Crimson Desert’s latest patch adds 20 new types of small animal and then hands Kliff a shotgun
Crimson Desert received Patch 1.08.00 this Friday, continuing Pearl Abyss’ sustained update cadence for the action RPG. The update introduces several notable quality-of-life improvements and content additions to the game.
A key feature of the patch is the introduction of a new dedicated item slot for tools. Previously, tools such as axes, mallets, and shovels had to be equipped in the secondary-weapon slot, forcing players to choose between tool access and functional combat loadouts. With the dedicated tools slot now included in the quickslot menu, players can equip these implements without sacrificing their ability to carry secondary weapons, improving overall usability and inventory flexibility.
Beyond the quality-of-life improvements, Patch 1.08.00 also adds new content to Crimson Desert’s world. The update introduces 20 new types of small animals to the game, expanding the variety of creatures players may encounter. Additionally, the patch grants the character Kliff a shotgun, providing new weapons and combat options for players.
The update demonstrates Pearl Abyss’ commitment to regularly rolling out new features and content for Crimson Desert. The “remarkable patch cadence” mentioned in coverage suggests the game has maintained a steady schedule of updates since launch, consistently adding features and addressing gameplay elements to enhance the player experience.
