Update 2.38 has arrived at For Honor, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. Since the game became available on PlayStation Plus, more players are spending time on For Honor. It offers a realistic sword fight that is fueled with blood. It’s still one of the best online games by Ubisoft, active today. It’s been nearly five years since its release, but the developers are still working on the game. We see updates and bug fixer patches often. This is a praiseworthy feature of the game. Here are the complete patch notes for For Honor update 2.38.

For Honor 2.38 Update Patch Notes

The following heroes now have Side Dodge Attacks:

  • Warlord
  • Centurion
  • Highlander
  • Black Prior
  • Jormungandr

For each hero except Highlander, these new Dodge Attacks are performed by pressing the Light Attack button (Highlander uses the Heavy Attack button). In addition, they are all 600ms, performed at 300ms in the Side Dodge, and have appropriate iframes. They also all act as chain openers and chain into what their neutral Light attacks chain into.

(Quick extra note: 26/31 heroes already had a Dodge Attack. It’s become clear that Dodge Attack is a mandatory tool in a For Honor fighter’s toolkit, so the lack of Dodge Attacks on these 5 fighters wasn’t built to help their ‘uniqueness’, but it’s clear it was leaving them unable to function at all in certain situations.)

  • Front and Side Sucker Punches now cost 12 stamina, down from 24
  • Increased input window for Counter Jab by 400ms when Parrying

We’ve also adjusted the input comfort for Counter Jab – the initial window to perform Counter Jab after a Parry was quite short, and with an extra 400ms it should now be more comfortable to perform.

Highlander

  • Zone Attack now costs 12+12+12 stamina for a total of 36, down form 40+10+10 for a total of 60

Shaman

  • Zone Attack now costs 12+6+6+6 stamina for a total of 30, down from 40+10+5+5, for a total of 60
  • Increased Heavy Finishers forward movement by 0.75m
  • Left Heavy Finisher is now 900ms, down from 1100ms
  • Predator’s Hunger now costs 12 stamina, down from 20
  • Removed the stamina penalty incurred when switching from Wild Cat’s Rage to Predator’s Mercy and Predator’s Hunger and vice versa

We’ve reduced the costs on her Zone Attack to be more in-line with the rest of the cast, but we’ve also removed the stamina penalty she had when performing Wild Cat’s Rage and switching to Predator’s Mercy/Hunger (and vice versa). This should help Shaman’s stamina economy and let her be more aggressive.

We’ve also given her Heavy Finishers extra forward movement to help her perform better in a variety of situations, and we’ve sped up her Left Heavy Finisher to a speed where if your opponent is mashing Light attack, Shaman’s attack will trade (but quite favorably, both in terms of damage and frame advantage) whereas she used to lose. We’re hoping this change helps Shaman perform better in 1v1 situations.

Aramusha

  • Zone Attack now costs 20+20 stamina for a total of 40, down from 60

Nuxia

  • Zone Attack now costs 20 stamina, down from 30+12 stamina, for a total of 42

Black Prior

  • Increased Tenebris Thrust’s forward movement by 1m
  • Fixed an issue that could make Tenebris Thrust unparriable when used at very specific distances
  • Sprint Attack is now 700ms, down from 1000ms
  • Sprint Attack now deals 20 damage, down from 26
  • Bulwark Slash’s Guardbreak Vulnerability is now 100ms, down from 400ms

We’ve also lowered the Guardbreak Vulnerability on Bulwark Slash to make it less vulnerable when outnumbered; players could sync up and force a Guardbreak on Black Prior, nullifying Bulwark Counter and Slash. This should no longer happen.

Zhanhu

  • Zone Attack now costs 30 stamina, down from 50

Hitokiri

  • Fully Charged Heavies now cost 12 Stamina, down from was 25

Warmonger

  • Zone Attack now costs 20 Stamina, down from 40
  • Heavy Finishers now have Uninterruptible Stance at 100ms, down from 500ms on Top and 400ms on Side
  • Preying Claw now deals 8 Bleed Damage
  • Preying Claw Stab now deals 7 Damage, down from 8
  • Preying Claw Slash now deals 20 damage, down from 28

The changes to Preying Claw should help Warmonger land damage more often, as well as push for more synergy with Nobushi, Shaman, and Peacekeeper, who all benefit from sources of Bleed.

Gryphon

  • Forceful Swirl now costs 20 Stamina, down from 50
  • Veteran’s Lesson now gains Unterruptible Stance at 100ms, down from 500ms
  • Mind Cleaver Miss recovery is now 800ms, down from 1000ms, and regains block defense at 500ms in the recovery
  • Mind Cleaver’s Hit and Block recoveries are now 700ms, down from 800ms, and regains block defense at 500ms in their recoveries

Forceful Swirl costing 20 stamina, should also help Gryphon access his chains more safely.

Kyoshin

  • Zone Attack now costs 20 stamina, down from 40

Out Of Lock Contextual Hint

  • The Out of Lock contextual hint that exists in-game was hardly visible to the player, so we reworked the visual contrast, size, and animation, to make it more visible to the player.
  • It is possible for the player to toggle it ON or OFF through Options -> User Interface -> Use Detailed Lock Indicator.

Out Of Stamina Contextual Hint

  • The Out of Stamina (OOS) that exists in-game has been visually edited it makes it more visible to the player.
  • It is possible for the player to toggle it ON or OFF through Options -> User Interface -> Use Detailed Stamina Bar.

Player Block List

  • Add new in-game blocklist system to help players easily block people for better toxicity management (auto mute voice chat and text chat, hide their emblem, disable group invites from them)

Voice Chat

  • Voice Chat has been re-enabled for cross-platform matches

Removal of all remaining P2P connections

  • Custom Match will now be on Dedicated Servers.

  • Note that we will deactivate Nvidia Ansel to do so in custom matches

  • All remaining P2P game modes like Story, Arcade, and Training are moved on Servers.

  • Group system has also been moved into Servers
