How to check for yourself
- Steam news hub
Patch notes usually land there first, titled Patch Notes or Update.
- Community discussions
Players post number changes and error screenshots immediately, but cross-check claims.
- Official Discord
Devs often answer balance questions there; more reliable than second-hand guides.
Reproducible goes in the guide; hearsay goes under "unverified". If a number on this site disagrees with your build, trust your build.
