Deadshot Update v1.4.0 Streamlines Super Shotgun and Boss Fights

Deadshot v1.4.0 introduces hold-to-fire functionality for the super shotgun, adds clear visual cues to the final boss, and adjusts level pacing elements like door timers and health pickups.

The latest update for Deadshot brings quality-of-life adjustments to weapon handling, interface clarity, and late-game pacing. Update v1.4.0 makes the super shotgun easier to fire continuously and simplifies navigation through the final level.

Combat and Weapon Adjustments

Players can now hold down the fire button to continuously shoot the super shotgun. An alternative fire tutorial now appears for the shotgun attachment. The super shotgun muzzle flash no longer masks the portal shader, and sparks no longer appear when shooting destroyed portal fuses.

Level Design and Boss Encounters

The final boss now features clearer visual feedback on how to defeat it. More health pickups are available in the final level. Additionally, the door close timer is extended from five seconds to ten seconds.

Interface and Bug Fixes

Damage indicators are now active during gameplay. Chapter end text screens include a text prompt indicating which button to press to continue. The weapon tutorial text now correctly reads use scroll instead of press scroll, and a missing word in a note from level C3L5 is restored.

Why this patch matters

Update v1.4.0 addresses feedback regarding weapon handling and late-game clarity, making the campaign flow more smoothly.
