Update #178: Grinding Progression


Knights, we have a late Sunday night update here to get us ready for the new week. This one includes some progression adjustments on higher difficulties (Matrix challenge), clear marking when mission is from a hand-written storyline vs. proc-gen, 4 new visuals for weapon mods, improved balance of UAR, SMG and AR, fixed a ton of small mistakes in Weapon Mods and Intrinsic Mod Blueprints. We've also made a set of control scheme improvements in the Roster for Steam Deck and controllers and added a ton of new debugging to your F10s in case you hit one of the 2 rare cases that can still cause an enemy's turn to lock up in game (hit F10, we will fix!) Thanks to everyone playing, posting, and sharing the game with a review. Our tiny team couldn't do it without your support!

Continued Progression Tuning


There has been a lot of chatter and feedback on our channels recently about progression, optimal styles of play, how to squeeze the most of our your money or base, loot tables and more -- all good healthy feedback showing that the game is really delivering the experience and helping us to highlight places we can tune that experience. With this update, we've kept pulling the thread from the last couple updates about Power Level progression and high difficulties. We found some inconsistencies in how loot tables were rolled for higher difficulties as well as a clear bug where Mission Power Level boost and then Matrix Power Level boost were both being applied to Matrix hosts. This pushed Matrix hosts upwards in difficulty rapid on higher difficulties, faster than they should have climbed. The process is continual to improve the game's progression and to round on the key systems missing (Power Play, Compromised, more storylines, dying Contacts, etc). Thanks for joining us on this wild Early Access ride to help us tune it better and better!

Marked High-Stakes Story Missions



We've addressed a question about proc-gen vs. narrative missions we receive from some players with this update. Missions that are from one-off, non-repeating storylines are now marked in the timeline as High-Stakes with a yellow icon and a helpful hover. This can help you spot missions that are linked to a one-time storyline and spot those that lack the icon as proc-gen or repeatable elements.

New Weapon Mod Visuals



We're always excited to expand the look and feel of the game's weapons and this update drops 3 new scope graphics from our kit as well as a new high-level suppressor. We'll be working on finalizing the art processing on these elements to keep pushing more variation in the team's armaments, including new looks for weapons and all new mod visuals.

UAR and Weapon Balances



With Update #178, we've made some definitive upgrades to the class of UAR weapons to ensure they clearly fill the role of Kings and Queens of Full Auto. All UAR at Power Level 1+ have increased their Full Auto shot, making them more capable of unloading a full burst into more than one target or handing out more damage to a set of 4 targets at once. Higher Power Level UARs have also gained 2-5m in maximum range and ticked up optimal range to reduce their range restrictions as the weapons become more powerful. On the flip side of that, Kaza Raildarts (and those that will follow in the Raildart template) have had their range trimmed by 2-3m. We've also tweaked the angles for Overwatch and Full Auto cones for all UAR, SMG and AR to ensure you've got a nicer progression here as these weapons are capable of covering a wider arc.

Improved Weapon Mod Progressions


We've fixed a heap of weapon mod issues! A ton of these were simply higher Rarity or Power Level mods that were not connected correctly with their bonuses and so mimicked the stats of a lower level mod of the same type. We've fixed 3 Shotgun body mods, 3 Pistol body mods, multiple higher Power Level intrinsic mods and We've also finished the rename for melee weapons from IO-Batt to Ion Batt by fixing a number of mods that still had the old name, going from IO-Booster to Ion Boosters.

Continued Steam Deck / Controller Improvements


We've been verified on the Steam Deck, but our work is not done. We've completed a round of improvements in the roster around how the game maintains your current selection when diving into a sub-screen. This is most notable around changing equipment - previously if you selected a character, and then changed their primary weapon, when you returned to the Roster your selection would be in the left hand list of mercs, not at the primary weapon. Now the game maintains that selection whenever possible. Second, we've fixed issues with some of the floating hover elements on Steam Deck, like weapons and weapon mods, where the hover was aligned on the wrong side of the element and just dove off screen.

Final Freezes - Debugging to Isolate



There are 2 reported freezes left in the game -- both are intermittent and very hard to reproduce. Either one of your mercs goes into a T-position when about to take an Overwatch reaction shot, or an enemy starts moving and then doesn't move and stays stuck in place while looping the running animation. We're on the hunt and can't wait to fix the pair of these. With Update #178, we've added a huge heap of additional debugging information to your F10 reports that should help us track down the root causes of these two remaining freezes. If you see them, please hit F10 in the latest update!

Explore the dystopian cyberpunk future of 2231 as you command a company of shadow mercenaries working for the highest bidder. Cyber Knights wraps a world full of consequential story choices and significant character development around a rich core of classic and new mechanics. The game combines tactical elements like stealth, hacking and tense combat with strategic features like base building, contact management and in-depth squad customization. Cyber Knights invites you to jack in and explore a unique cyberpunk world and the immersive, human stories of your merc team in the dark future of 2231.


  • Turn-based Tactics: Deep and tactical gameplay using a turn-based, gridless third-person combat simulator. Cover! Overwatch! Recoil!
  • Dynamic Cyberpunk Story: Unique interwoven narrative with depth, meaningful player choices and hundreds of hours of gameplay
  • Sophisticated Missions: Combine stealth, hacking and combat across multi-stage missions. Gain pre-mission advantages from Contacts
  • Endless of Builds: Experiment with endless combos of Jobs, cyberware, weapons and gadgets to build the perfect team
  • Evolving Characters: Your team evolves as the story, your choices and battle leave lasting wounds, add Traits and threaten to strip their humanity
  • Safehouse Base Building: Construct a custom safehouse and upgrade rooms such as weapon shop, hund kennel and medical bay.




Cyber Knights strikes a unique tone with a futuristic setting that has passed through the messy near-future to arrive at dystopian 2231. Man-made environmental disasters have ravaged our biosphere. Artificial consciousness has been created, subsequently murdered, and then strictly outlawed at a global level. Megacorporate colonies and research stations dot the solar system from Venus to Jupiter. Quantum computing has radically altered the digital landscape and the very meaning of privacy and digital security.

The game's threaded stories originate from both inside and outside your team -- weaving together threads from your hired mercenaries, criminal connections and history that just won’t die. These stories operate on three interconnected and at times overlapping levels -- personal stories (your team), contact stories (your employers) and event stories (city-wide).

And every choice you make and mission you run will impact your character's permanent Traits, changing them in both subtle and big ways. Their stories and your choices combine to create a unique narrative for every game, every Knight and every team.


The second game our studio created, Cyber Knights RPG, took hundreds of thousands of gamers on an gritty cyberpunk roller-coaster, trying to get rich or go down shooting. The classic Cyber Knights has always had a huge following within our community and we are xcited to come back to the world and stories we started creating there so many years ago with an all new game, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint.

We’re weaving together the genre’s classic themes with the unique setting and history of Cyber Knights to create some of the most cutting, gripping and human stories we’ve ever told. Betrayal, sacrifice, trading away humanity for an advantage, living fast and dying young, revenge and testing the bonds of friendship and trust -- it's all here under the New Boston dome.
