PATCH NOTES

🎮 GAMEPLAY 🎮

  • Reduced Aim Sway to make all weapons (especially long range scopes) easier to aim and land shots with

  • Added Full Screen Scope option to increase performance when using sights that have magnification (i.e. Sniper scopes)

  • Decreased all ammo weight by about 50%

  • Reduced weight of all guns to make it easier to carry them in your inventory

  • Reduced the weight of all weapon attachments by 50% to make overall gun weight more manageable

  • Reduced weight of most armors by 1

  • Reduced weight of various items to make things generally lighter

  • Increased max durability on all guns except for Snipers to make weapons last longer before needing to repair them

  • Increased all armor durability by about 50%

  • Increased Carry Weight upgrade in the Gym from +1.5 to +2

  • Increased all backpack carry capacity based on rarity. Common +1, Uncommon +2, Rare +3, Very Rare +4, Legendary +5

  • Reworked Ergonomics values for all weapons, attachments, armor, and backpacks to make more noticeable differences between weapon types and equipment that alter Ergonomics

  • Slightly lowered enemy scaling per Danger Level

  • Increased all key stack sizes from 1 to 10

  • Increased Money stack size from 50,000 to 100,000

  • Increased most ammo stack sizes

  • Decreased lootable container spawn chance so loot per area isn't so plentiful. This lead to a lot of players getting full or over encumbered after the first area they looted, so hopefully this will help players move around the map more before being full

  • Money can no longer be sold to Traders. (Before this change, selling money essentially just added it to your stash and didn't ever increase your total money. This is because the total amount of money displayed in the inventory screen already accounts for money in your inventory slots and your stash. Selling the money item to have money deposited into your stash seems silly so that's why this change was made. You can just move any money you have to your stash as usual just like any other item)

🔵 OTHER 🔵

  • Changed item name from "Sample Scrap" to "Zombie Scrap" for clarity on how to acquire it

  • Added a music sting when completing a raid based on whether you lived or died

🐞 BUG FIXES 🐞

  • Fixed a money duplication bug when selling money with increased Item Sell Price setting (you can no longer sell Money anyway but this has been resolved either way)

  • Fixed a bug causing enemy survivors to deal more damage than intended when at higher Danger Levels

  • Fixed a bug causing zombies to not have their vision distance reduced during the Night modifier

  • Fixed an issue where quick removing an attachment to your stash when you have no available stash spaces caused the attachment to be lost. It now properly keeps the attachment on the gun

  • Fixed an issue where crouch controls became inverted if the player released the crouch key while under an object. This only happened when "Toggle Crouch" setting was off but it is now resolved

  • Fixed an issue causing items from the tutorial to carry over into a new game

  • Fixed a shader issue that prevented fog from appearing in raid when the Heavy Fog map modifier was active

  • Fixed a bug that allowed stacking items higher than their max stack size

  • Fixed a visual bug with item token prices when manually tracking vending machine items

  • Fixed a visual bug that reset weight and value text of a barter item if you clicked it twice

  • Fixed an issue with item descriptions not being updated right away when changing languages

  • Fixed an issue where some player actions were still able to be taken while the game was paused

  • Fixed translation issue for the crafting workbench's interact message

  • Fixed a visual issue where Trader trust level was not updated when completing a quest even though the actual Trust value was correctly updated

  • Added a few missing translations
