Patch 5.8



Hello everyone,

We are bringing a new Patch for Infestation: The New Z with some fixes and some new additions to the game, reworking existing vehicles and adding new ones.

[h3]Patch date: 17.05.2022, ~10 AM CET[/h3]

[h2]GENERAL[/h2]
  • Added a new Truck to the game. It has 8 seats and it has 10 slots in the trunk for storing items.
  • Added the Ambulance to the game. It has 4 seats and it has 12 slots in the trunk for storing items.
  • Police, Sheriff Dragstar, and the Ambulance will have their horns sound.
  • Reworked the Police Dragster.
  • Reworked the Sheriff Dragster.


[h2]FIXES[/h2]
  • Fixed a bug that caused vehicles to act weird when a player sat in the driver seat while passengers were inside.
  • Fixed a bug with a sound that was caused by joining a server when someone nearby was in a vehicle.
  • Fixed a desync of players sitting inside a vehicle after someone joins the server.
  • Fixed a problem that caused players to appear sitting next to the vehicle after rejoining the server.
  • Fixed a miscalculation of the gained XP in Battle Royale. The multiplier per minute did work properly.


[h3]CONTRACTS[/h3]
[h3]The Valentine 2022 Event Contracts and Missions will be interrupted and will not work anymore, starting from Patch 5.9.[/h3]
We have made some changes to the names on the previously released contracts to make it easier to understand them. They will contain on the title what game modes, PVE/PVP, and if it's weapon restricted.
Here's an example:
Old: Weekend PVE AC Contract 1 New: [AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 1

We are also increasing the Account/Season XP gained from Weekend Contracts:

[AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 1: 700 -> 1400 [AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 2: 500 -> 1000 [AC][PVE] Weekend Contract 3: 600 -> 1200 [AC][AR][PVE] Weekend Contract 1: 300 -> 600 [AC][AR][PVE] Weekend Contract 2: 350 -> 750 [AC][AR][PVE] Weekend Contract 3: 470 -> 1050

We are also increasing the Currency Reward for a few contracts, as follows:

[AC][AR][PVP] Weekend Contract 4: 18.000 -> 31.000 [AC][AR][PVP] Weekend Contract 5: 28.000 -> 48.000 [AC][AR][PVP] Weekend Contract 6: 50.000 -> 75.000

[h3]NEW CONTRACTS[/h3]
  • We are also bringing a lot of new contracts which will be released throughout this period.

ARCADE:

SURVIVAL:



FIXES
  • Fixed the Alien IBA. It didn't glow like the other skins on the set.
  • Easter 2022 Skinboxes and skins have been marked as Legacy.
  • Easter 2022 Contracts and Mission items have also been marked as Legacy.
  • Valentine 2022 Missions and Contracts will stop working starting on Patch 5.9
  • Updated the Iraq Riot Shield.
  • Updated the Saudi Arabia Riot Shield.
    We were made aware that since the Riot Shield contains the word Allah, it was considered offensive to followers of the religion to be shot. So we changed these two Riot Shields to remove the texts mentioning Allah on them.
  • Fixed the eye on a character that would show the wrong texture.
  • Fixed the PVP Map Contracts.
  • Lowered the timer of Radiation Zone on Private Servers. You'd better hurry from now on.

PVP Server Event



Hey Survivors!

It's weekend again and this time we are doing a little event on the PVP servers which is inside the Arcade game mode.

We bring back the PVP map called Hospital and it comes with 2 server events:

- Only Headshot
- No Reload


Meaning you can only kill enemies with a headshot and you never need to reload. But keep in mind, it's enabled on the Hospital map.

Start: 13.05.2022, 12:00 PM CET
End: 16.05.2022, 12:00 PM CET
