Icarus Week 158 Update Adds Tier 4 Advanced Pistol
Icarus Week 158 introduces a modifiable Tier 4 pistol with an 8-round magazine, network optimizations, and new damage number display settings.
The latest weekly update for Icarus expands the high-tier armory with a craftable Tier 4 sidearm and implements network fixes to reduce connection drops.
The Advanced Pistol
The Fabricator crafts a Tier 4 basic pistol featuring an 8-round magazine and higher damage output than its predecessor. Players can modify this sidearm at alteration benches.
Gameplay Settings and Quality of Life
A gameplay option allows players to hide damage numbers generated by other squadmates. Item acronyms have periods removed for consistency, and quest classes load with blocking logic to mitigate SuperStruct-related crashes.
Networking and Stability
Developers optimized replication calls for deployable generator components to prevent network flooding during prospect loads. Several RPC calls were changed from reliable to unreliable to minimize connection rejections and server join errors.
Why this patch matters
Week 158 provides a sidearm upgrade for high-level players while addressing backend networking stability.
