Gameplay Patch 7.41e and Summer Scrub: patch history

Gameplay Patch 7.41e and Summer Scrub

The International approaches and we've just released an update that includes predictions, fantasy, supporter bundles, and a chance to prove your skills and win new Immortals and unlock terrains.

But that's not all. Today we're also releasing patch 7.41e. Even that's not everything, though. Dota is a complicated game, and while we greatly enjoy the creativity and diligence of the dedicated players who find intricate and absurd bugs, we also like *fixing* those bugs. So today we're also releasing the Summer Scrub, a huge collection of new features as well as fixes for gameplay and content bugs, ranging from Abaddon's taunt to Zeus's Dota Plus challenge.

The list is too long for this post, so we made a whole page just to list all the changes.

Dota 2 Update - 7/1/2026

Over the past few days we've made various bug fixes and improvements:

Dark Carnival • Playing Regular and Turbo games now reward Scrap tickets. 6 Scrap can be traded for a Hero ticket of your choice. Regular games reward 2, Turbo games reward 1. Scrap is rewarded regardless of winning or losing.

• Seeing Stones can now be earned by playing Co-op Bot Matches on Hard and Unfair difficulties

• Candyworks now displays if an offered item is already owned

• The Dark Carnival Hero Filter button now shows a tooltip displaying the ticket requirement for the next reward

• Fixed the Ticket Trader not working after being unlocked for some players

Dota 2 Update - 7/1/2026

• Fixed Ability Draft and cooperative bot matches not granting Tickets

General • Players no longer need to select both high-demand roles in order to not spend a Role Queue Game for Ranked Roles. Instead, solo players need to select at least one of the high-demand roles in order to not spend a Role Queue Game.

• Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause ability charges to get stuck for abilities with an Aghanim's Scepter upgrade when repeatedly dropping and picking up the Aghanim's Scepter

• Fixed Tower Glyph of Fortification Multishot attacks incorrectly having True Strike
