Welcome to Breacher's Archive, an unofficial community hub for The Citadel: a starter guide, a codex of ships, modules and places, answers to the questions new pilots ask most, shared builds, a trading board and this forum. Every answer shows where it comes from and which patch it was checked against.
Beta Patch 2 is live. The highlights, in short:
- The beta now runs for two weeks and ends on 15 October 2026.
- Squads hold five pilots.
- Missile and torpedo launchers sit on battery hardpoints, and missiles and mines deal a new damage type: high-explosive.
- Armor and shields have real resistances now: armor favours kinetic, shields favour high-explosive.
- Every ship has four safety cargo cells (a 2×2 square, top left).
- Tab targeting has a set order, can cycle and can unlock.
- Five camera modes, and NPCs fly around walls instead of into them.
- The game reacts much faster: weapons, modules, inventory moves and trades respond straight away.
The full summary is on the Beta Patch 2 page, and answers affected by the patch have been updated or flagged.
