Version 1.2 Fixes and Optimizations

Lots of fixes and optimizations are being released continuously to better the overall experience of Rovers in Wuthering Waves. According to a recent developer blog, here are what we can expect in Version 1.2:

• Waveplate Storage System
• Hoverdroid: Shooter
• Custom Lock-On Feature
• New Resonator Showcase
• 120FPS Option
• New Depth of Illusive Realm Rewards
• Increased Guidebook Activity Points

Waveplate Storage System

Wuthering Waves has confirmed that the Waveplate Storage System is coming to Version 1.2! Players that reaches the 240 Waveplate cap will generate Waveplate Crystals instead which charges at a slower rate of 12 Waveplate Crystals per minute. Please take note that you can store a total of 480 Waveplate Crystals and will not receive more when this limit is reached.

Take note that you exchange 1 Waveplate Crystal for 1 Waveplate, so it is still not recommended to go over 240 waveplates as you are essentially charging waveplates at a much slower pace.

Waveplate Recharge Rate and How to Restore

Hoverdroid: Shooter

A new utility tool that allows you to shoot things at a distance will be available in Version 1.2! This is especially useful when your team is mostly lacking a Pistol character and need to solve an overworld puzzle - so you don't have to switch to an extra Pistol character all the time.

Custom Lock-On Feature

Several quality of life features are also coming to Wuthering Waves 1.2 where you can now have multiple ways on how the game will lock-on enemies based on your combat preferences.

New Resonator Showcase

From Version 1.2, players can now view and display the Convene scenes of resonators you can pull via the Resonator Showcase feature.

The Resonator Showcase feature will let you select 3 characters to display in your profile, for everyone to see!

120 FPS Option!

For players that have beefy devices, a 120 FPS option will be available for PC!

New Depths of Illusive Realm Rewards

Depth of Illusive Realm will receive more rewards in Version 1.2! It will focus more on items that will help players level up their Resonators.

These items will be available during the second half of each Version update. Players will be notified of these additional items via mail, so look out!

Increased Guidebook Activity Points

In Version 1.2, some daily activity will now net you with more Activity Points so you can reach the 100 Activity Point requirement daily! For example, Spend 180 Waveplates will now give you +60 activity points, from +20 in Version 1.1!
