Railjack got a mix of buffs and fixes this time around, mostly focused on making ships feel stronger and less janky during actual missions.
A lot of the changes push different components into clearer roles, so your setup actually feels like it matters more in actual gameplay.

How It Feels In Game?
The biggest change here is not just numbers going up, it is that Railjack actually feels more defined while you are playing.
You can actually notice when your build is doing something now, especially during slingshot plays, turret fights, and boarding runs.
It also feels less like everything is happening at once in a messy way, and more like there is an actual rhythm to combat and ship movement.
Railjack Fixes
This is where a lot of the annoying bugs got cleaned up, the kind you only really notice once they stop happening.
Crew members behave better in the Dry Dock, turret exits and boarding animations are far more consistent, and those movement glitches when switching stations are mostly gone.
They also fixed several crash issues and mission-breaking bugs, especially during host migration or back-to-back Railjack runs.
Verdict
Railjack is not getting a full rework here, but it is definitely getting tightened up in a way that makes it more enjoyable to actually play.
Builds feel more meaningful, combat feels less messy, and everything just runs smoother without constant weird interruptions.
It is one of those updates that does not look huge on paper, but you definitely feel it once you are back in space blowing stuff up.
