Summary (AI)

Patch 8.1 for Pass the Fear introduces several reworks and balance changes to key items and effects. The Forged Crown of Battle Fervor, Blood Moon Necklace, and Lord's Mercy now have altered effects that enhance combat performance, particularly with Bullet Attack and Physical Battle Skill Damage. Adjustments to the Ring of Suffering, Overload Coil, and Shock Round modify how damage bonuses and resistances interact, including changes to Lightning and Final Damage conversions. Frost Fist's armor-breaking effects have also been improved for greater resistance reduction. Additionally, quality-of-life features like separated screen shake and controller vibration settings, along with an Auto Dismantle option, have been added.
