Warhammer Survivors Hotfix 2.1.6 Patch Notes
Read the developer’s Steam hotfix 2.1.6 changes to chest controls, enemy difficulty, paint pot objectives and rescue behavior, with platform timing.

Auroch Digital released hotfix v2.1.6 for Steam on November 11, 2026. It changes chest controls, adjusts some enemy and unlock requirements, and fixes several gameplay issues. The developer says the changes are planned for GOG, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, and mobile from the following week; that schedule is not a confirmation of release on each platform.
Controls and balance
- Chest sequences: the developer says pressing any button can skip the sequence. See the chest control guide for the older FAQ and the condition the patch does not clarify.
- Plague Marine boss variants and Meganobz: adjusted to be easier to kill.
- Paint pots: the D6 Dice and Nuln Oil kill requirements for Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade were reduced. The notes do not state the new counts.
Fixes
- Chests could drop in unreachable places on Gallowdark and Imperial Bastion.
- After rescue, the Legend of Catachan could attack with a Chainsword instead of his Frag Grenade.
- Poison from Mork’s Mighty Mushroom could continue affecting the player after its clouds disappeared.
- Gameplay hints could fail to appear after defeat by an Extremis Boss.
These points summarize the developer’s Steam notes; we have not tested the hotfix. Check your platform’s installed version and the official announcement for rollout updates.
