Astral Ascent Update 1.4 Adds The Arsenal and New Weapons
Hibernian Workshop has launched Astral Ascent update 1.4 on Steam, adding eight new weapons, 36 unlockable passives, and new gameplay variety.
Hibernian Workshop has released update 1.4 for Astral Ascent on Steam, known as The Arsenal update. Console releases will follow later in the month.
New Weapons and Unlocks
Each of the four heroes receives two new weapons, expanding the total weapon pool to 12. Players unlock the Arsenal by meeting the Master at least once, and unlock individual weapons by defeating the Master at Destiny Levels 2 and 4 with each character.
Weapon Passives
Every weapon now features three attached passives. These are unlocked by completing specific in-game quests during runs at any Destiny Level. Once unlocked, players can swap weapon passives mid-run at Arsenal rooms located in intro areas and before the Master.
Why this patch matters
The Arsenal update significantly broadens build variety in Astral Ascent by giving players distinct tools and mid-run customization options.
