New content in 1.0
The headline additions, per Perfect Random's announcement:
- The complete Enchantments system, finishing the combined magic matrix with five new level-two scrolls: Scroll of Snowman Head, Scroll of Water Bomb, Scroll of Mud Ball, Scroll of Evil Seed, and Scroll of Teslacold. You combine two level-one scrolls with the NPC in the church attic.
- A quest log, a digital tracker replacing the notepad approach.
- New oils that counteract bullet drop, tied to a new muzzle-velocity stat category.
- A new wonton soup meal (broth + dumplings, 40 health over 15 seconds).
- Hitstop on melee hits, a redesigned health bar, and the full progression through the game from beginning to end (no new areas for veterans yet).
Balance changes and fixes
According to a player walkthrough video of the 1.0 build, the update rebalanced every wearable (mostly buffs, better split between early- and late-game rarities), adjusted guns like the Chimera Rapid (88→80 damage) and Death Star (80→96), added slight recoil to energy weapons, and gave bosses damage gates so none can be one-tapped. Enemy counts dropped 20% in Hedge Maze and 30% in Dungeon, and weapon XP distribution was reworked. The pizza slice count and melee/throwable weapon XP changes from patch 0.19.8 were reverted. This account comes from a player video, not the official notes, so treat individual numbers as player-reported.
The hotfixes fixed a wave of launch issues: Cryo Snakes now proc correctly (1.0.3), projectiles no longer pierce without registering hits (1.0.4), units drop food again and Ralphie's store stocks more items (1.0.2), and 1.0.5 fixed a bugged Sewers water volume, showed the Ferryman's RPM, and fixed gamepad players being unable to insure melee weapons.
