Patch Notes - Early Access Patch #2

Greetings Survivors!

We will be deploying our 2nd Early Access Patch at 5:00AM CST today. We hope you will enjoy the changes and content that has been added and look forward to your feedback. As a reminder, don't forget to leave a review if you haven't yet!




"First Person Only" servers have been added. These will remain limited during the initial rollout.
"No Group System" servers have been added. These will remain limited during the initial rollout.


Due to a previous bug that caused players to gain an unintended advantage over other players by reducing gun recoil, we have reset everyone's skill rating back to 500. After evaluating the impact of the bug, the team determined that enough players had been impacted by the bug that it would only be fair to reset all skill ratings and allow players to compete on a level playing field now that the bug has been fixed.


There is now an option in settings to enable streamer mode
Player list will show player IDs, rather than names
On death, killer will be displayed as player ID
When looking at another player, it will be displayed as an ID
