We've released a brand new patch alongside the new DLC Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Forges Of Corruption Expansion, so read on below to see what we've added. We are excited that we were able to add 2 highly requested features from players - Horde Mode and a Navigation Guide!
MAIN FEATURES
šHORDE MODE: Weāve added a free Horde Mode for all players. How long can you survive against the onslaught of heretics and daemons?
š§NAVIGATION GUIDE: Even the Emperorās finest sometimes get lost. Weāve added a new Navigation Guide that, when activated, shows your next objective and a recommended route to reach it.
The guide appears for a few seconds by default, but can be toggled to always display by enabling Options > Gameplay > Toggle Navigation Guide. By default the Navigation Guide is bound to N on PC, Back on Xbox, the Touchpad on PlayStation, and to - on Nintendo Switch.
šNEW ACHIEVEMENTS/TROPHIES: Horde Mode comes with three new Achievements/Trophies to unlock
šBUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS: Weāve fixed numerous issues and made quality of life improvements - see full notes below
