The same update was released on PC a few weeks back. It brought in some much-needed balance changes, that kind of helped Ubisoft win the players back. The developer previously was threatened with the game’s boycott.
The new update on PS4 and Xbox One came with a similar package as PC and offers Balance Changes as well. The Steel system is also tweaked now and offers more steel after the matches. It offers loads of bug fixes, character, and balance revamps, and more.
From visual effects to various feats, character modifications to Balances and orders are all updated in the new update. Various other elements of the game are also tweaked along with the Gear Stats fixes and rebalancing is also provided.
With a nimber of tweaks, balancing, and revamps, the For Honor Update 1.05 sure has brought a lot of changes to the game. Hopefully, players will now be satisfied with the gameplay and all the other crucial elements. Following are the full Patch notes released by Ubisoft for For Honor Update Patch 1.05.
For Honor Update Patch 1.05 Patch Notes

FEATS
Regenerate
- Health regeneration only works from Idle
- Health regeneration set to 12HP per tick (from 10HP)
- Developer comments: Regenerate could be exploited by fighting enemies Out of Guard Mode. The Warlord could just release lock, take hits, and the Feat would regenerate his HP without much of a challenge. This is not a behavior we want to encourage. By enabling the HP regeneration only in Idle, Regenerate now is efficient in safe scenarios only, which is more aligned with its intended purpose. We’re also increasing its regeneration rate in order to compensate for the loss of regeneration on hits.
Shield Basher
- [Bug Fix] Shield Basher functionality will no longer be partially deactivated on death
FIGHTERS:
Nobushi
- [Bug Fix] Hidden Stance input improvement
- [Bug Fix] Nobushi’s bleed can no longer be applied without hitting target
