Game Update 4 brought several improvements to Redfall, including an offline mode, revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, single-player pausing, and a rank-based reputation system called Community Standing2. Additionally, it introduced new enemy encounters, AI improvements, a Story Mode difficulty setting, and a new Unrivaled Weapon.
Redfall compensated Hero Pass and Bite Back upgrade purchasers by offering refunds. This decision was made after the closure of Arkane Austin, which led to the cancellation of further updates and the unavailability of the promised content included in the Hero Pass and Bite Back upgrade. Players who had purchased these were eligible to receive the value of the upgrade back as part of the Redfall Credit program.
