Serious Sam 2, the fifteen-year-old game, is getting some love from the developer Croteam. After the massive update released last month , the developer is back with a new patch, however, it’s smaller than the last. Update 2.091 brought a QoL feature, improved several icons, nerfed Uzi, and fixed various bugs.
You can now bind a key to the “Toggle Sprint” option. Since there is no stamina in the game, Sam can always run. This small change will make the game easier for tons of players. Though it’s a shame that this feature wasn’t present at release. The icons for the serious bomb weapon and ammo are completely recreated. So, check them out and let us know if you liked the new icons or preferred the old ones.
Uzi was slightly nerfed. The damage output per bullet is reduced to eight from the previous nine. The rest of the changes and bug fixes are mentioned in great detail below.
