Patch 1.6 is now live!
Prepare to suffer. Very few Commandos will be ready for our new difficulty setting: the INSANE one. This is the ultimate challenge, only for certified elite zombie killers. To unlock the Insane difficulty for each map, it must first be completed on Hard difficulty.
We tested this new difficulty at the beginning of April on the Public Test Server and we'd like to thank you for your feedback on it! We'll definitely be having more Public Testing sessions so be on the lookout.
Alongside the Prestige system change you've requested, we're also implementing a ton of balance changes on this patch. The Defender becomes quite a bit stronger and the Medic is a bit tuned down. More details in the patch notes below.
Patch Notes
1.😈 INSANE Difficulty 😈
Prepare to suffer! This difficulty setting is impossible to pass without a maxed-out player progression.
We added rewards for completing the game on Insane difficulty as well.
Changes we made to the "Insane" difficulty following the Public Test Server
Slightly reduced damage dealt by Roamers on Insane difficulty
Lowered health points for Roamers on Insane difficulty
2. Prestige Weapon system update
Attachments and Tiers are no longer removed when upgrading a Weapon's Prestige; only the Weapon's level is now removed when upgrading a Weapon's Prestige.
3. Respawn system update
The moment the first player dies, a random Revival Pod is selected for him from those located between 100 and 160 meters away. If there are no such Revival Pods, the nearest Revival Pod is selected.
This change was made to remove situations where players had to cross a significant part of the map to rescue their teammates from the Revival Pod.
