New items

• To go along with the new item exchange missions listed above, the following new photon arts have been released.

• The new Dallgun Viewing Plaza lobby features a new item shop, KUBARA SPREAD, which specializes in the sale of many 6★ and 8★ Kubara striking and TECHNIC weapon synthesis boards.

System updates

• This update fixed the "shift-cancel" bug which allowed PC players who use the keyboard control scheme to press the shift key to cancel the casting of Dam- and Nos-type TECHNICs. While not particularly harmful for Dam-types, Nos-types continue to take effect even after the casting has begun, so making extensive use of the bug would have allowed enterprising Fortetechers to achieve an alarming damage output.
• The partner machine feeding update introduced by update 008 has been reverted, meaning players are no longer kicked out of all menus each time an item is fed to their PM.
• PC/PS2 players are now able to press their "switch weapon" button while in first-person view to use their Goggles regardless of if they are on the item palette or not.
