Quake 2 Enhanced Edition – Update 1 is Live, Buffs Railgun and Improves Compass Navigation
id Software and Nightdive Studios released the first update for Quake 2 Enhanced Edition. It improves on a new feature added with this remaster, the Compass, with better objective navigating through several places in Quake 2, Quake 2 64, The Reckoning and Ground Zero.
Other quality-of-life additions include controller vibration effects when taking damage, an option for always running, save and load menus denoting the campaign name and preventing anomalies with the engine at higher frame rates by capping the maximum FPS to 1,000. Skipping cinematics also uses the Action key/button, and there are now “proper” drowning sounds for the selected model.
As for balance changes, the Railgun deals 125 damage per shot, up from 100. Enemies will no longer dodge shots from the side or behind, and turrets won’t deal extra damage when blind firing. The Berserker’s slam attack also deals reduced damage and can be dodged by jumping. Check out the full update notes below.
