Fast Lane
Raids are a lot faster. That is the headline. Everything else is polish.
Raids are faster
- Killing blows land instantly. Every hit used to wait ~0.1 s for the bullet to travel before it counted. If your shot kills, it counts the moment you fire. One-shot builds clear raids up to 3x faster (measured: ~9 s raids now take ~3 s at the same depth). Damage did not change, only the waiting did.
- Abyss opening strike is instant. Past CL 25,000 the enemy's first hit resolves the moment combat starts. A timing gap let fast melee builds skip it; fixed, and the player no longer pays a start-up delay for it.
- Reality snap fires sooner after deploy (1 s -> 0.3 s).
Headless Raid (new option)
- Options > Display > Headless Raid: only the map, your marker, the CL badge and the AUTO-DEPLOY chip are drawn. No enemies, loot, tracers, hit effects or combat text; side notifications only for STASH FULL and rare drops.
- Pure speed for long farming sessions. Game math is unchanged; turn it off any time.
Steam Deck
- Layouts fit 1280x800: loadout, augments, terminal, options, quests, raid HUD. Bigger equipment slots, readable objectives and quests, tooltips no longer cut off.
- Deck starts with CRT effects off and a fixed 70% UI scale (the only scale that fits). Font size is still yours.
- Tap the weapon panel to switch weapons, an INVENTORY button in raids, on-screen keyboard for text fields, controller buttons in hints.
Loot & quality of life
- Loot filter: ABYSSAL rarity can be auto-sold and you can pick the exact item (Rubber Duck, Portal Fluid, Null Visage, Abyssgaze Optics, Choir Dampener). Everything else Abyssal stays protected. Bulk Sell gets "Abyssal and below" and lists exactly what is and is not sold.
- Ask Before Quick Actions: new NEVER + CHASE setting (no confirmation even on chase items).
- STASH FULL messages merge into one card and show every 10th full raid. Same-title notifications no longer stack.
Leaderboards
- Confirmed cheaters are now shadow-banned: their scores stay on their own screen, but nobody else sees them. Global, friends and my-rank views skip them and ranks close up. Nothing to do on your side.
Fixes
- Skill tree lines missing in outer regions (Titan, Gambler) at UI Scale below 100%.
- GHOST Blur badge flicker and shortened evasion buff during fast kill chains.
- Small HUD overlaps at large font sizes.
