Icarus Update Introduces Impact Frag Grenade and UI Tweaks

Icarus Week 206 brings the instant-detonating Impact Frag Grenade, ranching station filters, and fixes for creature pathing.

The latest weekly update for Icarus is live, adding a requested explosive option to the Tier 3 tech tree alongside quality-of-life adjustments for inventory management, mission searching, and mount navigation.

Impact Frag Grenade

The new Impact Frag Grenade is craftable at the Machining Bench under the T3 Tech Tree. Unlike timed explosives, it detonates instantly on contact, dealing peak damage at the point of impact with a falloff radius. While it packs slightly less raw power than standard variants, its quick detonation makes it effective for clearing groups of fast-moving creatures.

Inventory and UI Improvements

Inventory management receives several usability tweaks. The fillable circle indicator has been relocated to match stack locations to prevent DLC icons from obscuring it. Mission search boards now feature enlarged nodes on hover, and the incoming weather forecast font scale is increased by 2px for better readability. Additionally, new filters for Saddles and Tame Beds are available for the Ranching Station.

Fixes and Adjustments

This update resolves multiple bugs across existing biomes and creatures. Tusker mounts no longer get stuck on doorways due to an adjusted cloth collider. Rabbit loot rewards now feature a 50% chance to drop leather when skinned with a knife, and skinning bench yields for rabbits are reduced to match their size. Cave scanner audio toggles now function correctly for clients, and the Rock Golem arena temperature is increased.

Why this patch matters

Week 206 delivers practical tactical options with the impact grenade alongside necessary UI fixes, keeping survival workflows smooth while development continues on upcoming expansion content.
