Infestation: Battle Royale News

Hello everyone,
We are bringing another patch for you guys that will bring content for the next global event!
We are also making major corrections to the AI and Quality of Life towards them, along with engine corrections to improve overall performance for both game client and server. These will also allow us more leeway to create new features.
And we are adding a handy visual update to show you when you receive EXP and Season Pass XP.

[h2]GENERAL CHANGES[/h2]
[h3]GENERAL FIXES & CHANGES:[/h3]

• Added the bandit camps to the minimap and the compass.
  
• Made improvements to the transport system (Bus, Clan Points, Safe Zone Shuttles) camera animation.

• Fixed various bugs with the vehicles.

We wish everyone a great weekend!

Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce a great new feature that is being worked on and is ready for an early release. We will be bringing AI to Infestation!
This is something that's long overdue and is being asked by players for a couple of years now.
Without further ado, here is the video of our DevBlog on the new AI Bots:

  • AI Bots have two main categories: Bandits and Civilians.
    
  • Bandits will shoot on sight and will drop loot.

• Rifle Laser can be toggled on/off by pressing the Flashlight key (Default is F).
  
• Fixed a major issue with sounds not playing properly when too many zombies were around you.
