BUG FIXESThe +10% parry chance from the trained Commando skill Gun Kata is not shown on Commando mercs in the mission squad. This is a visual bug in Camp only.Incorrect ranged damage is shown for equipped ranged weapons in gear slots. This is caused by the recent changes in 1.3 to show buffed damage from the Gun Care gadget and is only a visual bug in Camp. Ranged damage in combat is not affected.The targeting (aggro focus) line from a merc can appear to go off-screen to an eliminated enemy, during its despawn process. This is a rare visual glitch, usually automatically fixed on the next attac

Greetings Mercs,The main focus of this update was to review and rebalance many skills, rework or refine some of the less frequently used skills, and add a lot of quality-of-life changes.Dead Grid will be participating in the upcoming Party-Based RPG Fest on Steam. To prepare, I've added a bunch of new tutorials to help make the new player learning curve smoother. Without further ado, let's take a look at all the changes in 1.3!PARRY CHANCE IN CAMPThe parry chance of mercs in mission squad is now shown. This stat comes from training in Martial Arts, trained skills, and equipped items with parry

Greetings Mercs,It's only been a month since the big 1.2 Martial Arts update dropped, and I've already been working on designing more content for Dead Grid. Similar to the 1.1 update (April 2026), I decided to release a slightly smaller-scale update quickly, before any big features get added to the game, as that would require a lot more testing.As usual, detailed patch notes will be included with the release, so this is a just a quick teaser.FEATURE PREVIEWA ton of small balance tweaks weapon mechanics, consumables, assignments, improved damage of Aimed Shot and Flamethrowers and much more.

MARTIAL ARTSAdded a small chance to stun the enemy on the final strike, not tied to the condition (color) of the card. This is now listed in card details of all Martial Arts weapons. I have some ideas for a way increase this stun chance with a new Dojo room upgrade and/or accessories. Stay tuned for that in future patches.MISSION LOOT BALANCERebalanced and improved loot rewards from area objects on the first 8 missions. Some items will only appear on the first visit, designed to guide the player into a smoother upgrade path.Many area objects have been revamped to drop loot that makes more sens

Previously, remaining pumps would be lost on a killing shot.Added a visual effect on mercs triggering Pump Action to show the rolled pumps.AIMED SHOT BALANCEAimed Shot can now be gained by scoring a ranged critical hit.All sniper rifles, bows, and crossbows have been updated to reflect

BUG FIXES - BUILD 1.2.23AFTERMATH: While playing Aftermath, mercs show an incorrect number of remaining weapon training points (not class skill points). This also affects the full respec of invested points. Mercs that have ranked up in Aftermath since the launch of 1.2 should now automatically show their correct unspent points, according to the rank.The new enemy status "Leaking" damages the enemy based on their total remaining HP, but also unintentionally restores a small amount of HP.A few players have reported being unable to continue to the next turn in combat, not tied to specific mission
