PvP Arena Update (V0.207)

  • You can now visit the Killing Grounds from your car which is a new PvP arena area. Here you can fight other players without losing any resources, including health, ammo, nutrition and hydration. You can also travel to and from the arena for zero fuel cost.
  • You can no longer be stunned from PvP attacks
  • Dodge Duration has been temporarily removed from new loots
  • Optic zombies now take damage even if the eye is only slightly open
  • Colliders on your car were fixed (so you can shoot over it again)


NOTE: You will need to quit the game client and install the update on Steam before theses changes take effect. If the game fails to update, logging out of Steam and back in again usually does the trick

UPDATE: Sorry just noticed the arena isn't working in MMO mode (you can't hit each other). Will get a hotfix out in a few hours.

Weekend Event

Everyone gets +25% EXP and +50% Find Unique Item Chance this weekend :)

Mini-Update (V0.206)

  • Leaderboard Player Kills now count both in MMO mode and public lobby games, but
  • not* in private lobbies.

  • Leaderboard Player Kills will no longer count if you keep killing the same person over and over in a row. You need to vary who you kill for the scores to keep counting.

  • To gain a Boss Kill on the Leaderboard that boss must be no less than 25 levels lower than your character. This means a level 50 must kill only level 25+ bosses. So to ensure that
  • all* bosses count at level 50, you should therefore be in level 40+ zones (since bosses can appear in areas up to 15 levels higher than themselves).

  • Fixed a bug that stopped the Workbench spawning in various outposts
  • Fixed a bug that caused menus to update incorrect after repairing armour
  • Fixed a bug that stopped zombies spawning in solo mode
  • Fixed various small bugs with entrance rooms


NOTE: You will need to quit the game client and install the update on Steam before theses changes take effect. If the game fails to update, logging out of Steam and back in again usually does the trick

Leaderboard Competitions Update (V0.205)

  • There are now Leaderboards which rank players based on various stats such as Exp Gained, Loots Found, Missions Completed, Players Killed etc. Each Leaderboard is further split into Daily, Weekly, Monhtly and All Time competitions. The Daily, Weekly & Monthly competitions all provide crddits as a reward for coming 1st place.

  • Credits can now be bought and sold for in-game cash. For further info on this decision please see here


  • You can now visit a Noticeboard in all the outposts and instantly accept all missions there to save you some time finding all the NPCs

  • There is a now Workbench objects in outposts which allows you to Rename your items and give them a nice shiny gold colour :) You can also access things like Crafting and armour repair from here.

  • The flow of picking between various game types (mmo, lobby, single player) has been modified to make it easier to understand for newbies.

  • You can now set aim sensitivity separately from mouse sensitivity in the settings menu.

  • Loot rolls have been adjusted so that several unwanted stats types should no longer appear (find drink, find food etc). In addition some others have been down weighted so that they appear less often. I have done this in a way that attempts to balance the pools of available stats between equipment types. This should lead to better minimum rolls all round.

  • The Exp Gained and Lockpick stats has been buffed to make them more useful again (Ie it now rolls to 50 instead of 25)

  • Lockpick now caps at 75%.

  • Fixed a bug that caused certain crafting items to drop far more often than they should have.

  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused long loading times when entering and leaving buildings.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause you to change to the wrong instance after reviving in MMO mode.

  • Submit and Cancel can now be changed again.

  • There is a new steam launch option that allows you to revert to default settings (good for people who may have accidentally broken their control settings or graphics options)

  • When you start the game and there is no connection to the server, you can now retry without needing to load the entire game again! :P
