A new Dead or Alive 6 update is here, and patch 1.02 begins to address issues people have had with the game. Most notably, it helps fix the costume part acquisition method a little, while giving more difficult Quest mode challenges and new animations for Bass, Hitomi, Kasumi, and Marie Rose for whenever the four characters enter or exit a stage. It also paves the way for people to buy and use the Happy Wedding Costumes Vol. 1 add-on.
The exact details for costume pattern parts weren’t detailed in the patch notes. However, a tweet from yesterday said parameters would be adjusted and a second one said the randomness of it would be adjusted. It seems to suggest that now people might be earning costume pattern parts for the character they are currently using, rather than them being doled out randomly like before.
Dead or Alive 6‘s official Twitter account confirmed that the launch costume part campaign for the game, which is in effect and has been extended, will become permanent. This means people will earn 100x more parts when playing through the Arcade, Time Attack, Ranked, and Survival modes.
With the next March update, we are planning to adjust costumes parts drop quantity to max 100x times even after campaign ends, and modify how they’re obtained in DOA QUEST. Lobby feature also on the way, more details coming soon. #DOA6
