Crimson Desert Patch Adds New Skills, Intel Arc GPU Support, Weapon Display Feature, and More

by

Despite already receiving a lot of support, Pearl Abyss continues to improve Crimson Desert. They had announced plans for future updates to add things like more mounts, the ability to refight bosses, and different difficulty levels, and surprisingly, some of those improvements are already available.

Update 1.03.00 is now live! You can now choose to hide or show your weapons. Damiane and Oongka can also use the Axiom Force and Nature’s Snare abilities, which were previously only available to Kilff. Additionally, Shield Toss and Scatter Shot now work the same way as Force Palm. Finally, you can still access the Bank even with a Wanted status, though you won’t be able to deposit gold bars or make investments while wanted – they have their limits!

The Pailune camp has been updated with more space for farming and ranching, and important characters are now easier to find. Exploring the Abyss is simpler, with improved puzzles and a new loading screen song. Plus, three new battle tracks have been added, though they won’t play everywhere—specifically not in the desert or some other areas. Finally, the game now supports Intel Arc GPUs and Intel XeSS 3.0.

See the patch notes below for details, and find the full list here. A small update has also been released to fix a few issues, such as problems with projectiles and Nature’s Snare.
