Today’s scheduled server maintenance period for Mortal Kombat 1 has concluded. We were previously told that the developers were holding off on fixing and adjusting certain things due to Final Kombat 2024 being just around the corner.
With Final Kombat 2024 now behind us, NetherRealm Studios was able to implement a hotfix during the maintenance period that adjusts a few things. Despite being only recently released as a DLC fighter, Homelander has the longest list of fixes and changes. Thankfully, they finally removed Homelander’s simple block infinite with this latest hotfix.
Peacemaker has consistently been thought of as a top tier since he was released. Despite having been nerfed several times already, he proved to be a dominant threat at Final Kombat 2024.
Now Peacemaker has 50 less hit points than he previously did. Additionally, his Human Torpedo and Enhanced Human Torpedo now hit as highs, greatly weakening Peacemaker’s ability to use these attacks as wake up options.
Strangely, Cyrax as a Kameo had reverted back to his pre-patched status with the previous patch. Once more, the Kopter Chopper will now consume two bars of Kameo gauge.
Khameleon likely remains as one of the best Kameos in the game, but she’s been weakened a little bit. Now when players choose her, they’ll have 50 less health.
Check all of this out and more in the patch notes below:
• Added a new Graphics Setting to increase the 30 FPS lock on certain sections to 60 FPS, which is intended for users with High-End Hardware
