Back 4 Blood was a pretty big deal when it launched on Game Pass back in October. We enjoyed our time with Left 4 Dead's spiritual successor, even if there were a few problems. One of those was overall balance, which the developer has continually tweaked since.
With the game's February updates comes a huge list of balance changes for Back 4 Blood, the biggest yet. There's tweaks to all sorts in here, including increased ammo counts, higher weapon damage levels, friendly fire adjustments and more.
Most weapons in the game have been changed, with a lot receiving damage buffs based on difficulty levels. Reload times have been adjusted too, along with fire rate changes.
In terms of more general updates to Back 4 Blood, here's what sticks out the most. Friendly fire damage no longer increases at higher difficulty levels, players now earn supply points even when failing a run, and you can now whack the Breaker’s weak spots with melee weapons.
The full list of changes is available on the Back 4 Blood website. We've dropped off this once since launch, but we might have to get stuck in again after this latest patch, which is already live.

I really enjoyed Back 4 Blood - but man does it get really freaking hard!
Like one minute you are just tearing things up and the next minute, total slaughter. It's a crazy spike in difficulty - almost as if I was "missing" something as I felt like it shouldn't have been as hard as it was.
Anyways, I haven't really returned to the game due to its crazy hard difficulty spikes.
Not saying the game needs to be "easy", but things started to seem impossible at times.
If they are fixing the difficulty then I might jump back in to comlete the campaign
The fact that if you played the game as a solo player with bots to fill up the rest of the team... the game would not count that progression or some weird *****. That, and the game was just not even close to as fun as I predicted it to be in the months before launch sadly.
This Rainbow 6 Extraction game has been a huge surprise hit or me, I expected dog ***** before I tried it myself. R6E is honestly way more fun and B4B
I really wish this game wouldn’t lock you out of all the acts if you’ve not already done them. I can only search for people playing act 1 why? It’s not like it’s following a deep story narrative. If it wasn’t on gamepass and I paid money for it it would be complete bs that I’m locked out of the other chapters because the point in time when people still played this and were also on act 1 have now moved on and I’m stuck with the damn bots. I’m sure L4D I could just join a game playing any part of the game.
have they fixed solo play yet?
Streamed it Day 1 and was so excited. Ended up so Disappointed and Hated it. My biggest complaint was....Game Balance. I haven't played it since. I will wait for more fixes before I try it again
