The Gunfire Reborn update for June 2 is finally here, and here’s everything that’s been changed and added with this patch! The team has clarified that this update very much is to make tweaks upon some of the issues players noticed since the hefty Summer update last month. They’ve also clarified that at the end of July, updates for difficulty on Reincarnation and changes to the new Abyssal Serpent boss will be made. Be sure to keep an eye out for that. Without further adieu, here’s everything that’s changed with the Gunfire Reborn July 2, 2021 update!

For such an insignificant update, that is a lot of patch notes. Either way, the Gunfire Reborn July 2 update really brings a lot of solid changes to the table. The new enhanced occult scrolls and spiritual blessings should throw some new things into the mix on your runs. And beyond that, I’m a little happy to see Coins of Life depart from the game. All of your money for a single counter to lethal damage really isn’t worth your time.

Gunfire Reborn is currently available on PC through Steam. If you’d like to see more details regarding these changes, check out the official blog post.
