    Store Update 1.40.0

    Store Update 1.40.0 opens part one of Phantom Targets, adds black and yellow Volare variants, and lines up a Tick Hunter bundle for August 18 — the same day the 1.42 update brings the event's second half. Embark also confirmed a fix in progress for Queen and Matriarch stomps landing through walls and reaching further than intended.

    Live Update 1.39.0

    Live Update 1.39.0 narrows the matchmaking playstyle estimate to fights your squad starts — defending yourself no longer counts against you — and settles the Seeker and Wolfpack Grenade damage inconsistencies. Converging Paths trinkets now stack, trinket drops are rebalanced across maps, and a long list of Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City collision bugs is cleared.

    Store Update 1.38.0

    Store Update 1.38.0 adds Camo and Black variants of the Torpedo outfit set (granted automatically to owners) and retunes matchmaking to prioritise match quality — which can mean slightly longer queues, especially during off-peak hours and in specific regions and map conditions. The notes also point to the Departure Expedition.

    Store Update 1.37.0

    Store Update 1.37.0 adds black/green and red Driftcoat color variants (granted automatically to existing owners), continues account enforcement against the duplication exploiters, and flags two bugs under investigation — a weaker-feeling Seeker Grenade and an erroneous Departure sign-up after the Deal Damage challenge.

    Hotfix

    Hotfix 1.36.1

    A rapid cross-platform hotfix that shuts down a duplication exploit and fixes the fourth Expedition screen, which was wrongly showing Skill Points instead of Mystery Rewards. Embark reaffirmed it will keep banning exploiters.
