Reaper Actual Patch Notes — June 2, 2026
Version 1.3.1

Overview

A new update is live! This one focuses on making the game run smoother, plus a few fixes. Here’s what changed.

Smoother Gameplay

  • The game should run more smoothly with less stuttering, especially around the airport and Marova.
  • Moving through the world should feel cleaner, with less hitching as new areas load in.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a problem where extracting through a manhole could freeze the game. If something goes wrong now, you'll just stay in the match instead of getting stuck.
  • Fixed several crashes, including some that happened when closing the game.

Behind the Scenes

  • We made a bunch of small tweaks to keep the game stable and running reliably.

Reaper Actual Patch Notes — May 29, 2026
Early Access Begins | Build 1

Overview

This is it: Build 1, the very first time the game's been in your hands, and we treated it like the foundation it is. We tore into the engine and rebuilt large parts of it, opened up new places to explore, smoothed out how everything plays, and swept up a stack of bugs along the way. Some of these changes you'll feel the second you load in. Others are quiet groundwork for what's coming. Here's everything that's new.

New Ground to Cover
Four new areas just came online. Go wander Bayside, Channel View, Goat Bluffs, and Highroad Junction. And if you find yourself near the Vault: the gates are shut now. Make of that what you will.

Faster, Smoother, Lighter 
This was a big performance build. Frame rates should climb across the board, with the airport - and lower-end rigs especially - getting focused attention. Under the hood, we reworked our level-of-detail systems (HLODs) so the world streams in cleaner and runs lighter, and refreshed our DLSS support for an extra boost. (No DLSS 5.0 yet - it's on the list.)

A Fresh Coat of Light

  • New Lumen toggle lets you flip advanced lighting on or off - bottom of the first Settings tab.
  • The sky  has been reworked. Worth a look up.
  • Relit the area out front of the terminal.
  • Cleaned up shadows across the board - pulled them off small debris and retuned them around the airport.
  • Eye adaptation reacts more gently now, so bolting from shadow into daylight won't blind you.
  • Night vision holds its own against bright light sources.
  • Eased off the heavy rain for now - you'll still catch a drizzle while we keep tuning it.
  • Player and weapon animations are smoother and read better in motion.

Crafting, Clarified

  • Materials now line up properly with their tiers.
  • Every material carries an effect description, so you can see exactly what it does before you spend or craft.
  • Added new recipes to the table.

Cleaner UI & Loot Tweaks

  • Reworked the Missions view - what's available and what's in progress is far clearer at a glance.
  • The Heat meter has a new look and a new home on screen.
  • Adjusted loot in and around the airport.

Bugs, Handled

  • Killed the phantom "reload" prompt that popped up when your reserves were bone dry.
  • Reload alerts now count your total ammo, not just what's in the mag.
  • Your paper doll keeps up with your loadout now - swap guns and it updates like it should.
  • Squashed a batch of crash bugs.
  • Audio slider settings finally stick between sessions.

Now It's Your Turn

We're early - and that's exactly when your voice matters most. What you flag, love, or break shapes what comes next, so bring it to our Discord and check out our Roadmap. We're reading everything.

Version 1.2.0 | Scheduled Release

  • You are no longer able to push your gun through an asset and shoot on the other side
  • If you ADSed, then crouched, ADS would not animate correctly
  • Tool icons are now 100% more correct when deploying to Marova
  • Fixed an issue where if you pressed tab while you had an item dragged on your cursor, it would stay on your cursor
  • Looting anything now properly reflects the name of the item you’re looting
  • Resolved an issue where another Reaper shooting you would not cause hit reacts.
  • Fixed an issue where certain attachments would mess up the paper doll
  • Fixed an issue where NPCs would not stop talking when they were killed
  • Resolved the right click menu disappearing as soon as you click it, as well as it showing offscreen if you selected the farthest most items in your inventory/vault
