Community Patch — Legacy Evolve
A community overhaul of Evolve — rebalanced, reworked, and restored, with the content and fixes Legacy never got.
What is it?
Evolve is an asymmetrical multiplayer shooter, originally released in 2015, where a team of four hunters tracks and fights a single player-controlled monster that grows stronger over the course of a match. In 2018 it was rebooted as Evolve: Stage 2, which added new content and changes the original — now called Legacy Evolve — never received. Official support for the game later ended entirely.
Modded Evolve is a fan-made overhaul built on Legacy Evolve. It brings the Stage 2 content into the Legacy version and reworks the game further: every hunter and monster has been rebalanced, abilities have been fixed and reworked, and cut content has been restored.
Achievements
Every hunter and monster has been retuned from the ground up for fairer, more varied matches instead of a handful of dominant picks.
Abilities that were buggy, useless, or overpowered have been fixed and reworked so each character actually plays the way they're meant to.
Content and changes from the Stage 2 reboot that Legacy never received have been brought back into the game and made playable again.
An ongoing patch cycle keeps fixing, tuning, and adding to the game long after official support ended — with a full public reference for all of it.

Every change from vanilla Evolve Stage 2 through the latest modded patch.
A small patch focused on quality-of-life improvements and various fixes.
This patch’s primary focus is to prepare for the upcoming 2.0 update, which will be the biggest update so far.
That preparation centers on reconciling the patch notes that have been written with the actual changes that were made.
With this in mind, and after doing a thorough analysis/audit of the work done so far, the following changes have been made/brought to light.

Rock Throw is divided into two components: direct damage and splash damage.
Direct Damage
Splash Damage
Splash damage decreases the further the target is from the point of impact.
Flame Breath ignites enemies on hit.
Burn Goliath 1 (Rank 1 only)
Burn Goliath 2 (Rank 2 only)
Burn Goliath 3 (Rank 3 only)
Traverses the environment by leaping in the aimed direction. Three stamina bars allow up to three leaps in succession, each recharging over time. The Goliath can climb almost any surface.

