Network Adjustments (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)

• In Ranked Match, we will make a player’s rank move up and down more frequently by adjusting the amount of points that increase / decrease. This update is intended to make the rank reflect the players’ skill rather than the number of times they have played.

• In Ranked Match, we will inform the player before a match that will affect the player’s ranks.

Game System Adjustments (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)

• We will fix an issue where the wrong character’s voice gets played during battles.
• Some text will be revised.
• We will also make changes that accompany various changes in Season 2 and make improvement of the stability of several movements.

Character Creation Adjustments (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)

• We will fix an issue where the facial expressions of some characters becomes different from the expected expression when those characters wear “Great Helm” or “Tracksuit Pants”.
• There is an issue where when “War Maiden’s Costume” is worn together with “YoRHa Unit Number Two Standard Armor (Color #2)” or “YoRHa Unit Number Two Skirtless (Color #2)”, the parts sink very deep into the body of the character wearing them. We will fix this issue by disallowing to wear these parts together. It will be the same setting as the (Color #1) version.
• We will fix an issue where some arm parts would not be displayed properly when they are worn together with “Purge Half-Armor.”
• With this update, “Rubber Mask” and “Destruction Mask” will not be able to be worn together. This change will not affect the variations of character appearance a player can create, as they are the combination that, when worn together, would not be displayed.
