Patch 6.2.2, released by Arrowhead on April 28, introduces two new forest biomes and increases exosuit health pools from 850 to 1600, alongside new EXO-51 Lumberer and EXO-55 Breakthrough suits.
Enemy tweaks include improved vehicle-damaging abilities for bugs, a smaller Bile Titan explosion radius, and a destructible Automaton Heavy Devastator shield. Melee sidearm stamina costs are lowered and several stratagems receive buffs.
