Dead Frontier 2 News

• Melee weapons now have a Cleave Damage stat, which is applied to any additional zombies or mutant hit in the same swing.
  
• Cleave Damage can be increased both from skills and from equipped items.
  
• Each weapon also has a stat called Cleave Targets, this decides the maximum number of zombies or mutants that can receive the Cleave Damage.
  
• In addition to the above, all melee weapons now deal +25% more damage and stun the enemies for 33% longer than before.
  
• The current values are just a starting point, and we will continue to tweak them based on feedback from players. The goal is to make melee useful until much later in the game than it is currently.
  

Additional Updates

• Fixed a bug with health when entering the Killing Grounds
  
• Lowered the boosts for participating in the Purge so that PvE players don't feel like it's mandatory to take part.
  
• Lowered the number of kills you need to get the higher purge boost, from 10 to 3.
  
• The duration of the Purge event is now 20 minutes instead of 60 minutes.
  
• The Purge will now only be advertised to players over level 40.
  

NOTE. You will need to update the game client through Steam in order to use the new Cleave ability.

In order to help incentivize PvP, we have started a new event: The Purge.

• 10 minutes after each Outpost Attack ends, The Purge will begin.
  
• The Purge event lasts for 1 hour.
  
• During the Purge, anyone who scores at least one valid kill in the Killing Grounds (MMO Mode) will be granted a new boost: The Mark of the Purge.
  
• Anyone who scores more than 10 valid kills the Killing Grounds (MMO Mode), will have their boost upgraded to: Champion of the Purge
  
• The boost both last for 2 hours, after the final kill is scored.
  
• For a kill to count, it must follow all the normal PvP leaderboard rules.
