target, dealing DMG based on the Summoner's Psi Intensity, with DMG increased based on the number of existing Agent Biomechanical units.

2. Additional Notes on Usability Optimization

Portable Planter Box Display Optimization: Portable Planter Boxes loaded with different biomechanical crops will now be clearly distinguished on item pins.
Biomechanical Part and Facility Description Optimization: All Biomechanical Parts and Facilities will now have their functions and post-grafting ability effects detailed in their item descriptions.

Dev Blogs: Animal Summon Limit Adjustments for Beastmasters & Other FAQ

The Way of Winter & Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve Scenario Permanent Server Merge

Since the launch of permanent servers, we have received a lot of feedback regarding the permanent server experience, including issues such as low populations on some servers, Metas in the same scenario being scattered across multiple permanent servers, and returning players being assigned to different permanent servers where they cannot reunite with friends. Additionally, a considerable number of permanent servers have low active populations, making some game modes impossible to participate in or start. To truly bring Metas in the same scenario together in one world and make the permanent server experience more complete and lively, we hope to move forward with permanent server merges.

After discussion and surveys with Metas, the permanent servers for the "The Way of Winter" and "Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve" will bring a better experience after merging, as the population is moderate and the gameplay mechanics will not be affected by an increased number of worlds. Therefore, we will proceed with merging the permanent servers for these two scenarios. For "Manibus" and "Endless Dream", as the population is relatively large and the mechanics are more complex, we will evaluate whether to proceed with server merges after refining the plan.

The permanent server merge plan has been updated as follows:

"The Way of Winter": Will take place during the version maintenance on September 16 (PT) (covering North America, Europe, South America, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and HK & MO & TW regions).
"Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve": The South America region will proceed at 05:00 server time on September 17, and is expected to be completed within 1 hour. Other regions (North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, HK & MO & TW) will be handled in subsequent batches, with specific times to be announced in advance via official announcements.
"Manibus" and "Endless Dream" permanent servers currently have no merge plans. If there are specific merge plans, they will be announced in advance via official announcements.

Please note: To ensure data security during the server merge, some Metas may be forcibly logged out during the merge. Please wait a moment, and you can sign in again to continue playing once the merge is complete. After the merge, when your character is migrated to the new permanent server, your character level, supplies, tech level, and more will be transferred without any loss. The task progress on the original server will be uniformly reset to the scenario challenge tasks and rewards of the current new permanent server. Your hive relationships will also be synchronized to the new permanent server. Merge Notice

[Update Preview] Character Customization and Hairstyle Dye Will Soon Be Free

To let Metas shape their image more freely, we will make the following adjustments after the September 28 version update (PT):

Free Reshape and Hair Dyeing: Facial and body reshaping, as well as palette hair dyeing, will no longer consume any items such as Chrysalis Tokens or Butterfly Dyes. Visit the floor mirror in the territory at any time to freely reshape and change hair color without item consumption.
Chrysalis Tokens and Butterfly Dyes Withdrawn from all Channels: Items already obtained will not become invalid. After the update, they can be converted into Colorful Badges (each Chrysalis Token → Colorful Badge ×120, each Butterfly Dye → Colorful Badge ×60).
Price Reduction for Metamorphosis Token: The gender-change item "Metamorphosis Token" is reduced from 880 Crystgins to 300 Crystgins.
Compensation for Recent Purchasers: Metas who purchased Chrysalis Tokens or Butterfly Dyes from the Shop using Crystgin or Colorful Badges within 3 months before the September 28 version update (PT) will receive a full refund of the currency spent. Metas who purchased Metamorphosis Tokens during this period will receive a Crystgin refund of 70% of the price difference (580 Crystgins each). Compensation is auto-distributed via in-game Mail after the update.

Character Customization and Hair Dye Are Now Free

First Person Mode on Mobile Added Auto-Fire Setting: Bow Auto-Fire Charge

To significantly improve the DMG per shot and combat feel of bows under auto-fire, a bow auto-fire charge option has been added to settings. When enabled, bow-type weapons in auto-fire will prioritize charging and will only automatically fire once fully charged.

New Survival Scenario: Isles of Abyss Coming Soon

With this update, we will launch the pioneer test for the new survival scenario, Isles of Abyss. Metas who signed up through the earlier recruitment can switch to the pioneer server via the button in the top-left corner of the scenario selection interface after the test begins.

