Dauntless Update 1.6.5 Patch Notes

Exotics Return

Conundrum Rocks

• A new island variant has been added to the Hunting Grounds! Conundrum Rocks is a level 10-13 version of Paradox Breaks, with Valomyr as its guaranteed Behemoth.

Timeweave Armor

• 1.6.5 marks the launch of the new Timeweave set, a powerful collection of gameplay armour that offers Overpower, Predator, and Catalyst perks.
• Unlock the schematics for the Timeweave armour set by seeking out a new lore node on the Paradox Breaks.

Balance Changes

• Molten Edict now has 1 Power Cell slot, 1 Prismatic Cell slot, and the Berserker perk.
• Twin Suns now have 1 Technique Cell slot, 1 Prismatic Cell slot, and the Evasive Fury perk.

• The Hunger now has 1 Power Cell slot, 1 Prismatic Cell slot, and the Ragehunter perk.
• The Skullforge now has the Molten perk.
• Prismatic Grace now has the Medic perk.
• Tragic Echo now has the Rage perk.

Sword Changes

“If you run Energized +6 with Adrent Cyclone in 1.6.4, you can stay in that special for 20 to 30 seconds in an unstaggerable state. Dauntless is a game about skillful decision making and timing. This combination of abilities broke that design principle. It’s okay to bend the rules a bit with special abilities, but this was breaking our design entirely. This is an initial step towards removing Ardent Cyclone meter gain in 1.7.0.”

• Reduced the amount of Ardent Cyclone meter gained while using Energized by 85%.

Hunting Grounds

• The guaranteed Behemoth on Brightwood is now Flameborn Quillshot (was Valomyr).
• The guaranteed Behemoth on Razorcliff Isle is now Rezakiri (was Deepfrost Embermane).
• The guaranteed Behemoth on Paradox Breaks is now Flameborn Rezakiri (was Rezakiri).
• Removed Moonreaver Shrike from Razorcliff Isle.

Agarus

• Added a window of invulnerability during the revival animation of Agarus weapons’ legendary ability.
• Reduced the number of Ruptured Stalks required for crafting Agarus’ weapons from 15 to 7.

Embermane

• Changed Deepfrost Embermane’s roll attack to be more accurate, only causing AoE damage on impact of the first hit.

Gnasher

• Improved the collision and hitboxes during Deepfrost Gnasher’s dive and slam moves.

Rezakiri

• Changed Flameborn Rezakiri’s tail sweep attack so the second sweep won’t hit Slayers who successfully dodged the first.

The Chronovore

• Increased the time it takes to be knocked off during certain moves when mounted.
• The Chronovore gear now correctly requires 4 Timeworn Tentacles to craft.

Quality of Life Improvements

Skraev

• Reduced the opacity on Skraev’s blizzard VFX.

Miscellaneous

• Consumables can now be swapped while queued for a hunt.

Bug Fixes

Axe

• Fixed an issue where charged axe attacks would sometimes end without completing an attack.

Cosmetics

• Fixed a bug where certain armours could not access the secondary dye channel.
• Fixed a bug where lantern effects would stay visible and stack up after switching in the loadout screen.
• Fixed a bug where using a jump vent right after changing your character’s skin tone would revert the change.
• Fixed a bug where players could spawn in the ground when using the “Brave and the Boulder” arrival.
• Changed the Chronovore armour’s footprint effect to the proper dye channel.

• Fixed an issue allowing players to keep interacting with respawned Primal Suppressors.

Environments

Quests

• Removed “consume ironhide pylons” as a quest objective as the functionality wasn’t working consistently.
• The quest “Behemoth Survey: Enemy Vine” now correctly identifies any Koshai as an objective target, not just Heroics.

UI

• Fixed a bug where the repeaters were not attached correctly to the hands of a Slayer.
• Fixed a bug causing loot to incorrectly appear multiple times in Escalation end-of-hunt screens.
• Fixed a bug where lanterns that were tracked in the HUD could not be untracked once crafted.

• Fixed a bug where item amounts would not update immediately after crafting tonics.
• Fixed a bug where notification icons would appear on Bounties and Challenges when they shouldn’t.
