Icarus Update Introduces Backpack Toggles for Armor Stands
Week 193 adds a backpack swap toggle for armor stands to streamline gear hot-swapping. The patch also balances heavy flamethrower stats and updates boss arena cleanup logic.
Armor stands receive a quality-of-life upgrade in Week 193, letting players control whether backpacks are included during gear hot-swaps. The patch also refines heavy flamethrower mechanics and cleans up lingering issues in boss arenas.
Armor Stand Backpack Controls
Armor stands now feature a toggle in their inventory UI labeled Swap Backpacks, which is disabled by default. Setting this option prevents backpacks from automatically swapping and dropping excess inventory items onto the ground when players change gear sets.
Weapon Balancing and Boss Fixes
The Heavy Flamethrower receives major adjustments, including burst injector refactoring to prevent redundant damage packets and balanced fuel consumption for charged and burst modes. Arena bosses clean up properly when all players leave the arena level, preventing players from fighting multiple bosses at once.
Why this patch matters
The new armor stand toggle removes inventory clutter during gear swaps, while targeted weapon and arena fixes smooth out high-level encounters.