Final Pioneer Confidential Test: Test Duration: September 16 at 9:00 PM (PT), expected to last for 22 days. This scenario presents a brand-new maritime survival challenge, featuring the complete Isles of the Abyss map — explore scattered islands, gather resources amid dynamic weather and day-night cycles, build facilities, and confront environmental and mysterious enemy threats. This is the final test, focusing on the complete scenario experience, planned as "Phase I: 5 days, Phase II: 17 days" (test schedule only). Recruitment

Server Opening Schedule

The opening schedule for Manibus scenario servers in North America and Europe has been adjusted to every Tuesday and Saturday at 8:00.

RaidZone Updates

Optimized the display of the entry icon for the portable crafting feature. Now, when there are completed items awaiting collection in the portable crafting queue, the icon will be highlighted.

Experience Optimizations

Mods: A Guarantee mechanism has been added to Shiny Mods. After 5 consecutive failed transformations, the 6th attempt is guaranteed to succeed. The count starts from this update onward; previous attempts do not count.

Cosmetics: The Furniture "Golden Shore Pool" in the Furniture Pack "Summer Echoes" now supports swimming.

Events: Optimized the Interface prompts for Cross-Platform Rewards, making guidance clearer and more straightforward.

Visional Wheel:

To ensure the production quality of new Visions, the end time of the Gravity Abyss Vision has been adjusted and postponed to November 18 (PT). A brand-new theme and gameplay await!
Abyssal Essence now includes additional exchange counts for Stardust Secret Crate·S14 (Epic) and Downstar/Aero Mod Crate·Nightmare.

First Person Mode: Optimized the camera switching logic. Metas can now directly interrupt a character's idle animation when switching to first person camera — smoother and more fluid, no longer slowed down by unnecessary animations.

Combat Balance Adjustments

We continue to receive feedback requesting effect reworks and numerical adjustments for some less-used weapons. This update reworks the mechanics of MG4 - Conflicting Memories (more weapons to follow in later updates) and adjusts the Treacherous Tides Set.

After reevaluating the benefits and user experience following the set adjustments — while keeping the direction of changes such as the 3-piece set DMG bonus shifting from Sanity to HP-driven, and the 4-piece set Shield enhancement — we will be reverting some of the DMG bonuses:

The 2-piece set DMG bonus is restored from 10% to 12%.
The 3-piece set's base Weapon and Status DMG bonus at 100% HP is increased from 0% to 8%, and continues to increase as current HP decreases, with the maximum remaining at 28%.

The final comparison of old and new effects is as follows:

Adjustment Details	Before	After
2-Piece Set	When HP is below 70%, Weapon DMG and Status DMG +12%.	When HP is below 70%, Weapon DMG and Status DMG +12%.
3-Piece Set	The max HP effect from low sanity is decreased by 40%. Weapon and Status DMG +10% and further increases as your sanity drops, up to +28% (reached at 30% of max sanity).	Low Sanity reduces Max HP by up to 60%. Weapons and Status DMG increase as HP decreases, with a minimum of 8% (reached at 100% HP) and a maximum of 28% (reached at 60% HP).

September Combat Balance Adjustment

Wilderness:

Optimized the Ancient One Echoite experience in the "Prismverse's Clash". If Echoite falls into water, it will float on the surface, and you can open and pick it up on the water surface.
Metas who teleport, switch world, or respawn at the Worldstone will now have collision between characters removed for a certain time and range. This effectively prevents congestion and blocking when multiple Metas appear at the same time.
In the Manibus, Endless Dream, Evolution's Call, and Prismverse's Clash, Wild Buffalo have been added to the Chalk Peak Region.

Territory Construction:

Optimized the collision detection for some stairs structures when placed adjacent to each other, improving movement smoothness and reducing lag.
Increased the soundproofing of the Securement Pod — you will no longer hear the cries of the Behemoth from inside the pod.

Vehicle: Optimized the camera behavior when a passenger leans out and ADS while the vehicle is on a slope. The camera will now be positioned at a more reasonable horizontal level.

Dungeons (non-RaidZone only): The dungeon reward "Weapon Body Liner Selection Crate" was incorrectly displayed in the "Weekly Rewards" slot; its display has been moved back to "Challenge Rewards". The actual obtain rule is unchanged and remains "once per character per week" — this only involves the interface display position.

Social: Optimized friend invitation flow on console, improving convenience.

Item: The durability of the advanced recycling tool has been increased by 100%.

Mobile Storage Space Optimization: If Metas notice abnormal storage space usage of the local Client (>30G), they can go to [Settings] - [Basic Setting] - [Memory Optimization] to optimize. Note: This may take up to 1–15 minutes; keep the client open and do not manually exit.

