Now here is a nice surprise. THQ Nordic has just released a new patch for the Steam version of Red Faction Guerrilla. The last patch for this game came in December 2016, meaning that this update comes after more than a year. Talk about dedication.

This patch brings a number of weapon balances and matchmaking improvements. According to the team, weapons and backpacks were restored to the original values from before all the patches and edited from there.

Furthermore, this patch restores default (1 minute) weapon respawn time to all modes, restores previous alternative time of days for all maps except Doubletime and Downfall, adds the map Radial to Team Bagman and adds the map Framework to Large Mixer for Team Anarchy.

This patch will be auto-downloaded from Steam and you can view its full release notes below.
