1.1 Patch 2 dropped today for Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and it's heavy on the balance work. The big story here is Bosco finally remembering how to do his job, a bug where he'd refuse to pick up eggs in Egg Hunt is fixed, along with a handful of other AI and crash issues that were dragging the experience down.

Beyond the bug fixes, this is a rebalance patch that swings the nerf bat at a few overperformers while throwing buffs at weapons that needed the help. Cloth Armor Mutator's getting cut in half (from -100% to -50% armor penalty), and Thermal Oscillator's damage bonus is dropping from 50% to 25%. On the flip side, underused gear like Kinetic Chip and Acid Chip are getting solid boosts to Bosco's effectiveness, and overclocks like Focused Lens (now +200% damage instead of +100%) and The Reaper (no longer clips to 1 ammo) are getting actual teeth back.

There's also a pile of smaller fixes, XP cubes that were stuck floating in the air, stat upgrade text formatting, and colliders that weren't blocking bullets properly. Check the full notes below for the complete breakdown.
