Today, on April 6th, the servers of For Honor are down. Update 1.05 is being deployed, bringing numerous changes. Patch notes.
On Thursdays, Ubisoft regularly tinkers with For Honor. In the first weeks after launch, maintenance typically occurred in the early afternoon, but for the past few weeks, the maintenance has been taking place in the late afternoon. These are usually announced quite spontaneously. As it is today.
- Starting at 5 PM, the servers will go down. The maintenance is expected to last about 25 minutes, so you can start playing again around 5:25 PM. In the past, the maintenance often took longer than announced.
Update 1.05 is coming today – and more!
As part of the maintenance, For Honor will be updated to version 1.05 – “and more,” as Ubisoft states. This directly refers to patch 1.05.1, which will likely be deployed immediately.
The Update 1.05 brings numerous changes. Here are a few highlights:
- Changes are being made to the Guardbreak, and bugs related to it are being fixed. Additionally, the tutorial receives an update to clear up any ambiguities.
- The Revenge system is being significantly revamped: the Revenge animation can no longer be interrupted with gestures, attack and defense stats are no longer active when Revenge mode is running – only the Revenge attack and defense stats. Moreover, there are plenty of balance adjustments regarding how the Revenge is built up in combat.
- Domination: In this game mode, boosts are no longer available right at the round start but only after 20 seconds have passed since the start of each round. Furthermore, it now takes twice as long to pick up a boost.
- Skirmish: Some changes to ensure that a match lasts shorter on average. A hero kill now gives 35 points instead of 27.
- Missions: All daily missions and contract missions can now be completed in both PvP and PvE. There is no longer a distinction. New daily missions will be introduced that can be mastered in any game mode.
Additionally, there are new features for fighters, new gifts, and several PC-specific bug fixes. The Update 1.05.1 adjusts the balance of numerous heroes and modifies some values. The affected heroes include Peacekeepers, Warlords, Kensei, Berserkers, Conquerors, Lawbringers, Nobushi, Shugoki, and Valkyries.
The complete patch notes with all the new details can be found on the Ubisoft page.
