Active Matter Cuts Motion-Sickness Effects and Fixes Squad Auto-Fill

Gaijin's Active Matter shipped The Fundamental Protocol update on September 24, nine days after launch. It adds a reward track that unlocks at Monolith Access Level DELTA and lets players spend Merits outside other Harmonization Cycles (the game's rotating reward events). It also removes view shake during extraction, strips the distortion ripple under extraction portals, halves the post-explosion double vision, adds a camera sway option, and fixes squad auto-fill.

Discussion Topics

  1. Should motion-sickness settings have been there on day one?
  2. Does a better squad auto-fill bring solo players back to Active Matter?
  3. Is Active Matter recovering, or is it patching a game players already left?
  4. Would you spend Merits now or save them for the next cycle?
