| 10/25/25 Patch Notes | 2025-10-26 | A small update for Broke Signal Badlands has been released, with the following changes and updates:A loading screen has been added to the main menu, when players choose the tutorial or start a new run.We've attempted to address player's frustrations with running into landmark encounters and having it reappear - there is a 10 second window where the collision is hidden when a landmark encounter is completed (pass a diceroll). This should hopefully cut down on some incidents where players run into the same encounter over and over again when leaving it.Fixed a bug with Shootouts where passing one shootout during a run would cause players to pass |