Others: PC now supports Intel XeSS 3.0 and Frame Generation. Enable via Settings - Graphics - Performance - Performance Boost for a more detailed Wilderness and a significant frame-rate boost.

Bug Fixes

Cosmetics:

Fixed an issue where character facial features would clip through certain face accessories.
Fixed an issue where planter skin was not correctly applied to Biomechanical facilities within the territory.

First Person Mode:

Fixed an issue where weapon scope lenses could abnormally turn black when the character was idle.
Fixed an issue where some interactable Items outside the field of view could still be abnormally triggered for interactions.

Territory Construction: Fixed an issue in build mode where Deviation interaction buttons were abnormally displayed, affecting the normal Build operation experience.

Others: Fixed an issue on console where, in some cases, after modifying game settings (such as sensitivity), the settings would occasionally fail to save properly or would reset to initial values.

Dye charges change from per-section to per-component — freely mix multiple colors within a component. Charges are based on the highest-tier color used.
Overall dye pricing lowered — a full dye set costs ~60% less than before.
More dyeable sets and rarities arrive in the September update (UTC+8).
Refund: To protect prior investment, 60% of currency previously spent on dyeing is refunded via in-game mail within 3 business days after the Aug 25 update (existing dye effects unchanged). Example: 7,200 Crystgin + 2,250 Colorful Badges spent → refund of 4,320 Crystgin + 1,350 Colorful Badges.

22 July 2026 3.0.2 Update (July 22) ▾

Content / Feature Updates

New Snap Point Switching for Territory Construction

Added a snap point switching feature in build mode for wall surfaces, ceilings, roofs, stairs, and pillars. Switch between snap points on PC with Shift + mouse wheel, or on mobile with the "switch snap point" button, for more precise connections.

Appearance Preset Data Sharing

Cross-Character Sharing: Character customization data now shares at the account level — any new or existing character can load the shared appearance presets.
Auto-Merge and Activation: Each existing character's saved presets are auto-added to the shared list on first log-in. (Presets of characters that haven't logged in are archived; log in to that character to merge them.)
Capacity Rules: Shared preset save limit is 12 per gender. Auto-merged presets may temporarily exceed 12 without data loss. Over the limit you can still use/edit/delete existing presets, but can't add new ones until the total is 12 or below.

"Item Lock" Feature Launched

Lock any lockable item to protect it from accidental discard, trade, and bulk disassembly. Locking is by item type — locking one protects all items of the same name, and future items of that name inherit the lock. Lock/unlock is instant, with an icon in the item's top-left corner.

Disassemble: Locked items can't be disassembled, are moved to the bottom, and are skipped by "Select All."
Discard: Single discard shows a confirmation popup; batch discard excludes locked items.
Online Trading / Vending Machine: Cannot list for sale.
NPC Shop: Cannot sell.
Controls: PC — hover the item and press the shortcut to toggle. Controller — the corresponding function button. Mobile — "Lock/Unlock" in the item "..." menu.

[RaidZone] Updates

New Gameplay — "Mental Pollution"

Some regions Deviate into "Mental Pollution Zones," currently in 2 levels. Higher pollution = more severe mental pollution — prepare before going deeper.
"Sanity" is replaced with "Mentality." In a pollution zone, Mentality continuously decreases and HP is also lost. Mentality recovers gradually after leaving, or via sleeping at camp, raising pollution resistance, or eating mental-recovery dishes.
All RaidZone gear now has a "Mental Resistance" stat. If your total mental resist is below the zone's minimum pollution value, Mentality depletes — the larger the gap, the faster.
Added 4 survival gear pieces — Anti-pollution Mask, Deep Isolation Set, Gas-tight Helmet, and Mental Shielding Suit — with better mental resistance but weaker defense.

Farming & Breeding Upgraded

Maintaining optimal light and irrigation during growth may grant extra base yield, more rare Deviated Plants, or even RaidZone-exclusive material.
Feeding livestock preferred food very likely triggers rewards — double yield, higher-quality milk/eggs, and a chance at a combat goodie (gear, ammo, tactical items, tools).
10 new special food formulas unlock by default (e.g. Hearty Pumpkin Meat Soup, Star Sprinter Drink), crafted from rare/deviated plants and high-quality animal byproducts, giving effects like increased ore/plant/sulfur gathering efficiency and max stamina boost.
Wilderness exploration can yield the rare "Gardening Gloves" — equipped, plant gathering always yields Deviated plants.
Merchants now buy back special food and animal/plant products for RaidZone Chips. Note: merchant sale/buyback of Meteor Fragments is removed (they're consumables for the Meteor Summoner).

