Wasteland 3 has received a new update recently that provides gameplay improvements and bug fixes across the board.
Patch 1.6.9.420 fixes an issue in the Holy Detonation chamber where the computer would turn hostile. This prevents you from utilizing it, which may impede your progress, but is no longer a problem.
For the Battle of Steeltown DLC, you should now be engaged in a conversation with citizens of Steeltown after saving it from the gang raid. This, in turn, will provide you with a reward.
Balancing changes have also been implemented. All targets eliminated by your turrets and robots will now grant XP. This can help you get out of harm’s way, while still getting experience points to level up.
If you want to go to a particular area on the mini-map, you will be excited to find that you can now move quickly just by double-clicking on that spot.
In co-op mode, the issue where the game would get soft-locked if you and another person looted the same item at the exact moment has been resolved.
