Player Impact
Nightwave progression changes are the biggest practical shift in this update. Some acts now ask for different completion conditions, some are easier or more flexible, and two Railjack acts were removed because they were difficult to complete in squads. The update also makes recovered acts more likely to be completable by prioritizing unlocked content.
For players interested in rewards, Amir’s Shockwave expands both the Nightwave reward track and the Cred Offerings Store with new cosmetics, blueprints, and augments. The permanent addition of the Nightwave Landing Craft Blueprint and Components means that item is no longer tied to rotation.
The KIM adventure with Amir and the Hex is a permanent feature, so players who meet the listed prerequisites can return to it later rather than needing to catch it during the Nightwave rotation. Resetting memories lets players replay the campaign, but doing so temporarily removes access to Amir’s Fables & Frontiers Store until a new character sheet is created.
The Sirius & Orion changes and the Jade Stars line-of-sight adjustment may affect how those abilities behave in play, while the listed fixes address issues such as frozen enemies despawning in Netracell missions and Nokko’s Reroot Rampage not triggering Archon Continuity or dealing damage on its first bounce.
