For Honor has today launched its September 23 update, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes for this update. Today’s update mainly looks to bring some minor balancing adjustments, alongside some bug fixes to help refine the game. These balance adjustments mainly come in the Testing Grounds as well, so things are fairly low-key with today’s patch. Still, improvements are improvements, and bug fixes are no exception to that. Without further adieu, here’s everything new with the September 23 update for For Honor!

Decreased Boosted Zone Points to 1.5/s (from 1.8)

Increased Captured Minion Lane Points to 1.5/s (from 0.9)

In the first week of testing, players focused on Side Points much more than the Minion Lane, and as such were spending very little time clearing minions; this lead to lowered point gain as teams control the Minion Lane for shorter periods of time. We want players to still consider the Minion Lane as a good place to gain points and to spread apart, so this change is aimed at making sure that the Minion Lane is still an attractive place to focus efforts towards.
