Megabonk H A T S (v1.0.64) patch notes

What changed

• CHANGEBone

  Bone now has higher default knockback (1.25 -> 1.5)

  Bone knocks enemies back further by default and its upgrade offers are now Crit Chance and Crit Damage instead of Knockback.

  Bone now has higher default knockback (1.25 -> 1.5) and no longer has Knockback as an upgrade offer, but instead has Crit Chance and Crit Damage

  TipBone hits harder by default and its upgrade offers changed to crit chance and crit damage. If you used to take knockback on it out of habit, that option is gone and the crit route is now the build.

• CHANGEShotgun

  Shotgun now has higher default knockback (2.5 -> 3)

  The Shotgun knocks enemies back further by default and offers Crit Damage upgrades instead of Knockback.

  Shotgun now has higher default knockback (2.5 -> 3) and no longer has Knockback as an upgrade offer, but instead Crit Damage

  TipShotgun got the same treatment as Bone: more knockback by default, and crit damage replacing knockback in its upgrade offers. It scales through crit now.

  CHANGESystem

  Proc Order: BloodyCleaver, Bonker, Dragonfire, EagleClaw

  Items now trigger in alphabetical order by internal name, starting with Bloody Cleaver and ending with Unstable Transfusion.

  Proc Order: BloodyCleaver, Bonker, Dragonfire, EagleClaw, GloveBlood, GloveCurse, GloveLightning, GlovePoison, GlovePower, GrandmasSecretTonic, IceCrystal, IceCube, LightningOrb, MoldyCheese, QuinsMask, SluttyCannon, Snek, SpicyMeatball, UnstableTransfusion

  TipLook an item up by the spelling in this list, not by its in-game name: the gloves all sit together under Glove, so they resolve back to back rather than scattered through the order.

  FIXSystem

  Fixed: Spicy Meatball

  Spicy Meatball and Bush's Bullseye passive now apply the elite damage multiplier only to the elite being hit, instead of stacking it for every elite and carrying it over to normal enemies.

  Fixed a bug where Spicy Meatball and Bush's passive Bullseye would keep multiplying its damage with the Elite Damage Multiplier for every Elite Enemy, and also applying this amplified damage to normal enemies, instead of just applying that damage multiplier to the individual elite as it should.

  TipThe elite multiplier now lands on the elite it belongs to instead of everything on screen. If you ranked these items on the numbers you were seeing, rank them again.

  FIXV1.0.69 "Hotfix"

  Fixed: HP Regen had a max cap of 1 per tick

  HP Regen is no longer capped at 1 per tick, so stacking a lot of it now heals (or drains) more each tick, the same way Lifesteal and Kevin stack.

  Fixed an issue where HP Regen had a max cap of 1 per tick.

  • Fixed an issue where HP Regen had a max cap of 1 per tick. If you now stack enough HP regen, the value you heal (or lose) will stack, just like Lifesteal and Kevin. (Reported by Noll Reed)

  TipStacking HP Regen now scales instead of being capped per tick, and the developer notes the value you lose stacks the same way. Negative regen is a real cost now, not a trickle.

  FIXSaves

  Sometimes players lose save files due to Steam Cloud or Megbonk bugging

  A new button under Other in Settings uses your Steam Achievements to restore lost save progress, though achievements that are not on Steam cannot be recovered.

  Sometimes players lose save files due to Steam Cloud or Megbonk bugging out, or some other reason.

  • Sometimes players lose save files due to Steam Cloud or Megbonk bugging out, or some other reason.
  • There isn't much to do in these cases, but I've now added a new button found under "Other" Settings inside Megabonk. This button will use your Steam Achievements to recover as much lost progress as it can. It's not perfect, and any in-game achievement that is not on Steam cannot be recovered, but it's better than nothing, and should help you get most of your stuff back.

  TipIf you ever lost progress, this is the patch that gives you a way back. The recovery button is under Other in settings and rebuilds what it can from your Steam achievements, so anything that was never a Steam achievement stays lost.

• BUFFPots

  Pots / Vases now give a little luck

  Breaking pots and vases now gives a little luck that scales with the stage, so collecting them along your route pays off.

