Mortal Kombat 11 has just received its patch update that fixes a number of issues that have raised concerns since the game’s launch. The patch raises the currency rewards, which was the biggest issue that required players to grind for hours for a few in-game Koins to purchase Skins.
NetherRealm Studio had also previously announced that they would be giving out a free gift as an apology to everyone. The “thank you gift” includes 500,000 Koins, 500 Hearts, 1,000 Soul Fragments, and 1,000 Time Krystals. The aim of the rewards is to help players out on their towers of Time journey.
The new patch update is now live on the PlayStation 4, while the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC versions of the game will soon receive the fixes as well. Other than raising the currency rewards, it also fixes exploits and issues, makes changes to matchmaking, introduces some AI adjustments among many other changes.
Players have already started reporting the effects of the fixes. For example, it is reported that finishing a Dragon Challenge is now granting 1,000 Koins, up from the 100 Koins that were previously given. Meanwhile, winning a fight also comes with approx. 1,000 Koins.
On the other hand, and with respect to Hearts, it has been indicated that executing one of the Fatalities now gives a player three Hearts, which is a substantial increase from the one Heart that was being rewarded pre-patch. Additionally, Brutalities now give five Hearts, and showing Mercy before a Brutality or Fatality increases this number even further to eight Hearts and six Hearts respectively.
Here are the patch notes for the update, released by NetherRealm Studios:
- Fixed an exploit that allowed for more than one variation of a character to be set as default, which could then result in an online desync when trying to select that character
