WELCOME TO THE SUPERVIVE OPEN BETA PATCH NOTES! There are a LOT of patch notes to read but if you (like much of the world) are declining in literacy rates, maybe you’d prefer to watch a fireside chat. We won’t judge, but books are pretty fun to read too.

System Changes
Social
[!!!] AFK Detection
Has been added to the game. When a player is detected as AFK, they will be automatically killed/unable to be respawned
Players on the team of a disconnected or AFK player are allowed to leave the game without penalty
Run It Back
A new “Run It Back” button has been added on the team screen of Match Summary
Pressing this button will send a party invite to everyone on your team
New Player Experience
Added further improvements to “Welcome to Skylands” Stormshift for newer players, including the introduction of Resurgence
Resurgence: During the first 3 days, when a teammate is killed, a timer starts on remaining teammates. When the timer expires, the dead teammate is revived.
Added updated tutorial videos in the Learn tab
The Controls Tutorial now has Voiceover
Quests
In Open Beta we’re introducing a new system: Quests! Quests, or things like quests have been in the game before but we never found a shape that really fit… until now - we hope! The goals of the quest system are:
Give players meaningful, strategic decisions in the early game
Add immediate, clear, shared early game goals with compelling rewards
Incentivize smaller-scale, early game PvP collisions
While these things will ideally make the game better for all players, we believe they’ll be especially helpful to players that are NOT in a premade, since there’s now a clear answer to “what should we do right now?”
And now some caveats. This system came in very late in development so there’s a good amount of temporary content associated with it, like:
The vendor is a recolored version of the red key vendor, neither of which are necessarily final in terms of visuals or sound
The way he distributes quests is very bare bones. We’re anticipating iterating here, so please give us feedback on what’s working or not working about interacting with him!
Quest content is a pretty small set. We’d like to add more quests if the system sticks around, and we’d like to add more varied quests! We’re still assessing it ourselves and your feedback is a key driver to where we take it, so please let us know how you feel!
How quests work:
Shortly after you drop, a vendor will appear near your team, offering a selection of different Quests for your team to complete. Your vendor can only be seen and used by your team.
Successfully completing those Quests will give your team a unique reward.
After you complete your first Quest, your team will be offered another Quest (until Day 4, at which point the Quest vendor will disappear). Each quest offered can be attempted once per game.
The vendor will teleport after you every 15 seconds until you accept a quest, or capture a bonfire, or the game reaches day 2. At that point, the vendor will appear above your team’s Base Camp, or if you don’t have one, at the nearest uncaptured one.
Farm Creeps: Farm 16 creeps. Reward: 4 Vive Brews + 1 Hyperscrap per player.
Open Vault: Open any Vault. Reward: 1 Tome of Knowledge per player + 1 Hyperscrap per player.
Supply Drop: Spawn and loot a Supply Drop. Reward: 2 green armor + 1 Hyperscrap per player.
Megaboar: Spawn and hunt a Megaboar. Reward: 2 green armor + 1 Hyperscrap per player.
Note: you’ll either receive Supply Drop OR Megaboar each match, not both.
Circle Tunings
BR games now start with an initial Death Circle. Gold zones and Major Objectives will not spawn in *the initial death circle
For Squad games: Day 1 circle duration lowered by 60s. Subsequent days lowered slightly
Most Wanted
Dying while Most Wanted now sends you straight to Deathbox
Kill credit from spikes will always go to the player who hit the spike, and won't be stolen by damaging a player after the spike starts
Last hit leniency - if the Most Wanted player has an assist within 0.5 seconds of a kill, they'll get full kill time reduction instead of assist reduction
Health/damage reduction clarity
This change shouldn’t feel like a change. In a previous playtest, we gave all hunters some passive damage reduction as an experiment to increase time-to-kill. We liked the change, so we’re swapping the invisible damage-reduction with health to get the same effect with better clarity.
Hidden 3% damage reduction and 5% healing reduction removed from all hunters
All hunters are given +30 base Health (and a small amount of scaling Health per Level) to compensate for the above removals
Other Stuff
As a reminder, all inventory and progression has been reset for Open Beta
The glider “Soft Ceiling” pulls you down less harshly, and should generally feel better
The "Out of Bounds” Buffer does not regenerate until you're on the ground again (thank you zzkknn for showing us that we need this…)
All hunters have received a third Hunter Mastery mission. Some existing Hunter Mastery missions have been modified.
