Hot-Fix 0.9.5.3 Release Notes 9/2/2026
2026-09-02Hotfix 0.9.5.3 is now live. Version 0.9.5.3 Hotfix Hello Scavs! This hotfix focuses on two specific changes. Hope the week has been amazing so far! Stay frosty. - Fundog Out Changes / Update Details: • AI Hearing • AI now have less information about the exact location they hear if they aren’t already aware of the noise-maker. The further away the nose, the less specific the location knowledge. • Player Knockdown • Some enemy weaponry has been modified so they require multiple hits within a window of time to knock the player down. • Other weapons / impacts still can knock the player down instantly (usually the larger / more explosive attacks). • REMINDER: • Scavs can button mash to speed up the recovery from being knocked down. This does consume stamina (unless the Scav is Gunhead or has a stim active, in which case the button mash just works).
Read the full notes
• If a Scav is knocked down multiple times in a single mission a tool tip will appear on screen reminding them they can button mash. The button mash works regardless (the tool tip isn’t required for the mashing feature to be active).
