Wool at the Gates Patch Notes — January 22, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
This is just a small update that helps address some of the worst remaining bugs and balance issues in the game.
Here are all of the changes in this update:
Fixed Bug Where Enemies Could Run Through Walls
The logic for enemy movement, especially for moving through and around walls, is some of the most complicated in the game. Because of this, there has been a bug where enemies could sometimes ignore walls and run right through them. We have finally gotten a chance to look into the issue, and think that it should be extremely rare now, or even gone entirely. Please let us know if you still see enemies run through walls after playing with this update.
Balance Changes
Berserker Balance Changes
We received some feedback that Berserkers are underpowered compared to the other classes, and we confirmed this with playtesting. We made the following changes to Berserkers to help bring their power in line with other classes.
Berserker Enrage class bonus buffed. Bonus damage increased from 20% / 40% / 60% / 80% to 40% / 80% / 120% / 160% and damage reduction increased from -15% / -30% / -45% / -60% to -30% / -40% / -50% / -60%.
Berserker Execution class bonus buffed. Bonus damage increased from 40% / 80% / 120% / 160% to 50% / 100% / 150% / 200% and heal on kill amount increased from 5 health to 10 health.
Berserker Frenzy class bonus reworked. Bonus no longer requires being below 50% health and gives 15% / 30% / 45% / 60% bonus attack speed and movement speed.
Crossbowman bonus damage against max health enemies increased from +100% damage to +125% damage.
Oathbinder troops can now spawn Summoned each life, not just on their first life.
