1. What’s New in the Shop – Vanguard Set
Before the fixes, the obvious addition: Vanguard Set is now available in the shop. No details on pricing or contents, but expect cosmetics or gear bundles. If you’re a collector or want to look fresh while looting, check it out.
Our take: Probably just a cosmetic drop. But if it includes functional gear, we’ll update our recommendations.
2. Gameplay Fixes – Exploits and Annoyances Squashed
This patch targets several bugs that directly affected combat and movement.
3. Map Fixes – Stella Montis & Buried City
Two maps received important polish.
Our take: Getting shot through the floor is infuriating. That fix alone makes the patch worthwhile. The missing staircases in Buried City? How did that happen? But hey, now you won’t randomly fall into the void.
4. Close Scrutiny Mode Fixes
Close Scrutiny seems to be a special mode (likely PvE or hybrid). Several AI and interaction fixes.
5. Other Fixes – UI, Visuals, Stability
⭐ Verdict from the BuyCarry Team
Patch 1.23.0 is a maintenance‑style update – no new content, but it cleans up some genuinely annoying bugs and closes a few nasty exploits.
The highlights:
- Anvil splitter exploit fix – this was likely being abused by sweaty players. Now dispersion applies correctly, so skill matters again.
- Trigger ’Nade triple damage – this explains some random one‑shots. Glad it’s fixed.
- Map exploits (shooting through floor, missing stairs, fire outside rooms) – basic polish that should have been there earlier, but better late than never.
- Close Scrutiny mode fixes – if you play this mode, the Assessor and platform bugs were probably run‑enders. Now they’re not.
What’s missing? No weapon balancing, no new gameplay features. But that’s fine – not every patch needs to shake the meta.
Our advice:
- Update your game and check the Vanguard Set if you care about cosmetics.
- If you were abusing the anvil splitter exploit… well, time to learn real aim.
- Report any remaining crashes – the devs are still investigating.
BuyCarry take: We’re happy to see exploit fixes. If you need help mastering the new fair meta or grinding through Close Scrutiny, our Pro's are ready.
Patch rating: 7/10 – solid cleanup, no hype, but necessary.
