Hotfix v0.21.3.4
2026-09-24This hotfix resolves some issues reported by players. It also addresses how fire weapons burn away bodies, gear, and all. Now, gear and loot from burnt bodies will drop to the floor so you don't lose them. You can also remove enchantments from the attribute giver NPCs. If you have a favorite weapon you no longer want to deal radiation damage, or want to remove a low-tier enchantment to replace with a high-tier one, you can! Thank you to everyone who sent in reports! ✅ Changes • Burned enemy bodies now drop their items. Stackables drop as floating droppables, and non-stackables drop on the floor • You can now pay attribute giver NPCs to remove the specific attribute they gave you • Added more spellbooks as rare treasure chest loot, and widened the mystery fish spellbook pool • Skewers now require a deeper crossing of the fire before they flip which side faces the flame
