Elden Ring Nightreign Update Finally Fixes a Weapon Problem That’s Been Around Since Launch

Elden Ring Nightreign has enjoyed a solid player base since launching in late May. The game lets players team up to face off against tough bosses, and for the most part, it’s been well received. Despite overall positive reviews, there are a few lingering issues that plague gamers in Nightreign. Chief among them has been the fact that weapon types weren’t clearly displayed in the menus. But today, a new Elden Ring Nightreign patch has finally remedied this longstanding complaint.

The patch notes for today’s Nightreign update aren’t lengthy. Version 1.01.4 is focused on a number of bug fixes rather than an influx of new content. Even so, gamers aren’t missing a pretty significant detail that starts off the list of fixes. With today’s update, weapon types are now displayed in the Armament information menu. This is a pretty big deal for such a small patch.

Weapon types in Elden Ring Nightreign are pretty important. You want to make sure your weapon type makes sense with your Relics, as well as your desired playstyle. Before this update, you basically had to memorize weapon types or throw out a wild guess when selecting weapons from the menu. Now, the type will be clearly listed, making it a whole lot easier to work up to your ideal build for your chosen Nightfarer.

Along with this big quality-of-life improvement, today’s patch offers a few more bug fixes. This includes fixes for matchmaking issues, as well as ironing out some lingering background music glitches. Clearly, the weapon type labels are the highlight for this update, but that doesn’t mean the other bug fixes aren’t important improvements.
