  • World War Z’s signature Zekes have been transformed into Walkers only for this new story campaign.

  • Added new special Zeke - Spiked Walkers: An even deadlier variant of Walker with tougher defenses that is impervious to melee until it’s been knocked prone. Spiked Walkers have an armored head and can cause bleeding if you get too close. Force them to the ground with enough damage, then go in for a quick melee kill before it rises again.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed most issues in which a yellow exclamation mark appeared despite the weapon section not having any updates or upgrades.

  • Fixed an issue in which the "Gunsmith" frame did not unlock despite all weapons being upgraded to the maximum level.

  • The mutator "Arm Weakness" has been removed from the Daily Challenge because it was preventing players from using heavy weapons.

  • Fixed an issue with loading identical characters into maps.

  • Fixed an issue where heavy weapons sometimes didn't disappear after being used.

Quality of Life

  • Added support for redirection to the EGS launcher.

  • Razer Chrome support updated.