New Rare Item: Telescope

A reconnaissance tool for spotting distant enemies before you get a high-magnification scope. Chance to obtain through wilderness exploration.

Deviation Balance Adjustments

ZapCam: Longer, wider high-speed capture but longer cooldown. Duration 1.5s → 6.0s; Scan Width 25m → 30m; Cooldown 30s → 40s.
Mini Wonder: Reduced control uptime. Cooldown 30s → 35s; Duration 9s → 6s.
Pyro Dino: Reduced suppression. Fire Field Burn 13s → 5s; Flight Speed 35m/s → 20m/s; Flight Lifespan 5s → 3s; Mind Control Fire Dragon Duration 30s → 20s.

17 July 2026 3.0.1 Notices & Bug Fixes (July 17) ▾

Coming in the July 23 update

Everlight Sea (Palace Complex) blueprint interiors: After the Everlight Sea material skin pack and its blueprints released, we received feedback about abnormal interior performance in the design layout. During construction we focused heavily on the external silhouette and overall landscape while neglecting internal spatial planning and living experience. After re-examining the design, we will replace the design blueprint Everlight Sea with a brand-new palace complex style in the July 23 update — re-planning the interior to prioritize real usage and practicality while keeping its aesthetic and uniqueness.
Golden Chime Shower: Many players reported abnormal door interaction. An emergency fix will be deployed after the July 23 update. Thank you for your patience.

The following issues have been fixed

Fixed an issue where the displayed price of custom dye did not match the actual deducted price in some cases. Affected Metas will receive compensation within 3 business days.
Fixed an issue where switching to first person mode was not possible during the beginner stage on PC.
Fixed a key conflict between placing a new territory and the flight mode button when building multiple territories on a custom server.
Fixed an issue where some Metas could not claim their total recharge rewards.

First Person Mode is Now Live (Once Human, RaidZone)

An always-on first-person camera now supports: basic movement/jumping/climbing; weapon use, melee attacks and throws; using items like Medicine and Food; and gathering with bare hands, Pickaxe, or Electric Chainsaw/Drill.

Melee: All melee weapons can slash while moving, with new first-person animations. Light attacks keep multi-hit combos; heavy attacks now charge by holding and release to strike. (Third-person melee is unchanged.)
Weapon Inspection: Fully revamped and usable while moving.
Driving: First entry defaults to first-person; the game remembers your last-used camera per vehicle.
Switching: Set the default camera in Settings (new first-person view and model-distance options). PC: Alt+C to swap, plus a Function Wheel option. Mobile: add a switch-camera button via custom layout settings (hidden by default).
Note: Some cutscenes/skills/interactions temporarily revert to third-person, then smoothly return. Glide, underwater, ladders/ziplines, and some skill animations are planned for the September version.

New weapons QBJ97 - Fiery Trees and Silver Flowers and SN700 - Finale join the Blueprints system.

QBJ97 - Fiery Trees and Silver Flowers: Hits may apply Unstable Bomber; firing may launch missiles (chance rises with shots fired, resets on stop); missile explosions grant [Spark] (reduces recoil/lens shake, max 5); full [Spark] further boosts Unstable Bomber chance.
SN700 - Finale: Hits may trigger Shrapnel (Weakspot hits guarantee it); Shrapnel grants [Reverb] (+1 body part hit, reduced recoil, cleared on reload/swap); boosts the last bullet's DMG by [Reverb] stacks; high [Reverb] makes the last bullet's Shrapnel add more [Reverb].
New Armor — Wind Interpreter Cap: On [Unstable Bomber] explosion, auto-load 1 bullet; Unstable Bomber DMG Rate +25%.
New Armor — Ankh Mask: On empty magazine, chance to consume bullet stock and refill.
New Set — Ghost Link: 1pc crit rate up; 2pc reload efficiency up; 3pc hits may grant [Synchronize] (weapon DMG boost, max 10, 10s); 4pc at 10 stacks, attacks apply [Overload] (self + nearby damage each second for 5s).

New Armor Shiny Mod & New Ways to Obtain

Armor Shiny Mods launch with unique pins and display effects. In addition to the random duplicate-Lv17 transform, you can now earn Mods and Shiny Mods through clear objectives:

Scenario Honor Rating: Reach rating requirements per scenario to claim rewards. Account-level and shared; claimable immediately on meeting the rating (no wait for settlement); each reward claimable once per 30 days with independent cooldowns. Rating tweaks: Prismverse's Clash defeat-player cap → 105; Evolution's Call stronghold conquest single score >30,000 → +20 individual rating, defeat-player cap → 210.
Collection Progress: The mod interface collection progress is now a clickable button split by Weapon build and Armor part; each tier grants a one-time, non-resetting reward.
Text clarification: Obtaining a duplicate Lv.17 Mod may transform it into a Shiny Mod; you won't get two identical Shiny Mods — a duplicate Shiny Mod decomposes into Mod Dust.

