Dauntless feels like a shadow of its former self. Instead of building on the game’s standout features, this update seems to have removed more than it added. Honestly, you could’ve just introduced long requested features, like pets or a new weapon type and the community would’ve been thrilled.

Instead, the current experience highlights several glaring issues:

- Weapons have been downgraded and lots of them removed, undoing players’ hard-earned progress.
- Cells now vanish when unequipped...a frustrating change that never used to happen.
- The Hunter Pass was once meaningful, allowing players to earn back platinum as they progressed (a feature lost since 2021).

Even basic functionalities, like the option to change the game’s language on Steam is missing. It’s hard to see how stripping away these core elements improves the game or serves the community.
