There's quite a lot to look forward to this week for "For Honor," the hack and slash game from Ubisoft that was released on Valentine's Day. First of all, the studio has finally come up with a one hit kill Bug Fix, which launched yesterday, and promises more new content arriving this June. The studio took to the Ubisoft forums to outline the fix that they've created for the one hit kill bug that has been bothering players of the game. Those on Xbox One experienced a 10-minute downtime yesterday, while those on PlayStation 4 and PC had to wait for 45 minutes, as there was routine maintenance done as well.
One hit kill bug fix arrives this morning
According to the post on the Ubisoft forums, the release time was at 8:00 AM EDT yesterday, at which "For Honor" users on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC experienced some down time. Along with the bug fix, players will notice that performing a guard break out of lock followed by an out of lock Attack will experience a new attack stance rather than the default out of lock stance. For instance, players who play as the Lawbringer will find that instead of Right Stance, they'll have the Left Stance on both light and heavy attacks. Meanwhile, the Conqueror will have Top Stance instead of the Right Stance on light attacks. For heavy attacks by the Nobushi, there will be the Left Stance instead of the Right, while Berserkers who execute light and heavy attacks will have the Left instead of the Right Stance.
Lastly, the Raider who executes light attacks will have Top instead of Right Stance.
The one hit kill exploit discovered this weekend will be fixed tomorrow morning at 8am EDT. Read more: https://t.co/ADW6n1pq9Y
