2x EXP Coupon Lost on Channel Change: Fix & Workaround

Overview

At launch, changing channels removes active buffs in Soul's Remnant — including the 2x EXP coupon from the Daily Hunt. Players reported this on day one, and the developer had a hotfix in progress inside the first 24 hours. Until the fix ships, treat channel changes as buff-unsafe.

The workaround

1. Step label — Claim the 2x EXP coupon from the Quest Master's Daily Hunt before a long grinding session.
2. Step label — Stay on one channel for the full 15-minute buff window — no channel changes at all.
3. Step label — Treat the rule as applying to every buff, not just the coupon, until the fix is confirmed.
4. Step label — Watch the Steam announcements and the official Discord for the hotfix patch notes.

What to watch out for

The bug looks like a design oversight rather than an intended balance mechanic, which is why players expect it to be patched. Whether the fix has shipped is not yet confirmed at the time of writing — the safe route is to avoid CC while any buff is running.

Tip: plan your grind around the coupon — pop it, pick a quiet channel, and stay there for the full 15 minutes.
