“Gary will no longer attack the player from beyond the veil” says The Outer Worlds 2’s latest patch, which also makes a death pit work as intended

The latest patch for The Outer Worlds 2 has rolled out, and it brings some much-needed adjustments that promise to enhance your gameplay experience. After the November update dealt with some of the more peculiar issues like disappearing eyebrows, this new set of fixes dives deep into the game’s quirky physics and NPC behavior that have both puzzled and amused players.

One of the standout changes addresses a rather bizarre aspect of gameplay—Gary, the infamously persistent character, will no longer launch attacks from beyond the veil. Fans of the game will appreciate this adjustment, as it eliminates an oddly frustrating encounter that has been the subject of countless player anecdotes.

But the patch doesn’t stop there. It also implements a fix for a rather outrageous scenario where certain NPCs were able to spot players while they sported the infamous bucket hat, a choice of headgear that should have provided a measure of stealth. The update ensures that this peculiar oversight has been resolved, allowing players to experience the game’s stealth mechanics as intended.

Perhaps one of the most anticipated fixes is the death pit outside the entrance to the Algid Menagerie. Previously, this area didn’t operate as expected, but the developers have now ensured that it consistently serves its purpose of meting out in-game justice to careless explorers.

Then there’s the curious case of NPCs performing what can only be described as a moonwalking spectacle in the vastness of space, which has now been rectified. While it may have provided unintentional comic relief, players can now enjoy a more polished experience without this quirky distraction.

With these updates, The Outer Worlds 2 continues to refine itself, welcoming both returning players and newcomers into its richly crafted universe. As always, the charm of the game lies in its unique blend of humor and spacefaring adventure, making these latest adjustments all the more worthwhile for your next playthrough.
