C'est avec une semaine de retard que certains changements promis pour l'amélioration du système de butin vont arriver avec cette mise à jour prévue pour ce 9 mars 2019, comme la suppression des objets blancs et verts au niveau 30. Ce n'est pas la seule bonne nouvelle, de nombreux équilibrages sont apportés aux armes, aux javelins (qui gagnent en puissance et progresseront mieux), ainsi qu'aux ennemis (qui sont rééquilibrés ou rendus plus faibles). Par exemple, les titans seront moins pénibles et ennuyeux. Le système de réapparition (respawn) a aussi droit à une importante révision, il faut dire que dans sa version actuelle, il était aberrant et insupportable, il était possible d'être bloqué sans pouvoir rien faire ni pouvoir quitter le jeu, en attendant que le dernier joueur en vie revienne de son AFK. La seule solution était de faire Alt+F4 ou de revenir au menu de la console puis de relancer le jeu. De très nombreux bugs vont aussi être corrigés. Il faut espérer que tous ces patchs ne retarderont pas l'arrivée du nouveau contenu, dont Anthem, a bien besoin aussi pour donner de quoi s'occuper à ses joueurs.
Vous pouvez trouver les notes de mise à jour en anglais ici, nous avons traduit les principaux changements en attendant les notes de mise à jour officielles en français, comme la liste est massive.
