Warhammer Survivors Hotfix v2.1.6: Steam Fixes and Platform Timing

Steam received hotfix v2.1.6 after launch. The developer schedules the same changes for GOG, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, and mobile from the following week. Do not assume every platform already has the Steam fixes on November 12.

What changed

• Chest sequences can be skipped with any button.
• Plague Marine boss variants and Meganobz are easier to kill.
• D6 Dice/Nuln Oil kill requirements for Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade paint pots are reduced.
• Unreachable chest drops on Gallowdark and Imperial Bastion are fixed.
• A rescued Legend of Catachan uses Frag Grenade instead of the erroneous Chainsword.
• Mork's Mighty Mushroom poison no longer persists long after its clouds disappear.
• Gameplay hints after the player is defeated by an Extremis Boss should appear more reliably.

The notes do not give replacement kill thresholds or exact durability values, so this page does not manufacture a before/after numeric chart.

Match your problem before changing the save

If your issue is on this list, first verify platform and installed version. Preserve the save and record what happened rather than immediately deleting progression or reinstalling. Unreachable chests and Catachan's wrong weapon have focused checks.

Older FAQ instructions can differ

The November 10 FAQ describes specific chest-skip controls and rarity-first behavior. The later hotfix broadens skipping to any button. That dated change explains a difference in instructions; it is not evidence that both statements must apply identically to every build. Future updates can supersede these notes.
