Beyond the Map Gets Major Update with New Features and Bug Fixes
September 16, 2025 - Today, the developers of Beyond the Map have released a substantial update to their survival ARPG game set in a procedurally generated fantasy world. The update addresses player feedback and introduces new features to enhance gameplay.
New Features:
- Flame Shield: A new skill for mage builds, dropped by 2-star Drowned Mages.
- Glyph of Turtle's Wisdom: Tension now also reduces damage taken.
- Bear Might: Redesigned for melee builds.
- Item comparison feature (hold Left Shift). Note: This system currently doesn't do a good job of comparing weapons.
- Set bonuses no longer require items to be upgraded.
- Legendary rings now empower specific glyphs.
- Suppressive Fire: The first skill-specific legendary affix, which increases the number of arrows fired by Multi-Shot on medium armor.
- All cloaks increase maximum health when upgraded to Legendary quality; already-upgraded cloaks automatically gain this effect.
- Amplification: Effect reduced but now applies to rare (blue) affixes.
- Mortal Wounds: Now correctly treated as a kill, granting experience and triggering on-kill effects.
Bug Fixes:
- Bosses no longer deal excessive damage to player-built structures.
- Drowned Cook's spinning bones now disappear properly after encounters end.
- Skeleton Overlord uses all abilities correctly.
- Arrows fly for 1 second, reducing maximum range to 20-24 units (still effective in combat but less likely to pull unwanted enemies).
- Fixed a bug where basic attacks restored health or mana multiple times per attack.
- Stash now includes a sort button; sorting and stacking are limited to the current page.
- Whiteshard Salt properly increases Soup duration.
- Fixed a bug causing equipped items dropped on death to expire.
- Fixed a bug where Agility increased Wand damage incorrectly.
