Redfall gets a new gun and performance improvements in third major patch

Six month after its initial release, developer Arkane’s beleaguered vampire shooter Redfall has received a third major patch, this one primarily focusing on performance improvements and fixes, although it does add a tiny bit of new content in the form of a gun.

Specifically, Redfall players now have access to the Basilisk, an Unrivaled Sniper Rifle that can charge the first bullet in a full magazine with UV power to petrify Vampires. It can be found in locations where Unrivaled items spawn, but is most likely to drop from Bellwether-themed containers in the open-world or vampire nests.

Beyond the Basilisk, Redfall’s latest update brings bug fixes, balance improvements, and more – as detailed in its patch notes – touching on all aspects of the game, including AI and NPCs, gameplay and missions, heroes, UI, audio, and accessibility. Performance and stability is also a focus, with Arkane promising “various performance fixes related to FPS drops and stuttering.”
