The Outer Worlds 2 Patch 1.1.0.0 Fixes Sentient Armor Spells, Moonwalking NPCs, and Broken Death Pits
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
The latest patch for The Outer Worlds 2 fixes sentient armor attacks, moonwalking NPCs, and a non-lethal death pit, while adding waiting mechanics and controller rebinding.
Obsidian Entertainment has dropped a substantial new update for The Outer Worlds 2, bringing quality-of-life additions alongside some wonderfully bizarre bug fixes. Patch 1.1.0.0 introduces heavily requested features like the ability to advance time by up to 24 hours through a new waiting mechanic, dedicated walking toggles via key press, fresh stealth melee kill animations for weapons like the plasma cutter and impact hammer, and full controller rebinding support for PlayStation 5 and Xbox gamepads. Naturally, facial hair and eyebrow clipping issues are also addressed once again for players who love deep character customization.
The real highlights of the patch notes, however, involve some deeply entertaining technical anomalies. Most notably, the update ensures that Gary, a piece of sentient armor capable of launching spiny tendrils, will no longer attack players from beyond the veil or team up with mysterious companions to interrogate the player for crimes. Obsidian also fixed issues where bucket hats failed to hide players from perceptive NPCs, stopped spacefarer NPCs from aggressively moonwalking in zero gravity, and ensured that the notorious pit outside the Algid Menagerie finally kills unfortunate players as intended.
As players balance their backlog across console, PC, and cloud setups, these quirky updates serve as a great excuse to dive back into Obsidian's sci-fi RPG. For those tracking the game's ongoing support and community feedback, details on these fixes and more can be explored directly in the original reporting by Mark Warren over at Rock Paper Shotgun. Whether you are hunting down missing sideburns or testing out the newly functional death pits, this update adds a welcome layer of polish to an expansive universe.
