Hello Riftbreakers!

We have just published a new update for the Closed Beta build of The Riftbreaker. It features a new Survival Mission in the Acidic Plains biome, the prologue mission adapted from single-player, as well as a lot of fixes and improvements. Full changelog below.

The Riftbreaker Closed Co-Op Beta Update, April 28th, 2025 Changelog:

Changes

• Added the Acidic Plains Survival Mission to the mission pool in the Closed Beta. We will be grateful for all error reports regarding this new biome.
• You can now find Mech Upgrade modules with additional randomized and unique Item Drops. The stats are very far from finished, and there might be some OP combinations - let us know if you find anything that is out of order.
• All melee weapon attacks and some projectile weapon attacks are now treated with lag compensation mechanisms, which should provide you with instant input response and a much smoother experience. Please let us know about all the issues you encounter with mech attack animations, inconsistent hitboxes, phantom hits, etc. This change has the potential to break a lot of things before it does its job properly.
• Added the Prologue mission to the Beta build. Try to break it - we're pretty sure it works fine, but we'd like to get a confirmation on that!
• Decreased the lightning strike Omega skill spawn frequency and damage.
• Added a new Omega skill - Cryo Orb.
• Changed the visual and sound effects for finding underground treasures.
• Custom Difficulty settings have been temporarily removed from the Beta build
• Reduced the Easy and Normal Tropical Zone survival mission difficulty - Omega creatures will arrive later than before.

Fixes

• Fixed GUI button hitboxes for both gamepad and keyboard and mouse navigation on many screens.
• Fixed some issues with the Load Save option in the Lobby.
• Fixed gamepad navigation issues in many places, but it's not final yet.
• Fixed chat layout and color coding.
• You should now only see the base stats for mech upgrades during crafting.
• Fixed some issues with the Decompressor production display and equip menu.
• Fixed mismatched icons for Root Gun Extreme and Superior.
• Fixed an animation glitch that caused weapons to behave strangely.
