We are applying a small patch to the Closed Beta build to fix a few issues and improve the overall experience for the remainder of the Beta. Check them out!
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
As a result to the positive reactions from our community, we have decided to lift the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) until the end of the Closed Beta.
That means you will be allowed to record, share and stream any and all content the game has to offer once the patch is applied. As a note, the starting screen will be modified to reflect that decision.
Have fun streaming The Cycle: Frontier!
ADJUSTMENTS
Tutorial rewards have been tweaked a bit. You will now be able to craft a green quality backpack as part of your first missions.
Insurances will now only cover gear and won’t include ammo, materials (including Old Currency), keys and consumables.
Insurance payout has been slightly reduced as it was deemed a bit too high.
The weight of some items has been adjusted to help with the early game:
Compound Sheet – Weight decreased.
Salvaged Insulation – Weight decreased.
Some drop rates have been adjusted to help with the early game:
Rattler Skin drop chance increased to 20%.
Strider Head drop chance increased to 10%.
Some crafting requirements have been tweaked to help with the early game:
An Uncommon Helmet will now require a Strider Head instead of a Rattler Head.
An Uncommon Backpack will now require 4 Insulations instead of 4 Fabrics.
BUGFIXES
Using health consumables while sliding won’t activate them instantly anymore. No more acrobatic jabs!
Fixed an issue with AZERTY keyboards. You will now be able to apply mods on your weapons (default: mouse wheel button).
Fixed some collision issues at the Dig Site.
Energy fields are now working properly and you shouldn’t be able to just blitz through them.
The “Kill Striders at the Observation Area” contract is fixed and should now work as expected.
Having a full stash won’t affect the item generator in your Private Quarters anymore.
Various improvements on performance, specifically regarding ADS stuttering and rubberbanding issues.
KNOWN ISSUES
New players may have to restart the game after going through the tutorial missions before being able to send and receive friend invites.
Garage office keycards don’t seem to be working at the moment. We’ll find the right lock soon, promise!
Hardened Bone Plates can only be dropped from Marauders, despite the tooltip just stating “creatures”.
The “Projectile Penetration” stat on weapons show no changes when applying an Armor Penetration attachment.

One of the flying loot crates in the Airport Renovator contains a tool that is so satisfying to use. It should be carried by all the people in the world like a mobile phone is :)
In the Airport Renovator demo, you are blowing the sand off the runway, but it’s not the only use we have for this magnificent tool. You can also use it to interact with the goat, although we are not sure if she likes that…
Anyway, the old trusty dust blower will see more use in the full version of the game for sure, but right now, try it in the demo!
You’ve spoken and we’ve listened. The Airport Renovator demo is really popular and your response to it is simply amazing. You have addressed some things that could be optimized and we’ve figured them out, then we’ve added some of our own and here it is, the first patch is now live.
Changelog:
- Optimized the scene to run much better on slower PC configurations - Tweaked the visual settings at all the fidelity levels available from the Graphics Options menu - Implemented Nvidia DLSS - can be turned on in the Display Options menu to further boost performance at the cost of slightly reduced visual fidelity - Nerfed the goat - doesn't bleat nearly as much and can now be politely told to go away by interacting with it using the "F" key (will come back when asked nicely using the same interaction) - Added Goat Volume™ functionality to the Audio Options menu - Fixed the "100% complete" achievement not popping up reliably for some players