  Pots / Vases now give a little luck, which scales with the stage, suggested by nate_codes.

  • Pots / Vases now give a little luck, which scales with the stage, suggested by nate_codes.
  • I think it's a fun suggestion, as it incentivizes collecting pots, which increases value of good movement and map routing, as well as Movement speed stat and Pumpkin item. Let me know what you think

  TipBreaking pots is worth a detour now, and later stages pay more for it. Movement speed quietly became a luck stat.

  Official source
• BUFFFeathers

  Feathers now give about 10% more speed forward when jumping

  Feathers now carry you further forward when jumping and also give an extra jump.

  Feathers now give about 10% more speed forward when jumping, as well as giving +1 jumps

  TipThe speed bonus applies only while you are airborne, so Feathers rewards players who already jump constantly and does little for those who do not.

  Official source
• CHANGEVlad

  Vlad now has 5% Lifesteal (flat) added to character stats

  Vlad now starts with a flat bonus to Lifesteal in the character stats.

  TipVlad carries lifesteal in his base stats, so his sustain scales with damage rather than with healing pickups. Build damage and the survivability follows.

  Official source
• CHANGESpaceman

  Spaceman now has 5% XP Gain (flat) added to character stats

  Spaceman now starts with a flat bonus to XP Gain in the character stats.

  TipSpaceman's XP bonus sits in his base stats, so it compounds across the whole run. Builds that want many levels suit him better than burst-damage ones.

  Official source
• CHANGEZa Warudo

  You can now obtain a max amount of 25 Za Warudos per run

  Za Warudo is now capped at 25 per run.

  TipZa Warudo is no longer an open-ended scaling target, so a run built around collecting it has a fixed finish line. Decide what carries the build once you reach it.

  CHANGESystem

  Items no longer tick / proc in the order they were obtained

  Items now trigger in a fixed order based on their names, so the order you pick them up in no longer matters.

  Items no longer tick / proc in the order they were obtained.

  • Items no longer tick / proc in the order they were obtained. They are now ordered by the name of the item (enum name specifically). This is just to make the game more consistent, and make it so that the order you pick up items doesn't actually matter.

  TipPick-up order is no longer a lever. Proc order now follows the item's name, so take the item you want the moment it is offered instead of holding a pick to shape the sequence.

  Official source
• FIXDicehead

  Fixed: a pretty big bug with Dicehead where if you received

  Dicehead's passive now triggers for every level gained at once from a big chunk of XP instead of only once.

  Fixed a pretty big bug with Dicehead where if you received multiple levels at once from a big chunk of XP, his passive would only trigger once....

  • Fixed a pretty big bug with Dicehead where if you received multiple levels at once from a big chunk of XP, his passive would only trigger once.... yikes (thanks to Noll Reed for the find)

  TipDicehead's passive fires once per level even when several arrive together, so a large XP pickup is no longer quietly worth less than the same XP spread out.

  Official source
• FIXChunkers

  Fixed: Chunkers was only affected by its own Projectile

  Chunkers now uses your player Projectile Speed stat as well as the weapon's own.

  Fixed a bug where Chunkers was only affected by its own Projectile Speed stat on the weapon itself, and not by the Player Stat (also Noll Reed)

  Official source
• FIXJoe's Dagger

  Fixed: Joe's Dagger Execute sometimes did no damage

  Fixed a bug where Joe's Dagger Execute sometimes did no damage (also found by Noll Reed...)

  TipExecute doing nothing was intermittent rather than something you were misreading, so if you dropped Joe's Dagger after it felt unreliable it is worth another pick.

  FIXSystem

  Fixed: money would keep circling

  Fixed a bug where money would keep circling you and not be picked up...

  • Fixed a bug where money would keep circling you and not be picked up... at least i think its fixed

  TipThe developer signs this one off with "at least i think its fixed", so if gold still orbits you instead of collecting, treat it as the same bug rather than as a new pickup rule.

