Talking about bug fixes on both platforms, the Neon bug has been resolved where her hitbox could slightly offset while sliding. Another persisting issue regarding the Ability HUD, which would continue into the deathcam, has also been fixed.
In Abyss, there were some spots where the Spike could get stuck on certain ledges outside the map. This issue is resolved as well. Treat for Omen mains as well in this map, as now they will no longer die teleporting in a specific spot in Mid Bottom. However sad day for Sunset fans, as you will no longer jump on the tall box in A Alley to make some uneven angles.
