Faction missions: You can now see directly and clearly which syndicate a quest belongs to. Previously there were only the faction symbols next to them, which were pretty easy to mix up.

Speeder: The camera while driving has been improved, and you should now get stuck on obstacles and be thrown off less often. Your faithful companion should also react better when you call it to your position.

Kay: Some character animations have been improved. There is also now a button to quickly throw grenades. Kay should get stuck in the environment less often and her grappling hook now works as intended.

The patch also contains further technical and gameplay improvements, all of which are listed on the next page. Be careful, the final section about quest changes may contain spoilers!
