Patch Notes

Gameplay Improvements & Changes

New Content

• Tutorial mode added. A guided onboarding experience to teach core mechanics to new players, with first-launch detection so newcomers are pointed to it automatically.

• Endless Horde game mode. Survive an uncapped onslaught of zombies, with leaderboard integration to track your best runs.

• Mystery Crate. A new random weapon box for Zombie Survival featuring a skill-check mechanic and weapon-roll rewards. Crate spawns have been placed across the maps, with configurable settings and new cosmetics.

• Weapon Buff Station. A new interactable station that lets you enhance weapon damage, added to the zombie maps including demo.

Zombie Survival

• Host difficulty selector. The host can now choose the difficulty for Zombie Survival matches.

• Player-count difficulty scaling. Zombie difficulty now adapts based on the number of players in the session.

• Boss-sparing option during Nuke. Added an option to spare boss zombies when a Nuke is triggered.

• Round count restored to 20.

• Smarter zombie movement. Zombies now recover from getting stuck via steer-around, nudge, and teleport behaviors, reducing cases of stuck or idle enemies.
