After adding 60 FPS Performance Mode and stealth takedowns to Redfall last month, Arkane Austin is back with the third Title Update. It introduces a new Unrivaled Sniper Rifle, Basilisk, which charges the first bullet in a magazine with UV power and petrifies enemies hit. However, it won’t work on foes immune to the status or recently affected by it.
You can find Basilisk in Bellwether containers within Vampire Nest and the open world, though it can drop from any source of Unrivaled items. The Title Update also offers various fixes, like Shrouds, Anglers and Siphons no longer spawning in the open world until players have completed certain missions or reached a specific level. The Siphon is also more resistant to fire, and its Blood Torrent is tougher to interrupt.
Furthermore, Soulless enemies deal more damage at close range, while Watchers will react quicker to intruders. General enemy pathing is improved, and human foes will climb awnings to get to you.
Check out the full update notes below. Redfall is available for Xbox Series X/S and PC. You can read our review of the disastrous launch version here.