New Enemies: Acting Physician & Lady Sea Nettle (non-RaidZone only)

Acting Physician: Disguises as a discarded medical coat in workshop-area hospitals/operating rooms; exposes a chest terminal when active. Grabs targets for "surgery" (escape via QTE). Terminal Weakspot is its true form — destroy it while exposed or it recovers at low HP. Its attacks steal energy to heal; at 0 energy it deals massive DMG, so stay fed and supplied.
Lady Sea Nettle: Lurks in shallow water; a jellyfish water-sac head hides her core. Drains hydration first, then HP. Keep hydration high for more room to break free. When the sac is depleted/damaged, the blue core is exposed — trap her on dry land to prevent reabsorbing water and defeat her.

New Dye System

Consume the matching currency/item to freely combine and dye supported fashions, with real-time preview and one-click comparison. Legendary sets up to June 11 are supported at launch; more sets and dyes will release gradually each version.

New Wilderness Companion: Music Player

Open the Music Player from the Function Wheel to play in-game tracks anywhere (5 new songs added to the Jukebox and player library). Customize playback logic and volume per scene (combat, dungeons, vehicle, log-in) under Settings - Interface.

[RaidZone] Updates

RaidFest

Task Challenge: Tests Gathering, Building, Exploring, Healing, and Combat. Rewards anniversary draw tickets, rare items, Mitsuko's Mark, RaidZone Chips, and Stardust Secret Crate - S13 (Epic).
Survival Challenge: Earn Battle Pass Exp in RaidZone for cosmetic rewards — Avatar Frame/Avatar "A Birthday" and the Anniversary "Heartlit Rain Set."
Wish Wheel: Earn tickets via anniversary modes and the "RaidZone Crimson Moon Carnival." Every 15 draws guarantees a cosmetic — "Rosetta Protocol" furniture, "Trendy" vehicle skin, "Stacked Realm" weapon skins (KAM/TEC9/MPS7). Cosmetics are shared across the anniversary and RaidFest channels; duplicates auto-decompose.

New Mode — Crimson Revelry (limited-time)

PvP only works while Crimson Revelry is active; otherwise Metas can't attack each other.
While active, territory protection is removed and can be raided.
While active, chopping/mining/gathering randomly spawns nearby attackers.
You may meet the Lord of Moonlight (a copy of you) in the wild — defeat it for large supplies/rewards.
Each server lasts 3 days (casual difficulty), then closes and settles; no data is inherited.

Activation: triggers hourly for 1 hour, 12:00–24:00 (server time); no triggers 24:00–12:00.

New RaidZone Weapon: Light Machine Gun — QBJ97

Massive ammo capacity, very long range, high stability, but slow reload and weapon-swap.
Best for mid-to-long-range point defense and legion fire support; control engagement distance and fortify.
Obtain the physical weapon via wilderness exploration, then Reverse Engineer at the workbench to unlock the formula.

Experience Optimization

Crouch Stealth: Crouching now hides footstep sounds and marks.
Health Bar: Trigger duration cut from 8s to 3s and hidden right after the damage animation, making repositioning safer.
Melee Glide Cancel: Mid-air melee backswing can be canceled into Glide for smoother air combos.
Sniper Balance: SN700 and AWS.338 get increased hip-fire/OTS spread, encouraging ADS.
Explosive Hit Logic: Fixed visual/actual mismatch and "swallowed" damage for reliable blast DMG.

[RaidZone] Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where it was possible to create an extra Team under certain conditions.

Weather Settings: Hosts can modify weather for content capture.
Social Settings: Hosts can free or restrict Metas to First or Third Person.

Server Host Incentive Event — [Server Host Call to Arms] (July 9 – July 21 PT): Rewards based on new/returning Metas' total login days within 14 days — 1 day = 3 Worldcoin, 3 days = 6 Worldcoin, 7 days = 10 Worldcoin (highest tier only, no duplicate counting).

[Custom Server] Optimizations

Setting configs now have tutorial guides; scenario setup split into scenario selection and gameplay-mode selection; added in-match templates (Leaderboard, In-Server Shop, host privilege modes).
In RaidZone, the separate Hyper Brawl entrance is closed; a new entrance to join Custom Servers is added.
