What shipped in Version 1.11 (official)
The official update notes date Version 1.11 to October 22, 2026. It fixes Story Pack 2 progression blockers — Lieutenant Harmony no longer goes invincible, and Drilla Killa no longer survives at 1 HP — addresses a Black Market vending machine gear inconsistency, adds a bank to the Takedown at Hadron Abyss lobby, enables FSR on Steam Deck, and reduces foliage and cloth popping in performance mode.
On the gear side, three new dedicated drop sources went live: Murmur from Genone, Skully from The Immortal Boneface, and Ducky now dropping the Phosphene Devourer. Pearlescents got a fix pass — Enumeration no longer rolls CoV magazines, Avarice no longer shares its bonus damage on weapon swap, and Virtue's confetti is now visible to everyone in the session.
The balance pass, by hunter (official numbers)
Per the same notes, summarized with MentalMars' detailed figures: Loveless leads the pass — Contagion Executable damage up 33%, Lag Switch up 66%, Kernel Panic doubled to 10% Executable Damage per point per stack, and d://File reworked to lean into Radiation after its Hazards were removed over a serious performance issue. Her Wyrm pet gets faster, more aggressive AI, and nuk.exe singularities now vanish after 7 seconds. Amon's Crucible, Blade Tempest and Hour of the Hammer gain 30% damage with several passives at +40%; Harlowe's Experimentation gains 50% and Stunlock's cooldown drops to 8 seconds; Rafa's Peacebreaker Cannon and Double-Ought AutoShot gain 50%; Vex splits between +33% and +50% tiers.
For planning, none of this changes skill tree layout — the build planner allocations stand — but damage expectations on Loveless builds in particular should be read against the new multipliers, not older guides.
Weekly activities: the Thursday rhythm (official)
Weekly rotations land every Thursday: October 1 ran boss Sidney Pointylegs with the Stray Ripper sniper as mission reward, October 8 Mimicron with Aegon's Dream, October 15 Core Observer with Symmetry Order, and October 22 — alongside the patch — Driller Hole with the Golden God Ripper shotgun. Maurice's Black Market vending machine relocates each week too; the official notes point out your machine's items differ from other players'.
What the community did next (community layer)
Within two days of the patch, Mobalytics' build index showed a Loveless wave: WYRMPUNCH, Loveshot.exe (VPN Sniper), .KILLALL and CloseProcess all carry October 23–24 update dates, across the Malignant Construct and Visual Paradox Nexus trees. C4SH's GUNBOY remains the most-favorited build on the index, and Rafa's Tediore Primo 2.0 was refreshed October 15. Our own creator video roundup tracks the same swing toward Wyrm and melee Loveless on YouTube.
Our read (editorial)
1.11 reads as a correction pass: the biggest buffs land exactly where pre-patch discussion said Loveless lagged, and the d://File hazard removal trades a mechanic for stability rather than nerfing it outright. With the level cap still at 70 from Version 1.10 and the weekly rotation uninterrupted, the practical to-do list for most players is short — recheck your Loveless multipliers, farm the two new dedicated sources if you were hunting Murmur or Skully, and clear the Story Pack 2 blockers if you were stuck on one. The site-level version track now reads 1.11; individual walkthrough pages keep their own per-page stamps until each is rechecked.
