For Honor Balance Patch Available for PS4, Xbox One

For Honor patch 1.03, which up until now was only available for the PC version of the game, is now available for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game.

One week after it was launched on PC, For Honor patch 1.03 is now also available for players who own the medieval fighting game on PS4 and Xbox One. The reason the patch was postponed for the Sony and Microsoft consoles was because of some certification issues, but For Honor fans should be able to automatically start the update from around 8 a.m. EST. The estimated size is about 4GB.

For Honor patch 1.03 will fix several balance issues between classes, with the Valkyrie getting buffed across the board to make the class a bit more appealing for players. Another hero that received some love in the update is the Peacekeeper, whose performance until now was barred by some serious bugs surrounding his ability to make opponents bleed. The bleeding damage was not only buffed a little, but now also stacks, which makes the Peacekeeper a duelist to reckon with.

The Orochi and the Berserker's area of effect attacks should now also be fixed, making them the mob killers they were set to be in the first place, same as their trap abilities, which didn't always fire if their opponents had the bad grace to stop moving. Regarding more general changes to the gameplay of For Honor, the biggest is probably the return of the guardbreak mechanic to the way it worked in beta, which allows players to counterbreak their opponents instead of standing there like a training dummy getting pummeled on.

Some camera clipping issues have been fixed as well, which caused the closest wall to sometimes obstruct players' field of view while performing an execution. In the patch notes, Ubisoft also states that many smaller, miscellaneous bugs have been patched as well, though did not specify any details.

For Honor is currently available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
