Patch Notes: v0.5.8

Next week, due to the Chuseok holiday (Korean Thanksgiving), we will be taking a break from our regular updates. We hope you all have a pleasant Chuseok. Also, for the foreseeable future, to test and review various settings through the event server, regular updates are planned to take place approximately every two weeks. We appreciate your understanding.



Distribution of Blitz Event Rewards

🎁 Logging into the Blitz Mode server: 100 TP
🎁 The top 10 ranked players on the Blitz Mode server will receive an additional perk in addition to getting the standard perks at the end of the server’s terrafire event.

Ranks 1-3 : 1 Legendary Perk Deck
Ranks 4-6 : 1 Epic Perk Deck
Ranks 7-10 : 1 Rare Perk Deck



Dynamic Difficulty in Meteocenter

We’ve added a dynamic difficulty feature to the Meteocenter.
For each of the 4 checkpoints, and also for the elevator section, the number of mobs that spawn will be different depending on how many survivors are in the corresponding room. If there are more people inside, more mobs will spawn. The reward box in each area will also contain more loot as a result of the higher difficulty.

This is our first implementation of dynamic difficulty adjustment in a facility, and we're investigating applying it to other facilities in the future. We encourage players to try out this new feature and we would love to hear your feedback.



Five New Perks

We’ve added 5 new perks to the set of available perks.
To encourage their distribution, we’ll be doubling the drop rates of these 5 perks for the next 2 weeks until Thursday, October 5th.

📌 Quick Treatment
📌 Bigger Energy Arm
📌 Big Appetite
📌 Rusty Dagger
📌 Rusty Wrench



Your One-Stop Shop

In order to assist players with progression, we’ve added a medley of new items to the transmitter shop while also doubling the max purchase quantity for wearable items, blunt weapons, & firearms.

🏷️ Every kind of ammo
🏷️ Building Core
🏷️ Workbench
🏷️ Consumable Bench
🏷️ Frag Grenades
🏷️ Smoke Grenades
🏷️ Blast Mines



Cheaper Rocket Cartridges

We’ve made rocket cartridges cheaper to make.

Superior Blasting Agent 4 ▶ 2
Fine Wire 10 ▶ 10



Modified Recoil Patterns

We modified the recoil patterns for the following firearms:
🔫 PISTOL

🔫 PISTOL EL-1
🔫 ASSAULT RIFLE



Optimizations & Bug Fixes

🐛 Fixed issue where survivors couldn’t build a second 3-Stack shelf on top of an existing 3-Stack shelf.
🐛 Fixed issue where items in the Chemochamber’s core weren’t dropping in the correct amounts.

🐛 Fixed issue where items that dropped when destroying building parts would result in the dropped item floating rather than appear at ground level.

🐞 Simplified the facility status notifications.
Before: Open ⏩ Engaged ⏩ Conquering ⏩ Closing ⏩ Closed

BLITZ MODE!!

Next Blitz Mode!!!💥

We are currently conducting various tests on the Blitz event server to move forward onto the next phase. Our primary goal is to improve and address various aspects of the game, especially scenarios where failing to protect your base results in losing everything. We encourage you to experience the event server and share your feedback on Discord.

We’re opening a one-off server this week for 6 days from Thursday, September 14th to Tuesday, September 19th! We made some additional changes to the event server settings last week.

Server Maintenance (Hotfix) 📢

[h2]Hotfix
[/h2]
This week's regular update will be replaced with a hotfix.


[h2]Changes[/h2]
🔹 Fixed the issue where some users were unable to connect to the server.
🔹 Fixed an error in some global ranking rewards.

Patch Notes: v0.5.6

We have another patch for you all! This one includes some more small improvements to polish gameplay as well as a small set of bug fixes. We hope you enjoy the changes!

Added Nitrado Link in-game

We’ve added two buttons to the lobby’s menus. One is a link to Nitrado.com for less technical players who would like to add a custom server without the hassles that come with hosting your own custom server.

We’ve also added a link to our guide on making a custom server for players to easily access the list of server commands and other necessary information.



Turrets vs. NPCs = No loot drop

When a mob dies and more than 50% of damage was caused by a turret, loot will not drop.



Beware the Axemen

Hyena Axemen can now throw their axes at you.



Clans: See what you missed

You’ll now be able to scroll to see what your clan was talking about while you were away.



Who Will Lead Us?

You can now rest easy knowing that the clan masters may now bequeath their admin rights to a member that they deem worthy.



Bug Fixes

◀ Fixed bug where Stryder EX only displayed 5 of its 20 inventory slots.
◀ Fixed an issue where the building grid displayed as red if the player died while installing something.
◀ Fixed an issue where turrets would aim at something where there was nothing to aim at.
◀ Fixed issue where other player’s build parts would display in the Integrated Utility Controller.
◀ Fixed issue where manipulating one’s building core through the integrated utility controller resulted in the UI displaying incorrectly.
◀ Removing a 1st story wall will retain the walls above if the surrounding stability factor is stable enough.
◀ Corrected issue where a wall was see-through during animations.
◀ Added an Epic-tier terrasite capsule where one was missing in the Chemochamber.
◀ Changing the world settings to increase resource drops should now take effect immediately.
◀ Single Player: The controllers for the Geolab and Chemochamber should now work properly.
◀ Custom Server: Fixed crash that would occur when setting ‘ConfigurableValues MaxTeamSize’ to ‘0’
◀ Custom Server: Setting the building core invite value to 0 now disables the permanent sharing of core-rights.
◀ Mobs will no longer be able to detect players who are both in their car or behind a wall.
◀ Mobs will no longer jitter when they can’t find a path to the player.
