The Forsaken update 2.3.4.1 brings one of the most impactful hotfixes yet to the popular Roblox asymmetrical game. Designed to enhance gameplay balance and clarity, this patch introduces a wave of changes for both survivors and killers, addresses key exploits, and improves the overall quality of life—especially for mobile players.
If you’ve been waiting for better tracking mechanics, fairer stun responses, and smoother skill use, this update delivers just that.
Elliot Rush Hour Adjustment – Exploit Removed, Smoothness Improved
The survivor Elliot received a major update to his signature skill, Rush Hour:
Slowness penalty removed: Previously, Elliot suffered from Slowness for 2 seconds after the speed boost ended. That penalty has now been completely removed, allowing for a more fluid escape without clunky slowdowns.
Speed stacking exploit removed: Players were able to stack speed unintentionally by exploiting the skill’s timing. This has been fully patched, restoring fair gameplay for all.
These changes make Elliot more reliable in high-pressure chases without offering unfair advantages.
Deliverer’s Resolve Buff – Stronger Survivor Tracking
The Deliverer’s Resolve ability now sees significant buffs that make it a much more powerful perk for tracking injured survivors:
Aura duration extended: Increased from 4 seconds to 12 seconds after a survivor is injured.
Damage threshold reduced: Minimum damage needed to activate aura changed from 15 to 1, meaning even minor hits now trigger visibility.
With these buffs, Deliverer’s Resolve becomes a top-tier choice for players focused on map awareness and pressure.
Killer Stun Mechanic Standardized – Visual Feedback Added
Stun mechanics for killers have now been unified across all characters:
Universal recovery time: All killers now have a fixed 0.6-second recovery after being stunned. This replaces variable durations that previously caused inconsistency.
Stun visual effect added: A clear on-screen effect will now appear for killers when stunned, improving clarity during fast-paced chases.
This update is especially important for killers like John Doe and 1x1x1x1, whose stun times were formerly longer or buggy. With this adjustment, all killers now behave consistently when stunned.
Pizza Throw Visual Clarity – Global Visibility Enabled
A minor but important change for survivors involves the Pizza Throw ability:
Now visible to all survivors during its entire active time, regardless of distance.
This visual clarity ensures better communication and awareness across the survivor team, eliminating confusion when trying to locate key environmental effects.
Bug Fixes – Stability and Gameplay Restoration
Several longstanding issues were addressed in this hotfix:
Stamina drain now works correctly, particularly during sprinting and skill usage.
Rage quit penalty has been fixed—players who leave mid-match will now properly receive the intended time penalty before rejoining another session.
Other background bug fixes contribute to a smoother, fairer game experience across devices.
Mobile-Specific Improvements – Better Aim and Crosshair Customization
Mobile players receive a welcome quality-of-life feature:
Custom crosshair option added: Improves aiming precision for touch users, especially in chase or combat scenarios.
This change significantly boosts competitiveness for mobile players, bridging the gap between PC and mobile platforms.
Visual and Narrative Tweaks – Characters and Lore Enhanced
Several cosmetic and story updates were also included:
Builderman’s model updated: The in-game model is now properly rendered.
Noob’s dialogue refreshed: His quotes have been updated for improved flavor and personality.
Two Time’s biography rewritten: Lore is now clearer and easier to follow, adding more depth to the character.
These updates don’t affect gameplay directly but improve immersion and polish across the board.
Final Thoughts
The Forsaken update 2.3.4.1 is a well-rounded hotfix that prioritizes fairness, balance, and clarity. Whether you’re playing as a survivor dodging killers or as a killer managing cooldowns and tracking, this patch introduces meaningful changes to core systems. From removing speed exploits to refining stun mechanics and adding visual clarity, the update ensures smoother and more competitive gameplay across all devices.
