Nightdive Studios has released the second major update for the updated version of Blood that is using Nightdive Studio’s KEX Engine, Blood: Fresh Supply. According to the release notes, patch 2 allows reflection effects to appear on player when picking up the reflection powerup, makes the Ecto Skull Projectile to be transparent, and makes Gargoyle Statues and Phantasm to bleed when shot.

Moreover, this update features various fixes involving Hitscan and Vectorscan, fixes an issue with gib objects and other types from spawning two of the same item, allows players to interact with stone statues and adds full rendering support for wall type 501.

This patch also fixes a number of issues. For example, it fixes a bug with pressing use on wall sprites with flip-y flag set, damage sectors not immediately damaging player on land impact, scroll floors/ceilings in wrong direction in E2M6 and mouse not working on main menu after loading lower saves.

As always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client, and you can find its complete changelog below.
