With the most recent patch, 1.08 in the update history and reads 1.6 in the game menu, the update specifically states that halberds are no longer thrown away after guard duty.
Well, after 45 hours on a new hardcore playthrough, guess what is popping up around the Rattay gates?
Fricken halberds littering the ground. A handful at each gate this far. They first appeared at night when I was going to get wine for Capon during the “Next to Godliness” quest. A handful of halberds littered the southern entrance to Rattay. Trying to remain optimistic I completed the quest and slept well into the afternoon of the next day. Guess what’s still there, halberds.
So I shut down the entire system, clear the cache and reload. Did that fix it? Of course not, halberds in the same exact spot.
Don’t I feel like a complete sucker. Dropping $10 on the DLC and starting a fresh playthrough with the much anticipated “hardcore mode”. And after 45 hours of enduring historically bad asset pop in I’m treated to the game crushing halberd bug.
Well done Warhorse, well done. You should just change the 1.6 in the main menu to .6 because you broke your own damn game. You should call in the dev team from Aliens: Colonial Marines to smooth this all out.
God damn.
