Overview
- Cryo Archive is now included in patch 1.0.5 but remains locked until the community completes ARG steps, and entry requires Runner Level 25, all six factions unlocked, and a 5,000‑credit loadout, excluding Rook and Sponsored Kits.
- Bungie previewed exclusive Cryo Archive loot with three new random‑rolled implants and three weapon mods, including Covert Recovery, Freeloader, Panic Response, Punishment, Testament, and Hurricane.
- The update reverts last week’s expanded combat audio and lowers player audibility range, adds a cooldown to the Opportunist mod, and significantly reduces the WSTR shotgun’s effectiveness beyond point‑blank range.
- Quality‑of‑life and anti‑grief changes include blocking Thief drones from pickpocketing during exfil animations, allowing exfil beacon activation while downed, bigger vault stack sizes, and clearer contract waypoints.
- Ranked mode arrives later this week with points awarded for successful exfils with high‑tier loot, point losses on failed runs, and restrictions that bar Rook and Sponsored Kits.
