Once the sale ends, we have made the decision to raise the price of the base game for the first time in 4 years to represent the new content that we have made during that time, as well as the features that we are preparing in the near future. We hope that this sale and forewarning will give everyone ample opportunity to get ahead of the price adjustment, to be as fair as we can be.

Thank you for reading, stay tuned for more news coming soon!

[h2]Hello Deadsiders![/h2]

As some of you may already be aware, during the testing of update 0.12.2, we created new experimental servers to test out this small PvP map. The idea of this test is to see increased PvP density and its effects on gameplay. To do this, we have chosen the most deadly area of the map, and added extra loot into the world so that gameplay can function normally.

Importantly though, we plan to keep the experimental servers open and running until the end of July. So, don’t be hesitant to jump in and do some PvP while you can!


[h2]Stay tuned for more coming soon![/h2]

[h3]Hello Deadsiders![/h3]

On June 11th, at 9:00AM GMT / 2:00AM PDT, we will begin the release of version 0.12.2!

⚠️Warning:
During the patch deployment, servers may be temporarily unavailable. Game client update is required.



The release of version 0.12.2 to the live servers will require a wipe. All items, bases, safezone storage and player inventories will need to be reset for the update to function correctly on release.

Update 0.12.2 is focused on improving quality of life, game balance, and the health of our community. We have done this by adding better moderation tools, like our new anti-cheat BattlEye, as well as additional admin tools for community servers. This update also sees further improvements to our weapons and armor systems, as well as continued rebalancing. So, let's have a look at 0.12.2 in detail;

[h2]Version 0.12.2 Will Include:[/h2]

• BattlEye integration
  
• Remodeled Mosin
  
• Rebalanced Sniper Damage
  
• Revamped hint UI on all items
  
• Added more admin tools
  
• Added “Experimental Servers”
  
• Added lootable containers around the map
  
• Increased the max stack size of many items and consumables
  
• Added a slot to the Stalker Backpack
  
• Rebalanced the event rewards for missions, cargo drops, and heli crashes
  
• Changed armored vest and helmet prices
  
• Minor sound optimization
  
• Added some various loot spawns
  
• Added a hint to disable the training quest into the tutorial UI
  
• Rebalanced some crafting requirements
  
• Added a hardcore tag in the server browser UI for hardcore servers
  
• Changed the server browser filters to show hardcore servers in the listing by default
  

[h2]Admin Tools[/h2]

When designing these new admin tools for community servers, we wanted to give server admins the ability to better moderate their servers, while also setting limits to avoid potential abuse. For example, we decided not to give server admins the ability to see players through walls (ESP). Instead, you can see their approximate location on the map.


We understand that these new tools can be used to cheat, and while we have built in some limits, the responsibility of using this power correctly ultimately comes down to our server admins. So, we ask that you please use these tools responsibly. We are hopeful that these new tools allow community servers to flourish, and allow for more unique servers to be created.

[h2]Experimental Servers[/h2]

If you didn’t see our recent experiment on the Public Test Server, these experimental servers have a unique, much smaller map than normal. This results in much higher PvP density, and less travel time. We decided to continue making these servers accessible to the players who enjoyed them during the test.


[h2]Armor Durability & Repair System[/h2]

Similar to our weapon durability system, we have added an armor durability level that drops when shot. After dropping enough durability, the armor will start to provide less damage protection. They can now be disassembled into parts, and repaired. While durability can be annoying to manage, we believe that this system adds some much needed depth into our armor system, and makes armor more valuable overall.


[h2]Armor Penetration System[/h2]

Lastly, we have added varying armor penetration values for each weapon. Weapons with higher penetration values will have less damage reduction when passing through armor. These penetration and armor protection values can be seen in game with the new hint UI. This new system should help better balance our weapons and armor, as well as add even more depth into our weapon variety, with weapons gaining a new stat to further differentiate them.

[h2]Hello Deadsiders![/h2]

As we continue work on the PTS, we thought it would be a good time to run an experiment that we think a lot of you will really enjoy. On the PTS client, we have opened a few experimental servers that you can enter directly from the main menu by clicking on the new experimental server button. These two experimental PvP servers have a much smaller map than normal (5x4), with the server size remaining at 50.

This experiment is focused on the effects of PvP density on gameplay, and how our community plays under these conditions. We also expect this experiment to be quite fun, with constant PvP around every corner, it definitely won’t be boring.


For the map area, we have chosen this specific 5x4Km area, as it's the most common place for PvP on the map overall. You will notice that some areas are gone, like the bunker in the north, so we have made a few minor changes and additions to the map so that gameplay can function normally, and so that all 50 players can find loot in this smaller area.

Outside of the changes to the map, we have continued working on version 0.12.2, and updated the PTS with our new changes. This includes revised heli and mission rewards, and reduced cloth requirements for armor.

The biggest change in this PTS update, is the sniper rifle rebalance. We have generally reduced the damage dealt through armor, making headshots more important. The damage reduction is relatively slight, so it's not really noticeable on most rifles. The exception is the M99, as a Heavy Assault Vest will now have a chance to save you from getting one shot. This is a big change for the M99, but we have heard your complaints about the weapon, and we hope this makes it a bit more balanced.

So, that is all of the changes and updates we have for you today. Be sure to check out the Experimental servers, and don’t forget to fill out the feedback survey! It's the best way to send your feedback directly to the developers.
