The latest update of Horizon Forbidden West is now live and it brings improvements to the recently-released Burning Shores expansion. Multiple bugs related to main quests are addressed and one minor balancing change is made as well.
The Acid Resistance boost has been reduced by 10% on Quen Deadeye, Quen Commander, Blacktide Quen Commander, and Tenakth Vanquisher to bring their acid resistance in line with other elemental resistances. Collecting Dye Flowers will no longer trigger the sound effect of the canister collection, but will now play the correct sound effect. The Defense Drone can't be looted twice anymore.
Main Quests
- Fixed an issue in "To The Burning Shores" where the Defense Drone's laser VFX were not visible after dying/restarting checkpoint.
- Fixed an issue in "To The Burning Shores" where the "Search for a Way Up the Tower" objective could not be completed if the player destroys the pullable ceiling too early.
- Fixed an issue in "Heaven and Earth" where leaving the Observatory before the objective updates to "Find the Transmitter" causes the transmitter not to be interactable, conditionally blocking progression.
- Fixed an issue in "Heaven and Earth" where entering the code to open Londra's private room before the objective updates to "Find the Door Code" causes the objective to not update correctly.
- Fixed an issue where the Zenith Tower's shots would not kill Aloy and Seyka during "Heaven and Earth - Fly to Starlight Rise," resulting in an awkward swim back to land.
- Fixed an issue in "For His Amusement" where opening the door to the Armory while Seyka is engaged in combat in the main courtyard may cause her to become idle, possibly blocking progression.
- Fixed an issue in "His Final Act" where the mission objective "Meet Seyka in Fleet's End" did not have a quest marker on Seyka.
- Fixed an issue in "His Final Act" where Seyka's bow was floating next to Seyka.
- Fixed an issue where the Defense Drone can be looted twice.
Weapons
- Fixed an issue where the Weapon Wheel displays an incorrect amount of ammo for the Specter Gauntlet if Aloy is forced to stow her weapon by a Status Effect while she is aiming a Designator.
- Acid Resistance boost lowered by 10% on Quen Deadeye, Quen Commander, Blacktide Quen Commander and Tenakth Vanquisher to align the acid resistance to the other elementals
- Fixed an issue where Aloy was unable to equip weapons following a Clamberjaw attack.
Other
- Fixed an issue where Aloy kept her Diving Mask on during two cinematics in Main Quest "Death's Door" in New Game Plus playthroughs.
- Removed a set of floating climbing poles in the Hollywood Hills area.
- Picking up Dye Flowers no longer results in a canister collection sound effect instead of the correct sound effect.
