📝 Hotfix [24.10.2025]

The following changes have been made without stopping the game servers:

Hunter and Survivor stats have been adjusted to improve gameplay balance.

Hunter stats:
Health: 1650 → 1500;
Speed: 18.5 → 15.

Survivor speed modifiers:
Medic: –6 → –2;
Scout: –4 → 0;
Military: –7.5 → –2;
Engineer: –6 → –2.

To address unintended gameplay behavior — specifically "teaming with Hunter" — the following adjustments were made:

• The mode scoring conversion coefficient has been rebalanced.
• A limit has been introduced on re-earning points from the same source within a single session.
• Points awarded for in-match actions like collecting folders, capturing Survivors, etc. have been reduced, with the majority of points now granted at session end — based on outcomes such as successful evacuation, Hunter kill, or Hunter victory.

To improve in-game economy and overall balance:

• Artefact drop chances from crates have been corrected to their intended values.

⚠️ The listed adjustments are not final. We’ve been actively fixing bugs and issues since day one, however, these particular hotfixes are specifically aimed at bringing the gameplay closer to an optimal balance.

Sincerely,
EXBO Team