Burn DOT
Traverses the environment by leaping in the aimed direction. Three stamina bars allow up to three leaps in succession, each recharging over time. The Meteor Goliath can climb almost any surface.
Banshee Mine
While casting Aftershock, Kraken receives a 10% damage reduction.
Once Vortex connects with wildlife, it applies a DOT.
Wildlife DOT
A 1.2x wildlife damage modifier also applies on top of the base DOT damage.
Traverses the environment by flying in the aimed direction. Gravity never sets in during flight, so altitude can be held indefinitely. Each air burst launches the Kraken forward and up with a strong lunge. Flight speed is slow, so the Kraken relies on its air bursts to cover distance. Three stamina bars allow up to three air bursts in succession, each recharging over time. The Kraken can climb almost any surface.
Explodes on collision with terrain or an entity.
While casting Chain Lightning, Elder Kraken receives a 10% damage reduction.
Link Damage
| Rank 1 | Rank 2 | Rank 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target 1 | 364 | 382 | 400 |
| Target 2 | 382 | 409 | 436 |
| Target 3 | 400 | 436 | 473 |
| Target 4 | 418 | 464 | 509 |
A 1.2x wildlife damage modifier applies on top of the base damage.
Traverses the environment by gliding in the aimed direction. Gravity sets in a few seconds after each air burst, so altitude cannot be held for long. Each air burst carries the Elder Kraken forward and up only a short distance. Glide speed is fast, so the Elder Kraken relies on its glide to cover distance. Three stamina bars allow up to three air bursts in succession, each recharging over time. The Elder Kraken can climb almost any surface.
Consumes 50% of Repulsor ammo.
Warp Blast Explosion
Consumes 50% of Repulsor ammo.
If Abduction misses and collides with terrain, it triggers a small explosion at the point of impact.
Terrain Collision Explosion
Grab
On a successful grab, the grabbed target is pulled back to the ability's original cast location and dealt a burst of damage upon being released.
The Decoy has a +50% increase in its damage output while it is alive.
Super Nova Cloud
While inside Super Nova, Wraith's melee damage per swing is adjusted to 55|58|61.
Traverses the environment by warping in the aimed direction. Each warp teleports the Wraith instantly in any chosen direction, rather than through continuous movement. Three stamina bars allow up to three warps in succession, each recharging over time. The Wraith can climb almost any surface.
Behemoth can cast this ability while in the air.
Lava Bomb spawns lava bloblets after the initial impact. The number of bloblets increases per rank.
Main Projectile
Bloblets
Bloblets inflict a Burn Behemoth DOT on entities.
Burn Behemoth
Behemoth can cast this ability while in the air.
Hunters are not able to move or use their jetpack until they reach Behemoth.
Behemoth can cast this ability while in the air.
Behemoth can cast this ability while in the air.
When cast, slabs spawn beneath Behemoth before travelling to the target location, where they then rise from the ground.
Slab Pairs
Due to the slab count and angle changes per rank, Rock Wall forms a standard wall at Rank 1, a semi-circle at Rank 2, and a full circle at Rank 3.
The knockback pushes hunters horizontally.
Traverses the environment by rolling in the aimed direction. The Behemoth cannot fly or leap, so rolling is its only way to cover ground. The roll starts slow and builds speed the longer it continues, accelerating up to its top speed. The roll deals damage to anything it runs into and draws from a single continuous stamina bar that drains while in roll form. The Behemoth can climb almost any surface.
Web Snare DOT
Melee Attack
Acid Pool
Acid Pool DOT
Mimic Burn DOT
Detonation Debuffs (3 seconds)
Traverses the environment by web-slinging in the aimed direction. Each sling launches the Gorgon toward the crosshair, covering ground or pulling it onto walls. From a wall cling, the Gorgon can pounce, dealing more damage the farther it travels. Three stamina bars allow up to three slings in succession, each recharging over time. The Gorgon can climb almost any surface.

Behavior
Daisy acts on a priority system, performing the first behavior on this list whose conditions are met. Two reflexes come before the list: she freezes when incapacitated and flees any environmental hazard. The rest follow in order.
Priority #1
Reviving a downed teammate is her highest active priority. She will path up to 150 meters to reach one, and she holds a 15-meter safe distance from the Monster throughout, so she will not begin or move toward a revive that would bring her within 15 meters of it. This 15-meter distance applies to reviving only.
Priority #2
If the Monster comes within 12 meters of her, she breaks off and runs, recalculating her escape route every 2 seconds. This is separate from the revive distance above: the 15-meter figure limits how close she will revive, while this 12-meter figure is the range at which the Monster's approach makes her flee. Because the revive distance keeps her 15 meters back, she reaches the 12-meter flee range only when she is not reviving.
Priority #3
If Maggie is killed, she stays with the body, growls at the Monster whenever it is visible, and patrols around the corpse with a pause of about 3 seconds between moves.
Priority #4
Her only attack frees a trapped teammate: she closes to within about 1.5 meters and bites the trap, dealing 100 damage across a 3-meter reach and a 30-degree cone. She attacks under no other condition.
Priority #5
If she moves more than 30 meters from Maggie, she sprints back to her.
Priority #6
With the Monster's scent — the trail of tracks it leaves as it moves — she follows the trail rather than the Monster's current position, searching out to 101 meters, sprinting from print to print, and re-pathing every second, continuing even when the Monster sneaks. Once she closes to within about 12 meters of the Monster's freshest track without line of sight to it, she slows to a walk and sniffs along the ground. While tracking she howls, but only when she is closer to the trail than Maggie and more than 20 meters from her, with 4 to 6 seconds between howls.
Priority #7
When the Monster is visible and she is closer to it than Maggie, she growls.
Priority #8
Otherwise she follows Maggie, sprinting to catch up whenever she falls more than 8 meters behind.
Priority #9
With nothing to do, she shifts position every 8 to 10 seconds and otherwise stands facing Maggie.
