Overview
- Embark Studios, which released hotfix 1.23.1 on Friday, removed a new item‑duplication exploit in the extraction shooter.
- The patch addressed crashes on PlayStation 5, with the team saying it will keep monitoring the issue as it investigates.
- It also fixed a bug that let players rejoin rounds they should not be able to access.
- Player reports since the Flashpoint update pointed to a hatch‑key method that needed two people, though the studio did not share specifics.
- Rapid fixes have become routine, with 1.23.0 earlier stopping extreme Trigger Nades damage and closing a shoot‑through floor on Stella Montis, which matters because the game’s risk‑to‑loot loop depends on fair, earned progression.
