Double Reputation - Mixed PVP Servers



Hey Survivors!

This weekend we are going to run a small event in the PVP server section which is inside the Arcade game mode.

You will earn a double amount of reputation on all MIXED PVP servers in all regions.

Start: 25.03.2022, 12:00PM CET
End: 29.03.2022, 12:00PM CET

NOTE: Keep in mind, Helping players to earn more reputation by just shooting them without any fights is called boosting and not allowed. This can be punished with a temporary ban and/or with wiping their entire reputation.

Patch 5.6



Hello everyone,
We are bringing a small patch to address a few issues and some fixes for you. Half of the changes came live last week when we had the urgent hotfix.


[h2]GENERAL CHANGES[/h2]
[h3]GENERAL FIXES & CHANGES:[/h3]
  • Redesigned the Airport Tower. As whatever was done, players found a way to abuse it. We have now completely removed the middle of it, so it's open!
  • Adjusted the Account/Season XP gained in some unbalanced contracts.
  • Fixed the contract Weekend Contract 3 where zombie kills did not properly count.
  • Fixed a crash that happened while moving and the item name was rotating in the inventory (when you hover over the item and the text is too long).
  • Fixed a bug in the animation that gave players an unfair advantage when throwing grenades and being stuck on that animation.
  • Renamed the Airdrop Caller GD to Airdrop Caller Normal, since it can also be purchased with other game mode currencies.
  • Fixed the Airdrop Caller Normal in your inventory when you received one in both game modes at the same time. That could cause desyncs.
  • Adjusted the physics of the garage building in all maps and game modes.
  • Added a legacy icon on items or contracts which are from the previous events. This icon means these contracts might not work anymore since the event is over.
  • Improved the mission system overview - It now shows in proper order.

[h2]SURVIVAL[/h2]
[h3]FIXES & ADDITIONS:[/h3]
  • Fixed some loot crates that had no loot inside.
  • Added some areas around the hangers to give players the ability to use the areas better.
  • Added more openings on the south side of the Airport to give players a better way to enter the fight.
  • Added more cover around the airport to give players a way to push in a safer matter.
  • Decreased the cooldown of the wood shield barricades.
  • Added a new crafting recipe. You can now craft rope out of cloth.
  • Rank 1 and Rank 2-10 Skins for the leaderboards should be now working in Survival and Competitive.


[h2]ARCADE[/h2]
[h3]FIXES & ADDITIONS:[/h3]
  • Fixed some spawns around Colorado that would make players spawn inside objects.
  • Removed some undesired objects left over from the Xmas event.
  • Changed the Trading Lounge to the Summer version.
  • The Arena map is now daytime only.
  • Valentine contract exchange is be possible again on the Trading Lounge.


[h2]BATTLE ROYALE[/h2]
[h3]FIXES & ADDITIONS:[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug where you would keep buffs after ending a match and starting a new one.
  • We are working on contracts for Battle royale right now. More information will come soon.


[h3]COMMUNITY POLL[/h3]
MOTO HELMET:
As we mentioned on the last patch, we ran a poll about the Moto Helmet becoming an item on its own.
Whoever had a recipe for the regular Moto Helmet, received 1.000.000 GD for each recipe.
