- Start with the October changes below, then open the guide for your task. This reference covers checked notes through .208, released October 27. The .62 sections remain historical context; they do not override the later Workshop, controls or map rules.
- Use Workshop → Fusion for item recipes and Replicator for Chronotrace-charged blueprints.
October changes: go straight to the affected task
.192/.205: lair discovery and neutralization, loot borders and controller menus.
.201: shorter Flowerman dash delays and the specific Volkov supply-drop step.
.208: intended fall damage restored, Open/Isolated choice remembered and Monolith requirement hints added to Harmonization rewards. Older movement videos are not a guarantee of surviving a drop.
October 26: Steam Deck is Playable. October 30’s BTR-80A announcement says “Coming soon”; it is not proof of a currently available vehicle route.

Historical .62: Optics, performance, and Downtown changes
- Red dot sights no longer apply an aiming-speed penalty. Magnified optics have a higher aiming-speed penalty, and non-thermal magnified scopes cost more in the shop.
- The patch notes identify AMD Adrenalin 26.9.1 as the crash fix for Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT users. Check the official driver and patch information for your hardware.
- Downtown now has barriers blocking non-playable floors and the rooftop. Check access before following a route recorded before this update.
