We do not reproduce paraphrased Update 29 patch specifics (balance percentages, drop rates, level grind times, new item stats). Those numbers change on developer whim and were never fully public when our original article was written. This page now links to primary sources instead.

Blox Fruits Update 29
Where to read the actual patch notes, and why we do not publish a competing paraphrase with made-up damage numbers.
Blox Fruits Update 29 — the Control Update — released December 23, 2025. Per the Fandom wiki's update log, it reworked the Control fruit (its shop price was later adjusted from 3.2M to 9M Beli), added the wave-based Dungeon mode, and introduced the Trinkets gear system. This page links the primary sources for the full patch notes rather than paraphrasing them.
What Update 29 was
Update 29 — the Control Update— released on December 23, 2025, per the Fandom wiki's update log (Updates/29.0). Its headline changes: a full rework of the Control fruit (whose shop price was adjusted from 3.2M to 9M Beli shortly after release), a new wave-based Dungeon mode with scaling difficulty and boss encounters, and the Trinkets system — equippable RPG-style gear obtained primarily from dungeons. For the line-by-line notes, use the sources below.

Why we pulled the paraphrase
Our original Update 29 article stated specific balance percentages (“Dragon armor cut from +60% to +50%”), XP scaling numbers, loot table drop rates, and level-grind time ranges. None of those numbers traced back to the Trello or a developer post. They were editorial estimates presented as mechanics.
We pulled them during an April 2026 zero-fabrication audit. The new standard: if a number is not in the Trello, a dev tweet, or the Fandom wiki, we do not publish it.
What we publish
Our standard for update coverage is either (a) a direct summary of the official patch notes with each claim traceable to its source, or (b) an editorial reaction clearly labelled as opinion. No invented percentages — the summary above sticks to what the wiki's update log documents.
