What changed each patch

Star CitizenWeaponsArmorAttachments

Datamined on patch day, not taken from patch notes. 169 change(s) across the 9 patches tracked so far - a patch with none listed had none, rather than not being looked at. Weapon damage, fire modes and range are deliberately not tracked per patch; this part of the page is about what exists and where it drops. Corrections to the site's own numbers are listed separately at the top. A thing is tracked from the first patch it appears in until the last one it is still in.

01Corrections to this site

Things this site needed to tell you directly: numbers that moved because they were wrong rather than because CIG changed them, and the occasional game change the per-patch list below could not report. The sections after this one are datamined from each patch.

4.10.1: attachments and weapons reach more loot pools
2026-09-20
28 items gained places they can drop in, and they are mostly weapon attachments moving into the general pools: Common Lootboxes, the Common small, medium and large room tables, the station small-room preset, and the Weapons Cache and Weapons Medium tables. Four items left the GRADE B and GRADE C rare tables.
The patch changelog does not list these. The previous patch's loot snapshot was built before the check that decides whether a container is really placed in the world, so comparing the two would have reported around 2,900 changes when the game only moved 28. Rather than mention a number that size and call it CIG's, that comparison is skipped for this patch and named here instead.
Nothing about weapons or armors changed in 4.10.1. The 16 new items are cosmetic variants.
Burst weapons: Sustained DPS was too high, sometimes by half
2026-09-05
Every burst weapon's Sustained DPS has dropped, the Gallant from 315 to 164 and the Custodian from 195 to 90. The old figure was computed from the in-burst fire rate, the rate between rounds inside one pull, which the gun holds for three rounds and not a second longer. It ignored the forced cooldown between bursts, so it described a rate nothing can actually sustain.
Shots per minute moved with it. Shots-to-kill, TTK and the damage matrix are unchanged, those were always right, because they count the cooldown between each burst already.
The fire rate box now names both numbers, the mechanical rate and the sustained one.
Boomtube Rocket Launcher added, with Super Heavy pending in-game testing
2026-09-05
The launcher is now in the roster under Special.
The Super Heavy row reads "pending" rather than a number, and that is deliberate. Super Heavy caps a single hit at 45 damage, and the Boomtube is the first weapon that reaches that cap with two damage types at once - 20000 Physical and 21000 Energy in one hit. Whether the cap applies to each type separately or to the hit as a whole changes the answer from 92.5 to 47.5, and the datamined records describe the cap without settling the question.
Will be updated as soon as I can test my findings in-game.

Not a game change: this field moved on nearly everything that has it, which is this site reading the files differently rather than CIG changing them.

2026-09-20 - LIVE - 28 change(s).

Where items drop is not compared for this patch. The previous patch's loot snapshot was built before the check that decides whether a container is really placed in the world, so the two cannot be compared without reporting thousands of changes that were this site's reading rather than the game's.