  FIXSystem

  Fixed: the front swing of Corrupted Sword

  Fixed a bug where the front swing of Corrupted Sword and Hero Sword only damaged one enemy

  TipGive Corrupted Sword and Hero Sword another look in crowd-heavy runs: the front swing was the broken half, so what changed is their pack clearing, not their damage per hit.

  FIXSystem

  Fixed: Rollerblades didn't work properly after teleporting

  Fixed a bug where Rollerblades didn't work properly after teleporting to the next stage

  TipThe break was tied to stage transitions, so the fix only shows up after your first teleport. Judge Rollerblades over a full run rather than on the stage where you pick them up.

  Official source
• FIXJoe's Dagger

  Crazy Damage bug - Seems to have been caused by Joe's dagger

  The crazy damage bug, which seems to have been caused by Joe's Dagger, should now be fixed, and leaderboards will probably be reset because current scores were set with the bug.

  Crazy Damage bug - Seems to have been caused by Joe's dagger, but should be fixed now.

  • Crazy Damage bug - Seems to have been caused by Joe's dagger, but should be fixed now. Thanks to everyone who helped test and figure out what caused this. Will probably reset leaderboards after update has rolled out since the current scores all are done with the damage bug

  TipScores from before this fix are not a benchmark. Judge your runs against the boards as they stand now.

• FIXShotgun

  Fixed: Shotgun Crit Damage upgrade gave 0% (found by Stelio)

  Fixed an issue where Shotgun Crit Damage upgrade gave 0% (found by Stelio)

  Fixed an issue where Leeching Crystal didn't proc Megachad's Flex (found by Tatara)

  NEWNew Stuff

  21 Hats and Achievements

  21 new hats have been added, along with achievements.

  • Added a little window in the Unlocks tab in the main menu showing what stats are upgradable and useful for different weapons (suggested by NintenDoingIt on reddit). Also shows all stats unique to each character

  TipPick the weapon you actually play first, then put upgrades only into the stats the window names for it. The unique-stat list also works as a character comparison sheet when you cannot decide who to take.

• BUFFRobinette

  Slightly buffed Robinette's passive in late game

  Robinette's passive gives more damage per 1k gold once you pass 1M gold, so the late game is a bit stronger.

  Slightly buffed Robinette's passive in late game.

  • Slightly buffed Robinette's passive in late game. Damage per 1k gold after 1M gold: 2.5% -> 3.5%

  TipThis gives Robinette back some of the very late-game damage the earlier patch removed. It only matters in gold-heavy leaderboard runs; ordinary runs will not notice.

  Official source
• CHANGERobinette

  Robinette now has 5% Gold Gain (flat) added to character stats

  Robinette now starts with a flat bonus to Gold Gain in the character stats.

  TipRobinette's edge is spending power, not raw strength. Put the surplus into shop refreshes rather than banking it.

  Xp shards now have a little size difference so you can tell

  Better XP shards are now slightly different in size, so you can tell them apart from normal ones.

  Xp shards now have a little size difference so you can tell the better xp shards apart from the normal ones

  FIXSystem

  Fixed: if you had more than 350 items

  Fixed: Roberto's ghost chests would spawn inside of walls

  Fixed a bug where Roberto's ghost chests would spawn inside of walls on the Boss Stage

  TipThis only ever affected Roberto on the Boss Stage, so if he is your pick, budget a lap of the arena there for his chests rather than closing the fight out the moment you can.

  Fixed: if you banished all weapons and maxed your weapons

  Fixed a bug where if you banished all weapons and maxed your weapons and tomes without filling up all your weapon slots, you would be boosted to level 9999

  TipJudge an empty weapon slot on its own merit now, because leaving one open no longer hands you the level jump. If an old run of yours ended at level 9999, that combination is why, and it will not repeat.

  FIXFinal Boss

  Fixed: the Sheriff's Hat achievement could not be unlocked

  Fixed a bug where the Sheriff's Hat achievement could not be unlocked on the final boss fight (reported by afettuccine)

  TipIf a final boss clear never handed you the Sheriff's Hat, that was the bug rather than the run. The unlock registers on that fight now, so the attempt is worth repeating.
