Mortal Kombat 11 1.05 Update Patch Notes | Fixes, Krypt changes, and more

After some sever maintenance, the Mortal Kombat 11 1.05 update patch notes are finally upon us. Sadly, they do not contain any balance updates so you’ll have to keep dealing with Geras, Scorpion, Sonya, and Erron Black online. But they do have some bug fixes and other small quality of life adjustments. And just make a mental note that “bug fixes” does not mean that NetherRealm has fixed D’Vorah just yet. She’s still weak. Also this update is only currently on PS4 and Xbox One with Switch and PC versions coming at an unknown date.

Mortal Kombat 11 1.05 Update Patch Notes | Bug fixes

While the Mortal Kombat 11 1.05 update patch notes are long, most of the changes are small bug fixes that aren’t quite nerfs or buffs. For example, you can now throw escape Scorpion’s back throw at the end of the match. Previously, it would go into the brutality even if you correctly escaped it. Frost’s Getup Attack also now does 9% damage instead of 5%. Most of these just seem like small oversights that NetherRealm is addressing.

Errors within the brutality requirements and move list were also changed but specifics were not given. Equipped abilities also now have their own separate section in the move list, meaning you can quickly see what exclusive moves your current variation has. This was not listed in the patch notes.

The rest of the list goes down each character and addresses small bugs that you’ve probably never heard of or seen. The list is quite exhaustive and you can read the full rundown below.

Mortal Kombat 11 1.05 Update Patch Notes | Krypt, tutorial, and Towers of Time changes

While not as big as the other tower update, the Mortal Kombat 11 1.05 update patch notes also contain some changes to the Krypt and Towers of Time. Aside from some bug fixes, 80,000 and 250,000 chests in the Krypt won’t be the expensive again if they are refreshed using Kronika’s amulet. The game will also give a hint that players can run while in the Krypt just in case you’ve been slowly sauntering around the island. While not in the notes, there are reports of people stating that the Naknada Shrine no longer gives duplicate gear. Also the 10,000 Soul Spire now allegedly only costs 1,000 Souls so people don’t have to grind as much for Shinnok’s Amulet.

The Towers of Time also had some minor bug fixes but the biggest actual change was allowing players to continue towers after they’ve expired. As long as you don’t leave the tower screen, you can complete said tower island. Look at the above picture for an example. You’ll notice the “00” in the top right corner showing that the tower is over, but yet it is still playable. Exiting this screen will make the tower disappear as the new one comes in.

The tutorial also had a small sprucing up. Some of the incorrect demos were changed and some additional unspecified tips were added to the basic tutorial. A few of them are also easier, mainly the Kombo Limitations and Pressure Defense Lessons. And while it isn’t the tutorial, the tournament variations are now always accessible within the practice menu in the variation change section.
