Patch notes[ | ]

These are the official patch notes for version 3.4.2 released by Grinding Gear Games.[1]

Delve Improvements[ | ]

  • Fixed an issue where some players were unable to find certain chests in their mine.
  • Voltaxic Sulphite deposits now only grant Sulphite proportional to the number of nearby players when they are first discovered. This brings it in line with how other reward systems work.

  • You can now click your last-visited Delve (indicated by an arrow) on the Subterranean Chart to teleport to the Crawler.
  • Party members can no longer see hidden paths when in another player's Azurite Mine.
  • Party members no longer see an incorrect depth level when viewing the Subterranean Chart in another player's Azurite Mine.
  • Fossils can no longer grant Elemental Resistance prefixes. They now grant new mods for various item slots.
  • Lucent and Shuddering Fossils now have special modifiers that can be rolled on shields.
  • Poison mods are now considered Chaos mods for the purposes of Fossil crafting.
  • Bleeding mods are now considered Physical mods for the purposes of Fossil crafting.
  • Made improvements to the Necromancer Delve encounters.
  • Increased the life of Rogue Exiles in Delve Encounters.
  • Increased the damage of the totem beams in the Kurgal, the Blackblooded encounter.
  • Adjusted the hitboxes of the beam attack used by Kurgal, the Blackblooded to be more accurate.
  • Additional Projectile modifiers no longer increase the number of projectiles in the Beast Burrow encounter.
  • Sutured Aberrations can no longer be desecrated.
  • Fixed a bug where Solar Guard Spectres could prevent the Beast Burrow encounter in the Fungal Caverns from completing.
  • Fixed a bug where some Bestiary encounters would not spawn chests.
  • Fixed a bug where the "Complete Maps with Eight Mods" challenge was giving credit when using White and Yellow Maps, rather than only Red Maps.
  • Fixed a bug where players sometimes received a challenge reward more than once.
