Guide corrections that matter
| Notice | Consequence for this guide |
|---|---|
| Frozen Trail 2.0 | Recheck old skill trees, Anvil Splitter builds, Outpost research and camera advice. |
| Live Update 2.3.0 | Recheck Frigate and Emperor loot routes, Grappling Hook behavior and photo objectives. |
| Store Update 2.4.0 | The Raider Tool skin fix is separate from the remaining quest and movement issues. |
| October 20 PvE follow-up | The limited test ended. Further November information is not a promised return date. |
Known issue is not a universal failure
The 2.3 notice lists photo-objective trouble, Reclaimer boarding issues and a grapple bounce. It does not say every attempt fails, nor prove a community workaround will succeed. Record the exact objective, platform and build when comparing reports.
Historical achievement fixes are specific
The official January 27 1.13.0 notice names tracking fixes for Enemy of My Enemy and Hook, Line, and Sinker. It does not explicitly announce fixes for Shots Fired, Well-Armed or every other award. Later individual success reports are useful evidence, but do not broaden the wording of that notice.
The official April 28 1.26.0 notice removed the ability to complete Death From Above while standing on destroyed Rocketeer parts. The current method uses a living Rocketeer; an older corpse shortcut is not current advice.
UNSURE: console trophy-trigger parity and a fully reconciled historical achievement-fix timeline. Old Practice Range reports stay dated on their method pages. We do not call the whole list unobtainable.
