Lootbound Patch 1.1.7 Notes: Item Choice and Dice Rewards

What changed in Lootbound Patch 1.1.7?

Patch 1.1.7 changes item selection so players can choose between one common reward and a dice roll with a chance of a better result. The update also makes Difficulty II slightly harder, fixes several minor bugs, and improves overall game stability, according to the developer’s official notes.

System	Official change
Item selection	Made more fair and predictable
Safe choice	Take one common reward
Risk choice	Roll the dice for a chance at something better
Difficulty II	Slightly increased challenge
General quality	Minor bug fixes and stability improvements

How does the new reward choice work?

The update creates an explicit safe-versus-risk decision. The common reward is the predictable option described by the notes; rolling the dice gives up that certainty for a chance at something better. The announcement does not say that the risky choice always improves the reward or disclose its probability.

This makes route and reward decisions easier to describe without pretending the underlying odds are known. Use the dice-roll mechanics guide for the confirmed boundaries, and the map routes guide when comparing a reliable reward with a higher-variance option.

Why was Difficulty II changed?

ArtDock says Difficulty II was made slightly more challenging so it better matches the intended difficulty progression. No enemy values, percentages, or named modifiers were included, so older and newer Difficulty II observations should be labeled with their game version before being compared.

The Difficulty II adjustment is separate from the item-selection change. The official announcement does not claim that choosing the common reward or rolling the dice changes the selected difficulty.