You are now Vulnerable while repairing armor at a Base Camp (same as brewing Vive)
You can now mute your teammates’ Emotes and Pings in Settings
When you are dead, you can only hear sound that your living teammates can hear
Environment/Map
These look like small notes, but they’re doing a lot of heavy lifting. Big environmental upgrades! And some context on random chests: given how much of SUPERVIVE relies on teammates to do efficiently (vaults, monster packs, etc) we wanted to add something that is easily solo-able and has good rewards to encourage teams breaking up to efficiently farm out a biome. Obviously this has its own risks, but it definitely adds ~ t e x t u r e ~ to your gaming experience. If you see a chest, you should probably open it.
[!!!] Random Chests now spawn in the outskirts of most biomes: they contain goodies!
[!!!] Kaiju Water now anti-heals for a short duration
[!!!] Explosive barrels now have a slight delay before exploding, and they now apply anti-heal
Environment looks nicer :^)
Chaos Steppes has an updated layout, including a new Boss arena
Prisma Falls has a secret area!
PvE
Several minions have updated loot/XP adjustments to match their density/danger
Creeps now ignore you if you sneak around them (unless you’re really really close to them)
Wavemaker Boss: Projectile orbs are now destructible by melee attacks
Bishop was strong during Steam Next Fest, especially at higher MMRs.
Displacement Charge (RMB)
Level 3 upgrade now only resets the cooldown of Haymaker (Q) if the satchel hits an enemy
Rocket Jump (Shift)
Charge time increased from 10s >>> 11s
Blast-off! (R)
Turn rate lowered by ~10%
Detonation radius lowered by 25%
Max stun duration decreased from 1.4 >>> 1.2 seconds
QoL: No longer follows heightmap downward, meaning if you jumppad and ult, you’ll stay high up in the air
Brall
This is intended to be both a quality-of-life change (hitbox matches the animation), but also a buff especially to lower-skill Brall players who are having a hard time landing their LMB hits
Caldera, Molten Greatsword (LMB)
Now deals damage in a Slice shape rather than a Box (increased max angle)
Elluna
Elluna is disproportionately strong at lower MMRs. We’re trading off offensive and defensive power to even out the discrepancy.
Soulpack (Passive)
Slow while picking up Wisps increased from 20% >>> 30%
Shield reduced from 250 >>> 200
Crescent Bolt (LMB)
Damage per burn stack increased by 10%
Darkside Binding (RMB):
Now has global iconography (visible only to enemies) that should make it easier to read the ability across different skins
Felix
Removing an unwanted optimization, which should also be a minor nerf
Flamethrower (LMB)
Cooldown between uses increased from 0.01 >>> 0.35 seconds
Added a 0.35 second self-slow after letting go of the ability
Improved visuals
Ghost
Spike Grenade (RMB)
Now properly attaches to dynamic objects like Oath’s Brightshield (RMB) and Celete’s Barricade (Q) rather than deleting on impact
Hudson
Minigun (LMB)
Now has Bloom that starts out wide, then zeroes in the longer you hold it
Goes further than before
Improved visuals
Overclock (RMB)
Also has bloom, but less than non-Overclocked Minigun
Improved visuals
Jin
Oh no he’s hot (in-game)
In-game model, VFX, and animations updated
Flip Slash / Death Blow (Q):
Kills/dunks will properly reset this ability
Fixed a bug where leveling Flip Slash / Death Blow would cast it as well
Joule
Voltaic Spear (RMB)
Minimum cast time increased from 0.2 >>> 0.4 seconds
Kingpin
Scattergun (LMB)
Damage increased by 15%
Brute Dash (Shift)
[NEW] Level 3 upgrade: Casting Brute Dash resets the cooldown of your Scattergun (LMB). In addition, the next Scattergun shot reduces the cooldown of Brute Dash by 0.25s per pellet hit (max 1.75s)
Primal Slam (Q)
0.15s wind down added (previously 0s)
Level 3 upgrade: self-downward impulse doubled, meaning you slam down faster (careful over Abyss!)
Myth
After multiple rounds of nerfs to sharpen her identity, Myth finally has some room for buffs!
Myth has received a VFX update on most things!
Greenwood Bow (LMB)
Green arrow damage profile adjusted: base damage down, AP ratio up
Perfect greens deal -5 damage w/ Gray equipment, +5 at Purple equipment, and +10 at Gold
Heartpiercer (RMB)
Max hold duration after cast increased from 1.5 >>> 3.0 seconds
Pushes harder after shorter amounts of charge mininum charge and longer holds are unaffected
Charging Heartpiercer is now visible to enemies when Myth is in a wall
Phase Walk (Shift)
Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Myth to fall through the ground if Phase Walking in the Underrot Vault
