September 25: current corrections

Anchor pathfinding now follows its route more reliably.

Read the September 25 patch context

Known behavior and practical response

It hooks from range, reels players in, and throws them; the launch post warns about mid distance.

Anchor pathfinding now follows its route more reliably.

  • Break sightlines and avoid lingering at the mid-distance described in the official launch notes.

Anchor is not the unnamed treasure enemy

The September notes shorten Anchorer to Anchor. Its documented hook-and-pull behavior is distinct from the new unnamed treasure-disguised enemy. Do not use old loot-hiding finder labels to identify it.

Location and level evidence

Enemy sets and bosses are level-specific after September 10. The announcements do not publish a complete location/level assignment; an unknown location is not a confirmed absence.

  • Exact level, boss role, damage and range remain unverified.

Dated changes

Review the date as well as the behavior: a historical adjustment is not a new September mechanic.
