Rift Loopers Update: Gamepad Optimization and More - All Information & New Features at a Glance

Welcome to the world of Rift Loopers

Hello dear Loopers! It has been a few weeks since the release of version 1.0 of Rift Loopers, and the development team has been working hard on new updates to further improve the gaming experience. In this article, we will introduce you to the most important changes and improvements that have been implemented in the game.

Gamepad support taken to the next level

The biggest change in this update concerns the improvement of gamepad support. The right thumbstick now shoots your weapons and aligns your character, which should significantly increase the comfort when using aligned skills. You can now use both triggers and bumpers for skills - let us know how it feels!

Changes to Ability Modifications

Another significant change is the removal of passive requirements to unlock the special upgrades for ability modifications. Unlocking abilities is now available once you have reached the maximum ability level (level 6). The allocation of ability modifications may change in the future, but for now, they are immediately available.

Patch Notes Overview

There are also many other balance changes and improvements. Here is an overview of the most important points:

  • Boss health bar now updates correctly
  • Projectiles no longer disappear when clients are too far from the host
  • Endless mode: Elite enemies appear at the beginning of each wave
  • Endless mode: HP scaling reduced
  • Endless mode: Spawn interval determined by difficulty level
  • Significant optimization of the game
  • Ranged enemies switch to melee less often and stay in melee for a shorter time
  • Difficulty level increases spawn interval
  • Only elite enemies scale based on their level
  • HP scaling based on difficulty level reduced
  • Improved enemy recognition
  • 20% increase in chance of health kit drops from hiding spots (20% decrease in crystal chance)
